European Show MiLF - Important message about hydration.

grubert says...

My bad cybrbeast, I've only been to Holland and not Flanders yet so my ears aren't trained to make the distinction. I really hate it when people assume a video's from France because the protagonists speak French, when most of the time they're from Québec. Therefore, as a self-punishment, I will not drink Belgian beers for the next *cough*hour*cough*.

Jacques Brel - La Valse à Mille Temps

grubert says...

There are a few puns in this song that the non-French speaker might miss and, while reading the subtitles, wonder what Brel was smoking when he wrote the lyrics.

- The chorus starts with "Une a valse à trois temps": a 3/4 time waltz
- Then we move on to "Une valse à quatre temps": 4/4 time waltz, still no pun, but wait!
- Next step is "Une valse à vingt temps": 20 times waltz but also sounds like a 20 year old waltz or a waltz danced by 20 year olds (the age of the protagonists).
- Then comes "Une valse à cent temps": 100 times waltz (also a 100 year old waltz) which Brel transforms to a very close "Une valse ça s'entend", a waltz that is heard (at every Paris cross road etc.)
- And finally "Une valse à mille temps": 1000 times waltz which sounds exactly like "une valse a mis le temps", a waltz took its time (to wait for 20 years etc.)

Sarkozy: Burqa Not Welcome In France

grubert says...

Respect to Sarkozy for getting so much out of so little. These were a few words in a long speech made in front of the French Parliament. No laws were enacted, still he got international coverage for a statement that was mainly directed to his most conservative voters. He's even got Al-Qaeda mentioning it!
