Is France the world's crazy girlfriend?

[Abdul Alhazred]

Roe Conn, an announcer on WLS a radio station in Chicago, just said that France is the world's crazy girlfriend.

She's sophisticated beautiful and sexy, but the next thing you know she's screaming at you. :p

But aren't all women like that? Or is it just me?:(

NaH,
She doesn't shave her armpits or legs, thinks BO is an attractive smell on top of $200.00 Oz. parfume, smokes incessantly, thinks Gerard Gepardu is sexy, Astrix and Oblix are funny and the "Force Frappe'" was something that made her a would power, and is still trying to see your friends ( UK, Germany ) behind your back. To top that off she likes to haunt a city that smells like piss and is inhabited by snotty waiters who push overpriced food on stupid tourists who have bought into the Myth of the French as the wizards of matters gastronomique.

If you want decent food with less snotty waiters try next door Belgium. But wear fishing waders, the dog crap on the pavements is a serious problem.

She seduces me, takes my money, treats me badly. . . and I can't wait to return to her.

But what the crazy boyfriend never realizes is that maybe she's screaming at him for a reason and that if he would just shut up for a second and listen to what she's saying, she might just have a really good point. :D

Have a nice day,
Kelly :)

By the way, here is his mugshot Roe Conn and Garry Meier (http://www.wlsam.com/showdj.asp?DJID=1575). Roe is the one on the left.

Any resentful Frenchies who want to complain here is the email address: RoeAndGarry@wlsam.com

Hit him in the next half hour, and I may hear about it on the air. :D

Roe and Gary can be pretty funny at times. I used to like Roe a lot back in the early 90s, when he did the morning gig right after Don and Roma. The interview Roe did with Adam West was about the funniest thing I ever heard ("Uncle Batman").

Then when I was in Boulder, I was shocked to hear Roe on the radio out there, but he went over the deep end with a national "OJ update" every night. Really annoying. Paring with Gary Meier has toned him down a lot.

I miss Catherine Johns.

Better yet, New York City.

John's on Tenth Street between First and Second Avenues is good for French food. Caution, Expensive!

Any of several restaurants on Sixth Street between First and Second for Indian.

Anywhere within a few blocks of the statue of Confucius for Chinese.

Katz's or Second Avenue Deli for central European Kosher. Second Avenue Deli is (sort of) really Kosher.

John's Pizzeria (no relation to the French one) in Greenwich Village. I'm not sure of the exact address, though I can find it if you're with me.

There's also a decent Japanese restaurant on Fourth Street and First Avenue, and Teresa's a Polish restaurant a few blocks up on First Avenue.

That's just in walking distance from where I grew up.

There's also a McDonald's on First Avenue between Sixth and Seventh street, but what of it? There's a market for it, and nobody makes you eat that crap and there are plenty of alternatives.

You can buy mangoes papayas durians at local green grocers, and also worthwhile local varieties of apples not available outside of New York, such as winesaps and northern spies.

Admittedly New York is inferior to France when it comes to really good wine. But New York ordinaires are unquestionably better than those of the French.

OK the garbage is piled high on the street and the subway smells like urine, but that's not the issue it it?

I've never had a crazy girlfriend who gave me neutron bombs.

Not even a Libertarian Chocolate-Covered Neutron Bomb (http://freedom.orlingrabbe.com/lfetimes/chocolate_bomb.htm)? :p

Not French, of course.

I'm sure you're right but I was thinking of somewhere close to Paris if you wanted a similar ambiance and were in Europe.

The French themselves call Parisians "parigots" which is not a compliment, snotty buggers would cover it.;)

Man, what I wouldn't give for a really nice half-done now.

I actually know this place, though I haven't lived in NYC for more than thirty years.

When I was there, the Xochitl Mexican restaurant and the Rincon Argentinian restaurant were da bomb. Probably don't exist any more.

There's also a decent Japanese restaurant on Fourth Street and First Avenue, and Teresa's a Polish restaurant a few blocks up on First Avenue.

Dunno that one, but I remember going to what was about the only sushi bar in New York at the time. I met Sherman Hemsley (who played George Jefferson) there. He was currently working in Purlie with Cleavon Little, which I had just seen. Apparently, that was a local hangout for the folks from Purlie.

Well, if you want the Real Urine Smell, try France.

Well I admit that New York City also has the purportedly Belgian dogshyte problem despite the "pooper scooper" laws and the ubiquitous "curb your dog" signs.

You definitely walk that town watching your feet, at least in the neigborhoods where you don't have to watch your back.

But NYC still has the best restaurants.

Even up around Grant's Tomb.
