London 2012
I just got back from my stealth-visit to Texas, but i’m a little jet-lagged to write everything about it just yet.
I just wanted to cover one particular event of the day:
That’s right! This victory over Paris is just that slightly bit sweeter given the recent jibes.

To tell you the truth, I believe that the Chirac food comments were just a radical British conspiracy to sway the members of the IOC into voting that purtid armpit of a city of London for the 2012 olympics. I mean… it’s supposed to be the SUMMER olympics. “Stay tuned for the 100m sprint — through fog!” “It’s a fabulous 18C today at the Olympic pool”, etc. I think you catch my drift. Maybe 2016 can be in The Sunny Netherlands? 2014 Winter Games could be in the Sudan, for that matter. The possibilities are endless!
Don’t get me wrong : I could give a flying cod fish if Paris won the 2012 olympics. I think something more along the lines of Kabul or Baghdad would be more interesting. You know it’s hotter there, and they should be all “put back together” by that time anyway, right?
Bon appetit!

PS) Olympics aside, your food really does suck. I mean, honestly. Bangers & mash? Spotted dick? Eugh.
PPS) I don’t get the Finnish food comment — but the randomness of it was indeed comedic genius. Merci, Mr. Chirac!
PPPS) Jacques: “I have a spotted dick.” Hesam: “Nuh-uh!”

Oh come on… Paris is only 200 miles away. It’s hardly as if there’s a radically better climate down there. That’s like the weather difference between Dallas and Houston.
Now if you’ll excuse me i’m off to have my snail porridge lunch. It’s delicious if you add a little salt & pepper!
