Ahh, some good news before I head home. Thanks.
I hope they attack the Tour de France and knock everybody over.
so who still doesn't think there IS a god????
Oh dear. Run off to your GreenPeace meeting and complain.
Read this on an internet forum......stay tuned for more breaking news.
The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from Run, to Hide. The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate. The raise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.
...plague and pestilence next.
Hundreds of thousands of locusts is an annoyance - not a plague. Now, 10s of millions OTOH...
So next comes, what, frogs?
The French are reaping what they have sowed!! The icing on the cake is the excrement placed on the leftovers so the cows won't eat it!! Really Biblical!!
Call me when it is also frogs, boils, and large hail; then I'll cry for the frenchies -- maybe.
Fry them and pour crapweasal sauce over them and eat them.
The locusts will just boil to death, like France's elderly did.
A bon chat, bon rat.
('To a good cat, a good rat' ... i.e., just deserts.)
What about some locust recipes?
Here are a few local recipes from locust-affected countries. Please send us yours!
Tinjiya (Tswana recipe): remove the wings and hindlegs of the locusts, and boil in a little water until soft. Add salt, if desired, and a little fat and fry until brown. Serve with cooked, dried mealies (corn).
Sikonyane (Swazi recipe): prepare embers and roast the whole locust on the embers. Remove head, wings, and legs, in other words, only the breast part is eaten. The South Sotho people use locusts especially as food for travellers. The heads and last joint of the hindlegs are broken off and the rest laid on the coals to roast. The roasted locusts are ground on a grinding stone to a fine powder. This powder can be kept for long periods of time and is taken along on a journey. Dried locusts are also prepared for the winter months. The legs, when dried, are especially relished for their pleasant taste.
Cambodia: take several dozen locust adults, preferably females, slit the abdomen lengthwise and stuff a peanut inside. Then lightly grill the locusts in a wok or hot frying pan, adding a little oil and salt to taste. Be careful not to overcook or burn them.
Barbecue (grilled): prepare the embers or charcoal. Place about one dozen locusts on a skewer, stabbing each through the centre of the abdomen. If you only want to eat the abdomen, then you may want to take off the legs or wings either before or after cooking. Several skewers of locusts may be required for each person. Place the skewers above the hot embers and grill while turning continuously to avoid burning the locusts until they become golden brown.
Ah well, socialism will come to the rescue! The nanny state will put things right, so there, there, my little sweet, don't worry about a thing.
Ahhhh
According the Intellicast's 10day forecast Paris is supposed to get quite a bit of rain. Was there last year, early July and it rained every day. A drought there is probably when it doesn't rain two days in a row - LOL!
