Uh, Dannon yogurt has nothing to do with France.

If the French think it is bad now, wait and see what our reaction would be should Iraq's RQ, apparently with the go-ahead, launch chemical weapons at our troops.

Make you own blue cheese dressing. It's easy and tastes delicious. Crumble up a hand full of blue cheese in a cup of mayo. Throw in a dash of balsamic vinegar (to your own taste) And that's it. I promise you it's better than Marie's.

>>"Secondly, nothing can be done officially without falling foul of WTO (World Trade Organization) rules," he said. "And I don't think the Americans will go down that road."

Is that meant to be a f*cking JOKE?

A beau geste?

I hope so, because I've never heard of a "WTO", and I don't give a shite what phony "rules" this "WTO" has-France's ass is grass, we will never forgive, we will never forget, and that's that.

I don't need snotty French wine.....a bottle of Boone's Farm does me just fine. And yogurt? Don't like it much anyway. Tires? American made, thank you. Car? It's a Ford. Evian water? Got my Poland Spring, made right here in Maine. Or, I can just get it from my tap. Either way, it tastes the same. So I have no need or desire to ever buy french products.

As for vacation, I might someday go to france, just so I can pee on the Eiffel Tower.

French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney (AP), Paris, March 5, 2003

The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney.

The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.

But all the blue cheese comes from France.

[geege]

I hear ya....now I buy Shoprite's yogurt......just as good......

[RJayneJ]

I can live with that.

Yeah, me too. There are a lot of ways that I can boycott French products. I was looking at some crystal wine glasses and when I turned one over it had a little sticker that said, "made in France." I just put it down and chose another brand. I'm not saying that my little rebellion is going to hurt them where it counts, but if a million Americans do it eventually they will feel it.
