BEAUFORT, N.C. -- You can get fries with your order at Cubbie's, but just don't ask for french fries.

"It's our way of showing our patriotic pride," he said, noting that his business has a lot of local military troops stop by as customers. "A lot of them stop here on their way back to Cherry Point."

"and from now until we wipe out Saddam, we're having a special on frog legs."

Superbe Monsieur. Que est-ce que vous savez de la liberation de Paris? Je sais, que le fin de la guerre c´est un merit des etats-units d´Amerique.
Je pense, la France, c´est une ami de l´Allemagne.
Mon francais c´est ne pas bon. J´excuse, Monsieur!

Why don't you lot do what we do and call them "chips".

As for "potato chips" in the American sense, we call them "crisps".

La plume est sur la table.

I had four semesters of french in college and that's about as much as I could stand!

What's the french word for surrender?

Je n´ai sais pas. That means "I don´t know" - and was my most-used sentence in French (I had it on "High School" for two years... I started with C and at the end I had E-F, but... who cares?).

I can take a look in my French "dictionnaire" ...

Please read my post today about a French 'Voice in the Wilderness". Bruno José LeBeau is a 'conservative' Frenchman who is as appalled by Chirac's and Villepin's appeasement policies as we are and has written and posted several articles supporting Pres Bush and Tony Blair.

Now is a good time for us in the US to help the noveau 'Free French' in their epic struggle to oppose THEIR own nation's policies of vile appeasement by reading and supporting their heroic websites.

Surrender: capitulation or reddition
