LOL.....That was COLD!

Just wait until next season for the premiere of the new reality show..."Chef's of the Antarctic." Probably won't last long though.. there are only so many ways to prepare penguin.

How unbelievably silly a thing to kill oneself over. Get a grip dude, its just food. Who care's what a critic thinks.

On second thought maybe this could be traslated into movie reviews over here. Can we convince Baldwin and Streisand to DO IT, if they tank in the reviews? Just a thought.

[Lurker]

They get them from the French Army.

They've never been fired, and only dropped once.

Okay, I'll say it... "Can't stand the heat? Stay outta the kitchen!"

[js1138]

They're only effective at close range.

Ever see Theatre of Blood?

The ultimate cheese eating surrender.

You failed to mention French Vanilla Ice Cream and French's mustard. (There's apparently a lot more to French cuisine than you're aware.)

The French hunt deer! And with some really big rifles.

They drive the deer with beaters and then use someting like a .300 Win mag to take a shot at a RUNNING deer within 40yd or so. I read about this somewhere and it does sound crazy.

Afterwards they lay out one hell of a lunch on camp tables.

Lucky they didn't mention the dirty knife...

[Spruce]

He couldn't take the heat so he got out of the kitchen.

[Petronski]

Excellent.

[dirtboy]

Yep, once again, life imitates Python...

"Who care's what a critic thinks."

Exactly, Mark Twain used to send his critics stick pins with a little gold beetle on the head. He called them the 'Golden Tumblebug Award'.

"In your honor Sir. As a reminder that as with critics, the tumblebug is one of the few creatures God made that must lay it's eggs in the excrement of another in order for them to hatch."

The whole country has lost 2 stars in my book. Maybe they'll all follow this courageous leader's example.

[ErnBatavia]

Yeah, but we are talking about the French here...

I'm surprised a Frenchman even knew how to pull a trigger.

[1rudeboy]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but as far as I'm concerned, the loss of a world-class chef is a loss to humanity. Every household should have at least one.

[dirtboy]

I'm surprised a Frenchman even knew how to pull a trigger.

Actually, the chef thought he was aiming at a critic but had the gun pointed backwards...

[Thinkin' Gal]

Killed by the competition.

Wow. Talk about a type A personality.
