Commentaires sur un fil / Comments by a string

Grâce à Spider Layne et à sa déxtérité dans les méandres de Movable Type, les commentaires (et le spam de commentaires) sont de retour pour la première fois depuis le 10 sept.

Pour célébrer, voici une photo du Spiderman français, Alain Robert, lors de sa grimpette à main nues de la tour Montparnasse: 210 mètres gravis en moins de 45 minutes, sans permis... à la française! Selon des dépêches, le "funambule de la verticale" a trouvé le moyen de faire passer deux messages: "Non à la guerre" (sur son tee-shirt?) et "Hey, j'ai un nouveau livre qui sort jeudi, Spiderman".

Un autre Français funambule, l'acrobate Philippe Petit est plus connu aux USA pour avoir marché sur une corde sur les deux tours du World Trade Center à New York, en 1974. Il lit des extraits de son livre "My High Wire walk" (cliquez ici pour le fichier MP3) sur le site mémorial qui contient de nombreux documents audio et de photos sur cet exploit.

Thanks to Spider Layne and his dexterity in the maze of Movable Type, comments (and comments spam) are back for the first time since Sept 10.

To celebrate, here is a photo of the French Spiderman, Alain Robert, during his bare-handed climb of la tour Montparnasse in Paris: a nearly 700-foot-tall building, in less than 45 minutes and without a permit, in the good old French way... According to wire reports, this "funambulist of verticality" managed to communicate two messages: "No to the war!" (on his T-shirt?), and "Hey, I have new book that's coming out on Thursday, Spiderman".

Another French funambulist, acrobat Philippe Petit, is better known in the U.S. for having walked on a wire between the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York, in 1974. He reads excerpts of his book, "My High Wire Walk" (click here for the MP3 file) on this online memorial containing a lot of documents and pictures about this exploit.

Comments board is back! Rock on! Now I get to do more tangled English to French translations of "Planet of the Apes" movie titles in a public place.

How bout a shirt that says "No to selling arms to Iraqi insurgents."

Nah. Too real to be French.

Dude, I told you that you would be sad once these comments were working again.

How about a shirt that says, "People who wait 11 days for a blog's comments to become active again should probably kill themselves"?

Anyway, I am sad your father toured the USA West Coast so recently and did not come to see us in Reno. I have many questions for him. All of those questions regard southern France (Gaul) circa 400 AD. And maybe 1100 AD. Knowing your father, I know he will have all these answers.

The only tee-shirt you want is a Tony Pierce "I feel so much safer" T-shirt.

Or if you're Turkish:

"We joined the EU and all we got was this lousy France."

Hilarious, French toast

Funnier still is when the Turks join the EU and start pushing their weight around in France.

This century will be the dawn of what will be called "non violent-violent expansionism."
A kind of war where the enemy fights for postition politically and economically within the enemy state simply by changing the laws, then moving in in hoards.

People who complain about the French, and the French complaining back are wasting their time, since, if the Turks have their way, France will cease to exist, making the whole "french suck" arguement irrelevant.

FT, you should definitely write comedy.

Posted by: MattWelch.com info at September 25, 2004 05:47 PM

You think so, Matt?

Okay, let me try my new job:


Q: What do you call France after Turkey
is admitted into the EU?

A: Hungary

Posted by: FrenchToast at September 25, 2004 06:57 PM

I wish, FT! Hungary is my favourite country in the world. I lived there for 3 years, FT, and loved it.
Shall I recommend Hungarian Turkish baths (a nice heritage from the Ottoman invasion) to dip in, relax and exercize your rare Gallic insight? It will flow even more easily when you're surrounded by naked men.

Posted by: Emmanuelle at September 25, 2004 07:27 PM

Emmanuelle, by missing the point, you're proving that simply because you lived in a country for 3 years doesn't mean you understand the country.

To know what Hungary is, you must know what it was:

Unlike yourself, some people DO understand the implications of turning into Hungary:

I'll leave the Turkish baths to the French, for obvious reasons.
