First you have the English and their castles
Then a quote but with screwed up source 'Monty Haul'
Which is corrected to be 'Monty Python'
Which once did an episode in German for the 'Lumber Jack Song'
Tegel Manor in found in the town of Tegel in North West Berlin, Germany

the name of the London station into which the Eurostar cross-channel train arrives from Paris is Waterloo.  I think that is just a little passive-aggressive on our part - perhaps by way of rapprochment we could have renamed it (perhaps after a battle where we did not beat Napoleon  

To the netherworld with the Frogs! You could also have called it any other horrendous French defeat (Geez, there were so many) and they would still be too stuck on themselves to take offense, and too dumb to know it had been given. Any country that has Gov't officials working to keep the language "pure" has their resources allocated all wrong. Better they should spend them on a military that won't fold like a house of cards at first challenge. We "Yanks" have bailed the French out of their own ineptitude twice in the last century, and they still think of us as something that smells bad or something. This from a country that has a hard time with the concept of personal hygiene. Their mothers WERE all hamsters.

Now that one's easier...

Every once in a while, I get on a frog-squashing rant. I will not be graduating too many Francophiles, I'm thinking.

I do have one good friend who has the misfortune to be French, but I don't hold it against him. It's not like we can pick our parents. If we could, we'd all be born near the beach to rich parents and all have ponies.

That first part made me laugh.  What is it about historians and their absolute hatred of the French?  It's scary. I know two high school teachers who teach history and they are inveterate French bashers )both during and out of class).  My youngest brother is one of the smartest people I know, and well versed in history (that was his major and masters in college, his greatest feat is reading 22 books about WWII one summer so he could take a college course on WWII and stump the Professor), and he's a regular contributor to the website Fuckfrance.com.  I admit to being more of the eye-rolling type than hating type when something goofy happens there.  My newest favorite is that they are spending millions of taxpayer dollars to recreate a French Google with less of an "American" slant than the regular Google....instead of just using Google as is...which everyone all over the world (except the French) has no problem using....?  Huh?
  Let it be known one of my best friends growing up was half-French (Mother french, Father Polish) so I heard most of the good french-bashing stuff through the years from his parents!

Badmike--thanks for the tip on fuckfrance.com. I LOVE IT!

As to history teachers hating France: it's because we know we saved their sorry, smelly butts twice last century and they are an ungrateful bunch of douchebags...

Toothpaste! No, that's not it ...

Sunglasses! No, wait ... that's not right.

I've got it: your convention badge! Every year, someone forgets their badge ...

Goodman sold out of the GenCon Exclusives the 1st day. Last year they didn't even sell out at GenCon. Man they went fast.
