BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243

[Peelee]

But why would we want to when we can just have another crack at the French?

Becuase historically England hasnt exactly fared well against France.

I only remember France ever conquering England the one time though.

[Peelee]

Engkand not faring well isn't the same as France faring well. Both could come off pretty badly for all of it. For example, we have two countries that warred constantly despite neither gaining any real territorial hold in the others' land, despite even having England having French monarchs and France having English monarchs and both having the same monarchs*. Its more like two people having a very ineffective slap fight - threats of "well we'll just go back to raid France again!" cue eye rolls.

Personally I've found dumping on the French (or really any country) has lost it's taste over the years, so suffice to say I don't really Get It, but y'all enjoy yourselves.

(that's not to say there aren't things worth prodding at with a sharp stick, just that there should be a purpose beyond the poking.)

Its like dumping on Quebec if you arent from there, or dumping on the Rest Of Canada if you are from there. Its just a thing you do.

I typically dont dump on the French unless its in relation to England, or silly Frenchitudes (read: them trying to purify their super-Frenchy Frenchness, eg the Académie Française). Basically stuff the French themselves are also likely to dump on, or at least can't really refute.

In every country, they make fun of city. In U.S. you make fun of Cleveland. In Russia, we make fun of Cleveland.

The only things worth kicking Quebec about is stuff I can't legally say on the forum. Them being weird Not-Frenches who non-the-less wish to embrace everything Francophone is silly but not really insult worthy, imho.

Thus my comment about the poking stick and when it should be employed, yeah.

...There's a Cleveland in Florida{?}

EDIT: There actually is.

[HalfTangible]

There are a LOT of cities in the US named after places elsewhere in the world.

Including other places in the US. >.>

I'll make fun of France all day. But I ain't gonna take it seriously.

It's hard to take the surrender monkey meme seriously after learning about Verdun.

[Peelee]

And here i thought it was hard to take the surrender monkey meme seriously after learning about WWII.

[Form]

Of course they do. They're called the Dutch.

Hahahaha..... no.

Finally got a chance to wear my new wig and horns for a stream!

Next up: Ears =3

Sweet. I don't even see the headband keeping the horns in place. If I hadn't seen the earlier image of the horns I wouldn't know it was there.

[Peelee]

Hahahaha..... no.

The fact that i made that joke because the Dutch are notorious for being direct to the point some may find them downright rude, and you replied so succinctly, just proves my point.

[Fyraltari]

France having English monarchs

That didn't happen, though.

[Peelee]

That didn't happen, though.

AND HE WAS A BABY! I love how the more specific the story gets, the more insane it is. Ah, history.

[Keltest]

That didn't happen, though.

I seem to recall a pretty significant stretch of time in which the king of England controlled most of France on the basis of claiming to be king.

[Fyraltari]

Controlled about one third, with another third controlled by the king of France and the last third an independant state in all but name.

I think the rulership of France defaulted to the English when an Englishman ate the mummified heart of King Luis XIV.

That's how it works, right? You eat the King and now you're the new King?

I don't think thats how it's set up, but i also dont think it would be disputed if it happened.

I mean, if you want to be formal about it, you're supposed to beat him to death with the oriflamme first.

[Batcathat]

I would certainly be more in favor of monarchism if it had cannibalism and duels to the death. Most modern royals are a little too much bread and not enough circuses for my taste, to use a rather questionably applied metaphor.

You guys are getting bread?

[Fyraltari]

You guys are getting bread?

You guys have royals?

[HalfTangible]

And here i thought it was hard to take the surrender monkey meme seriously after learning about WWII.

"Longest continuous battle in human history" is hard to top.

[Peelee]

You guys have royals?

Yeah, but we just call them "billionaires" instead.

[Rater202]

You guys have royals?

No, pay attention. We ate them because they weren't giving us any bread.

[Fyraltari]

"Longest continuous battle in human history" is hard to top.

I'd rather we don't. One hundred years later and we're still digging up corpses.

Yeah, but we just call them "billionaires" instead.

Oh, we have those too! Say...

No, pay attention. We ate them because they weren't giving us any bread.

... Anybody else feeling hungry?

[Peelee]

No, pay attention. We ate them because they weren't giving us any bread.

If only that were true.

... Anybody else feeling hungry?

It is lunchtime...

[HalfTangible]

You know that's not what I meant

And I just had Red Robin, so no.

[Metastachydium]

It's hard to take the surrender monkey meme seriously after learning about Verdun.

There's a great many things Verdun, trench warfare, WW1 in general and its fallout, likewise in general, evokes from me. Respect is not among them. I'll leave it at that.

... Anybody else feeling hungry?

Well, eating the dead is kind of a plant thing, ultimately…

[Form]

You guys are getting bread?

Just eat cake instead!
