'Morning everybudi,

<<
 Anywho, the mob has had control of Louisiana and has corrupted this
state for around 150 years or so
>>

"mob", in French is the short for "mobylette", which means "light
motorbike/moped"
What's wrong with the moped ?! ;op
Do you mean that everyone is using such way of transport overthere ? I just can
not believe it ...

http://www.qsl.net/f5pbl/images/3w/rue4_s.jpg . BTW, the place shown on these
pics is also corrupted by both mob and mobs ..

<<
So, is Louisiana a banana republic, controlled by the mob and political
corruption?

Corsica, mon Fr�re, tu oublies Corsica ... la Corse, French dept No 20 by the
list, more exactly 2A (Corse du Sud) and 2B (Haute-Corse).

<<
Not only that, but the women down here are MEGA-FRICKING BEAUTIFUL!
>>

Are some of them really drinking OJ and only OJ ???...  (mixed with water is
accepted if the YL is really beautiful, otherwhise only pure OJ authorized).

And yes, there are "non French areas" in Paris, and not only in Paris BTW ...

<<
Outside on the entrance to the club, they had a brown
paper bag. If a persons' skin color was darker than that bag, then they didn't
get
into the bar!

Here it would be "if a persons' skin color was LIGHTER than ..."

Randall, you are right abt Le P�re Lachaise, yes a lot of well-known people are
burried there. There is also, among other ones, L�on Rivail (aka Allan Kardec)
the so-called "father of modern spiritualism". His grave is a "WW pilgrim
checkpoint" and it is said that "strange things" occur there from time to time.
Abt Claude Monet, honnestly I do not know if he is burried at P�re Lachaise or
Montparnasse ... and BTW up to now I have visited nor one neither the other of
these 2 cemeteries. 1st "choice" will be P�re Lachaise, "some day in the future"
(but when still alive I mean !!)

Abt my next visit to Louisiana, do not worry ... you have plenty of time to
train your Parisian French ;o) I am affraid you will have the opportunity to
come back from all your business trips b4 I can even think of collecting some
T-shirts for any holidays on my side.

Bon dimanche � tous !

72!
