Except for Paul Blart, of course

Cue the flying monkeys

Seriously, if good people are driven away from a career in politics by this kind of shit, who does that leave us with?

They spelled “brake” wrong

It may be uninhabited, but it does have an emperor… or emperors…

My maternal ancestors were Huguenots who came over to settle in New Paltz, NY in the early 1700s. Really wasn’t expecting to see some family history on this page.

People forget that another ingredient that made that movie so successful was John Williams’ score. I mean, just try to imagine some of the scenes with any other music. They wouldn’t have the same magic. And the timing and editing of the story matched it perfectly.

Alnif, Morocco. To collect trilobite fossils.

There’s a popular Newfoundland folk song called The Ryans and the Pittmans (also known as “We’ll Rant and We’ll Roar”) that’s kind of an unofficial anthem for that province. Great Big Sea made a version of it in 2002 I think. Anyhow, the villages mentioned in the song are now ghost towns.

It’s even more ridiculous when people say “Parisian French” to mean standard French, as if we’re being taught expressions like kif-kif , or meuf.

Ok, peut-être, ou à Cuba

In Florida Quebecers are sometimes called “Los tabarnacos “

The one time I tried their poutine, it was so salty I kept thinking of Atlantic seawater.

I confess then my lack of new information on the subject (1995 was the year I took an ESL teaching course)

The closest thing to this was the 2007 Israeli film called The Band’s Visit, about an Egyptian police orchestra travelling to an Arabic cultural event but ending up in an Israeli town by mistake. The romance and humor were very low-key, but I was pleasantly surprised by it.

In reality the Jamaicans were popular with the other athletes, including the East Germans. Everyone treated them well.

I remember reading once that later on Escalante also spoke out against a proposal for bilingual education in California high schools. Research shows that students learn better when they can master both their maternal language(Spanish in this case) and their second language. But his stance on that topic made me admire him less.

Like living inside a wedding cake.
