Re: Happy Bastille Day

Wlady: Hauteur is ok in someone who can back it up. Like The Babe said, it ain't bragging if you can do it. Other than make cheese and wines (and you need to rethink your defense of French wine which, for the second time in as many tries, was soundly thrashed by American wines judged by Brits and French in a blind tasting) just what do they do that makes them worth putting up with their unsupportable arrogance? Hmmm?
