Thus Spake The Palinode
Thursday, September 18, 2008 Schmutzie: Let's open a restaurant and make soups with cheezy names like "Jamaican Me Crazy".
Palinode: Yes, and then we could make the less spicy version called "Jamaican Me Okay, I'm Fine Again".
Palinode: This duvet cover is less orange and more of a tangelo colour.
Schmutzie: Gay much?
Palinode: You would never say that to Hervé Villechaize.
Schmutzie: You mean that guy who played Tattoo on "Fantasy Island"? Why wouldn't I?
Palinode: He committed suicide. That would be insensitive.
Schmutzie: Did you know that instead of "cock-a-doodle-doo", roosters say "cocorico" in French?
Palinode: Yes, I did. Did I ever tell about that French dog I talked to?
Schmutzie: No.
Palinode: I said "You were barking", and he said "Non, je suis française. Je dit 'ouah ouah'."

Ah, The Palinode. Exactly as I imagine him.
I like him :)
Herve Villechaize shot himself. The link to the IMDB site describes the poor man's demise.

Jen: Thank you for pointing out the error in our conversation. I am really sad to hear that the end of Villechaize's life was so sad. He was one of my favourite television characters when I was a kid.
Bwahahahaha! That french dog bit was HILARIOUS!
I laughed out loud.
Tattoo died? Oh my.
And Spanish chickens? They say, "Piyo, piyo, piyo."
Actually, yes, French dogs are refined: they do not bark...
I love that animals make different sounds in French. I went bowling with the staff from school last year, and one of our "fun" bowling frames asked us to quack like a duck while bowling. A teacher that was originally from Quebec and a proud Francophone walked down the alley proclaiming "coin coin coin" (pronounced quwain)
And Ukrainian dogs say, "How how!.
Ukrainian chickens also say, "Cocorico". What a relief that must be for the Ukrainian chickens wanting to move to France.
I didn't know Palinode got new glasses. They suit him!
You. That Man. Just sort of perfect really.
You guys are crazy. Just like Lucky and Ricy!
Now there's a picture that belongs in the Collection of Spectacles.
