French join fight!View MessagesThey're in! “I just heard on NPR that French protesters attacked a Paris McDonald's last night, breaking windows and throwing smoke bombs. (No word of the fate of Ronald McDonald yet)” 7:56:44 AM 3/21/03 “Any French casualties?” 7:59:11 AM 3/21/03 “Just some fries.” 8:00:33 AM 3/21/03 “Agggggg, I see the problem now. They consider a Big Mac to be a Weapon of Mass Destruction, but Anthrax is a condiment.” 8:01:20 AM 3/21/03 “No, the Big Mac is a weapon of "Big Ass Construction"!” 8:02:30 AM 3/21/03 “HAHAHA Yes it is.” 8:04:34 AM 3/21/03 “Let them eat cake!” 8:09:38 AM 3/21/03 “ ” 8:29:03 AM 3/21/03 “Ugh, that's hard to read.” 8:41:02 AM 3/21/03 oh brother... “would someone please run that dernd squirrel over. and the FRENCH JOINT has been passed??? heck...pass it over here. ohhhhhh....now I got it.” 9:04:23 AM 3/21/03 “I just heard that some people witnessed Ronald being wheeled out on a kerney(?), oxygen mask afixed. Let's hope he's okay.” 9:23:54 AM 3/21/03 “guerney?” 9:27:29 AM 3/21/03 “Gurney!” 9:30:24 AM 3/21/03 “Giovanni” 9:31:04 AM 3/21/03 “Now our French allies refuse to expel Iraqi diplomats, who's regime has denied UN sanctions and we are now finding out have weapons of mass destruction, have banned scud missiles, and are burning their oil fields (which they told us they would not do). Yet France continues to support this regime and not our efforts. Furthermore, I heard (this is second hand) that at some sporting event, French citizens were booing the United States. Last straw up. France is now considered an enemy in my book. I'll bash as I please, call me a bigot if you will, but their policy, a percentage of their citizens and total lack of support in every way for a suppoosed ally is unconscionable. Screw France, don't buy their products, and pay no attention to the folks in this country that think it's OK that France does these things. Man I'm pissed!” 9:33:26 AM 3/21/03 “ ”9:37:16 AM 3/21/03 “¢ ¨ ® º À £ © µ Æ Ã ¿ ã Ø Û :Þ” 9:40:03 AM 3/21/03 “...and to add insult to injury Notre Dame and Marquette both won in the first round brackets!” 9:49:53 AM 3/21/03 Just in off the OUI wire.... “....French Chefs are now joining coalition forces in Iraq! Their plan is to cripple the enemy by tossing croissants at them!” 10:12:01 AM 3/21/03 “At least BYU lost in the first round. I alomost thought they were going to pull ou the upset.” 10:14:53 AM 3/21/03 “"Kerney" is a clamp used for splicing large electrical cables. ...or is it "gerney"? I'll call Mayer Electrical Supply - they'll know. I was someday going to fly to London, travel by rail to Paris and on to the Alps. I think I'll now hit the Alps via Italia...” 10:20:04 AM 3/21/03 “I fired ten scuds at Kleetin's post ,but they all missed.” 10:11:11 PM 3/21/03 “I thought the Montreal Canadiens were a Canadian hockey team (hence the name) not french. And the french-Canadians are NOT usually recognized for respecting others- especially if you don't have the same language & culture as them. In fact, the rest of Canada thinks some of them should relocate to france. But please don't group all of us as American-booing enemies. That incident was just plain disrespectful.” 11:03:31 PM 3/21/03 “The booing at the American National Anthem was done by ignorant folks...most of the people watching the hockey game, between the N.Y Islanders and the Canadiens would be French Canadians...therefore we can conclude that most of the ignorant people would be the French. My, what a coincidence...the French of Quebec stands besides France on the issue of the Iraq War.” 1:23:24 AM 3/22/03 They Killed Ronald “but Jacques in le Box lives” 3:07:10 AM 3/22/03 “'you gotta love da Frenchies; only they could come up with a field expedient bench rest that looks like a still shot from "Brokeback Mountain". ![]() http://www.blackfive.net/main/2006/07/brokeback_frenc.html” 8:07:25 AM 8/14/06 “That’s hilarious! Caption: “Huh, I’m used to having my buddy shoot ON my back, not FROM my back.” To break all stereotypes though the French can fight. They have some of the best anti-terror units in the world who know how to scrap.” 8:20:06 AM 8/14/06 “Looks like British fatigues to me.” 8:21:31 AM 8/14/06 “If like you say these guys can scrap We need more of them than that bigoted crap” 8:27:17 AM 8/14/06 ““If like you say these guys can scrap We need more of them than that bigoted crap” ![]() "ENGLISH motherfukcer! Do you speak it!?"” 8:51:01 AM 8/14/06 “HPM, if you read the site where that pic came from (which you probably did :) ) someone there said the same thing, also that the sniper rifle looked like a British weapon. Of course, its much more fun to make fun of the french. One guy said they use that position because it doubles as a flagpole stand for the surrender flag.” 8:55:22 AM 8/14/06 “Can't be the French...he is shooting the weapon. May be the Belgians...they are only slightly wussier than the French” 9:20:11 AM 8/14/06 “The French do very well against unarmed ships. Just ask Green Peace!!! LOL” 9:38:17 AM 8/14/06 “LOL..that was the French Special Forces...different group (LOL) what is it GSG9” 10:03:56 AM 8/14/06 “I have no idea about French fatigues or weapons (other than their brilliant choice to use air cooled machine guns in the North African Deserts), I just thought they looked like British gear. Way back when I played competitive paintball our team wore british fatigues or tiger stripe depending on the tournament we were in. If your team wears foriegn gear it's much easier to tell friend from foe when everyone else gets their gear from the 'ol army surplus store.” 10:04:15 AM 8/14/06 “BTW- The "bench" looked pissed off. Dammit! That bastards got a camera!!!!!” 10:05:42 AM 8/14/06 “They used to do the same thing back in the days of smooth bore cannons and still use the same rituals. The "bench" man is grimacing because he is hoping the gunner with the rammer doesn't miss the barrel in his haste to swab out the barrel.” 10:49:59 AM 8/14/06 “Sometimes it's better to just take a bullet.” 10:56:54 AM 8/14/06 “My mistake I thought it english I spoke Try out a dicktionary you bloody bloke.” 11:16:37 AM 8/14/06 “The camo doesn't look French to me and scrolling down in the discussion on the Blackfive site it looks like they've agreed the camo is actually British DPM.” 11:19:57 AM 8/14/06 “Of course it's the French who are saving our ass in Lebanon. We (and the Israelis) started a war that we didn't want to commit troops to and couldn't finish. The result: Hezbollah was shooting rockets until the last day. They have more popular support than before. The image of Israel as an indestructable military force is gone. And the French - of all nations - get a foothold in a strategically important part of the world. But thank God for the French. They gave us a face-saving way out of this.” 11:29:23 AM 8/14/06 “reformed, do you ever think of anything else. This is a joke thread why are you so militant.” 11:50:57 AM 8/14/06 “Sorry. I'm pissed.” 11:55:15 AM 8/14/06 ““My mistake I thought it english I spoke Try out a dicktionary you bloody bloke.” Geesh, it's like trying to converse with a retarded spider monkey.” 1:16:02 PM 8/14/06 “Dictionary?? Broke??? Hee Hee Hee........” 1:28:24 PM 8/14/06 Uuuuh ... “Just by the berets they're neither French nor Belgian - maybe Brits. BTW, he's obviously checking something out (bolt withdrawn), not aiming.” 1:15:06 PM 8/15/06 “dude, stop trying to spoil the fun.” 1:17:19 PM 8/15/06 “as Ped said, thats brit DPM camo, the rifle is the .338cal more than likely, some Canadian units use that rifle, the US is adopting it in limited use.” 4:41:17 PM 8/15/06 “actually, the probability that they are brits and that its a brit rifle was mentioned almost in the very beginning.” 6:49:40 PM 8/15/06 “Ya know what? On second thought those actually look like they may be Brits and not Frogs.” 6:52:17 PM 8/15/06
