Discovering the truth about Parisians... one humiliating story at a time. This blog is a caricature and I am the self-appointed queen of exaggerationland. The highly sensitive, sarcastically-challenged, emotionally-constipated and humorless should jump ship immediately.

Dear Fellow Waiters...

*** Warning: Impressively harmless situation invokes massive freak out below. Read AYOR. ***

Dear fellow waiters,

Why can't you learn how to form a GOD DAMN LINE???

I know you know what I'm talking about, so wipe that confused/annoyed look off your faces. This is more than a problem,Read full post »
I don't care how much of a social butterfly you may be, everyone needs alone time. In Paris, there are endless blogs about where to go and what to do... and this is no exception. Well.. almost. In stead of proposing where to go to have drinks, or dinner, or pre-dinner… Read full post »
Sheeee's Baaaaack.

Consequently, so am I. I knew it was only a matter of time before she opened her pretentious drivel-prone claptrap about the rumors of her alleged infidelity.

What is Mme. Sarkozy babbling about now? Same ole, same ole...she's become the French Bill Clinton. But it… Read full post »
A wise man once said: "People who say they're happy make my ass twitch." (Two points if you can tell me who.)

Well, if you're not twitching yet, be prepared for your glutes to spaz until they can't spaz no more.

No, it's not a typo. They say "April Fish Day" here. Yeah, I know, (*eye rolls*), try and figure that one out. Instead of pranking people in imaginative ways, like covering their car with tampons painted in red nail polish, and then dousing said vehicle with actual douche (my high school… Read full post »

Dear Louisville Stranger...

Google Analytics is my friend. Oh, yes, I spy on you fellow readers.  I want to know where you are from, if you've already visited, how many times, what you read, what time you read it, if you like peanut butter, your favorite color, if you clean up your dog's logs… Read full post »

Carla Carla Carla part III

I must really be the very LAST person on the planet to not give a shit about Carla. My eyes are rolling so far back inside my head that I can in fact see my brain, losing heap upon heap of cells, with every bit of superfluous, pointless information I hear/… Read full post »

Night Run to Belgium

One of my favorite things about living here is that I can wake up one Friday morning, like last week, and say to myself, "I'm going to Belgium in 24hours", just because. In Wisconsin that phrase would substitute another country with some mundane task like... mowing... or milking cows. At best,… Read full post »
March 24th 2010 was a landmark day in history. It was INTERNATIONAL PROCRASTINATION DAY!!!

Train of (stupid) Thought(lessness)

You're not going to believe this. It's happened AGAIN! Seriously!! Another train incident. Not long ago I informed you, loyal readers, about the (ppssst RACIST) announcement made to warn passengers about Romanians.

Well, folks. They're at it again. Only this time, the "internal error" involved a mass… Read full post »
Online dating has lost its stigma. It's joined the ranks of other common-place pseudo-dating, like missed connections, personal ads, and dating services, as another way to calculate your soul mate before realizing that a profile does not determine compatibility. We are humans, not puzzle pieces. Just… Read full post »

Life is sweet...

So what's your poison? Cake? Muffins? Giant bowl of butter? Anyone who knows me is familiar with my pathetic weakness for cookies. A friend used to offer me a cookie, and of course, I'd refuse on the grounds that it is an EVIL food and made of pure fat and sugar… Read full post »
The French newspaper, Figaro, in conjunction with the "No Fucking Shit", "Figure That Out All By Yourself, Now Did You?" and "Captain Obvious" associations, has astutely declared that Paris is the most expensive place to live in the known universe.

Thanks for that amazing piece of investigative jour…

I've been celebrating St. Patrick's Day since high school. It's the day one of my closest and oldest friends freed herself from her mother's oppressive body, and she now owns a multitude of useless gifts covered in shamrocks and leprechauns to mark the occasion. My mother in law also shares this/… Read full post »
You know that saying, a picture says a thousand words? Can you please tell this one to put on a muzzel, 'cuz I just ate breakfast.

Thank you Huffington Post, for yet again reminding me that other cultures have WEIRD traditions, and that France is not the worst of them.

CARLA, CARLA, CARLA!!!

She's fucking at it a-gain. No sooner did I post about how she destroyed my nap last weekend, but now she's in the press for an alleged cheating scandal.

Fashion (victim) Week - Paris 2010

It's that time of year again. The season that makes my tiny, style-free head A-SPLOAD.
It's Fashion Week!! Let the priceless auctioning of skinny girl's dignity, BEGIN!

The fucking BALLS.

What is your gramma up to tonight? Letting the dog out? Ironing boxers? Reading the bible, or some other end-times novel of choice? On a crazy night, maybe she'll wait until her husband is snoring like a chainsaw at 5:45pm after a lovely meatloaf, and, GHASP, sneak a little Wheel of/… Read full post »
We Americans have a bizarre sense of humor. In no other country have I ever seen so much laughter produced from a single asshole.

Just HIT IT, DAMMIT!!!

Can someone please explain to me why the French don't know how to high five?

What is so hard about this concept? Someone sticks their hand up in the air, and you hit it. Not rocket science.

How could this tradition, taught to every American child by the age of two, have passed… Read full post »
Romania you say? Never been. Nothing against. Oh, except they are ALL a bunch of SCHEMING, CONNIVING THIEVES!!!

According to the French state railroad, that is.

Carla Bruni Fucked Up My Nap.

Carla's lil'man.I'm in hiding this afternoon. Last night was my second annual VAGTAIL, cocktail sans Hommes. The twenty-ten addition overflowed with apple-lime-tini drinks complete with flashing ice cubes, and franco-anglo-relations in all their galoriousness. Meaning, I migrated from the french circle to th… Read full post »

Dear London Taxi Drivers,

I love your country. It's full of beauty, and charm, and everyone has been so lovely. I'm enchanted by your compatriot's accents and feel like saying "Jolly Good Man!!" and "Cheers!", and hanging out on the queen's doorstep making faces at guards who hate me for my unoriginality.

I remember last year's Valentine's experience in Paris and if history is any indicator, I'm in for a treat. Last time went to a lovely restaurant near the Champs, the evening promised to be memorable as we clinked champagne flutes. It was unforgettable, just not in the way I expected.
