Why would anyone french a bear, whether grizzly, brown, polar, clay or whatever?
French a bare what?
Lol. When I first married my wife, we often hosted wine tasting dinners for other wine geeks. Those snooty bastards want GOURMET. I am a very capable cook, and the Mrs. and I would take turns leading the kitchen. They were EPIC battles of gastronomic ridiculousness. She would make masterpieces of regular food. I cheated, I'd shop the high end markets for the best stuff. She used to give me hell about that "it's EASY being a great chef, when you start with GREAT ingredients".
Anyway, she bought and studied The Art of French Cooking, and a bunch of other classic amazing cookbooks. She has WAY surpassed me now, and does ALL the cooking. Out of respect, I always cleared away her dishes and mine and put them in the dishwasher, and throw in on the cleanup. The daughter just throws her dirty stuff in the sink. I got tired of being Bad Cop and giving her hell for it, and the Mrs. is always Good Cop. Daughter wouldn't mend her ways, Mrs. wouldn't support my efforts to change her. So now, I get up and put my dirty shit in the sink and go on about my day. It doesn't take a 4x4 across the head for me to get the idea.
I just try to pitch in where needed if I go to someone's house. I live alone so I cook AND clean. lol
But what if you go to someone's house, ask what you can do to help, and are told "nothing"?

Shoulder, neck and back massage. It is ALWAYS needed, appreciated, and keeps your fingers out of nasty uncooked food.
Sorry. I just wanted you to relax and have fun.But what if you go to someone's house, ask what you can do to help, and are told "nothing"?
YEAH! THAT'S THE TICKET!
Doh! I'm such a doofus, why didn't I think of that?
I'm just teasing you Sweetiefalaya.Sorry. I just wanted you to relax and have fun.
Dood, I see you have well wandered down the path of enjoying getting thyself in the deepest of Shite.. I am down. I LOVE getting to the razors edge of being tolerated. But the art, the REAL fun, is knowing how to again EXTRACT yourself from said Shite, quickly and cleanly. All while exuding an essence of the most pleasurable aroma..

Sometimes (OK, usually) I'm not as graceful about getting out of the pile as you are, though I do always manage to get out. You seem to have mastered it though.
well yeah, but truth be told, I've slid over that edge plenty enough times to earn a little competence. Pulling yourself back up OVER it teaches a lot. Did I ever tell you about.. ah, nebbemind. Hahaha...
I'm nuttier than a fruit cake, and probably a poor influence..

You are the furthest thing from a doofus my love. You are HOT! Plus, it probably isn't such a good idea to give a massage to someone making a dark roux. lol
OMG I have a cousin named Hillius! And I come from a long line of "Pull my finger" peeps. lol
Yea, my mom used to tell me about non-Cajuns trying to pronounce it. Trust me, I have a lot more strange names I my family tree than Klebert. lol
Yep, besides, you were putting music on at the time...............heheheheheWell thanks sweetie! So are you.
Probably right about the roux.
Should I tell them it was Disco? hehehe

Ok, it's New Orleans. So, they don't pronounce things correctly. This is how they say it:
Chop - uh - tool - us
LMAO!!!!! We posted at the same time!
Hey, who you callin' a French redneck anywho? You ever heard about the Gris Gris?
I would think that is exactly how a frenchman would say it. What I don't get is, why the T at all if it ISN'T greek...
LMAO!!!!! We posted at the same time!

I really don't know where the origin comes from. Just know that's how we all pronounce it.

Hahaha.... I was like.. Jeffrey Domer? Then it dawned on me. I'd like to have you for dinner, for that one.
My mother's name was Olga. They named her after a Russian Olga Spessivtseva. She hated her name because of the sound. Denise Pierette is a lovely name.
I'd have to agree with you on the Heinz. I know a Heinz from Germany and he is an ass.
