ha ha yeah, i've always wanted to visit your protocountry-- i have a couple of belgian friends (one french one flemish) that used to quarrel about the cultural superiority of each other's faction-- eventually they broke up. do they use septante & nonante? cuz i always found the quatre-vingt a bit stupid, especially post-metric-system.
surrender monkeys? it took the king all of 18 days to spread his legs for hitler. that's only a bit less than it took france, but eh!
let's discuss crêpes instead
