French AND Funny
I studied French in highschool as if I were going to be a French major. Back then, I expected to spend a lot of time in West Africa, like my uncle. Plus, I was pretty good in French.
This past week, for the first time in my life, I'm actually getting paid for understanding French. I may be particularly attuned to French syntax and logical style, but I find it a great deal more straightforward and expressive language than German. You see this week and last I've been a test engineer debugging a French version of, well I don't want to go there right now.
That's not the reason I'm writing this entry. It's this guy. That's the funniest, most wholesome comedy I've seen since The Blue Man Group.

That was great. Was the background written in Icelandic? A couple of English words spoken sounded like an American accent. Why was he speaking French? Where was he performing?
He projected just the right combination of seriousness and foolishness. It was fun to watch.
We've been watching some of the old TV shows from the early years and they are actually quite funny even if a bit too corny at times.
The current lineups would have been unimaginable even five years ago. When did we allow our culture to deteriorate into vulgarity bordering on the pornographic?
I'm afraid we'll go so far, that censuring will be brought back, something I wouldn't like at all.

Ed Sullivan would be so proud.
