Bon Jour Paris: The Wild Wild East Goes West IV

Hello Parisians. The rest of the trailer trash who usually reside here can just go get yourself a cold Budweiser and sit this one out. "Paris is just way too cool and sophisticated for you", he said whilst sipping his espresso and lighting yet another Gauloise from the crumpled pack in his Levis front pocket.

Man, get rid of the American's, the Brits, The Aussies and most of Canada and this is a really cool world. Why can't the rest of the world be as hip and urbane as old gay Paris? Yet, another secret the French won't tell. Time here has been reasonably luxurious. With nothing but good food and nice weather to tide us through the days, I've been cooking up a storm, gaining weight and working out. Yes, my blog post time has been cut a bit but I promise to pick back up when I stop enjoying being a real human and taking days in the park meeting real new friends as opposed to just sitting on Facebook and collecting virtual ones.

The purpose of this post I hope, is to meet a few of the Parisian readers who frequent the Wild Wild East Dailies. For the better part of a year and a half I've been dutifully posting here and over that time acquired a significant number of French readers. The chart on the above right puts France in the number 3 position as of today. And we wonder, what is it you suave Parisians love about me? Is is my no nonsense, take-no-prisoners American savoi fare? Is it the fact that you've finally realized that a six pack of 99 cent Shiner beer and a Marlboro beats the hell out of a 1.25 euro bottle of French table wine and a baguette (at least on price anyway)? Or could it be that I'm just an obnoxious redneck from New York who's busy poluting your fair city and you'd like to see me run out of town on a rail as soon as possible - and would be willing to to buy me said cheap French table wine to get the job done?

Whatever.

I'll be in town for a couple of more weeks and would love to do a meetup. Bon jour!
