Happy Bastille Day!
It's July 14 in Paris now.

What are you doing for the cause of liberty?

6. Yay!
And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys


Oh... sorry... I thought this was a Rush thread... my bad!

Going to have some French "fries" with our supper, does that count? :D

Unfortunately it's too hot and humid this time of year to go baking a tourtiere (with no air conditioning in our apartment)...
