How nice of you to stop by my blog (which is very far from the usual stuff you read: marketing!)!... Indeed, a good laugh is the best medicine I know. Therefore anytime you need one, you'll be sure to find it here! ;-) ... I try my best to keep things not too serious in spite of the topics. Take care of that nasty cold of yours, so you can be back on your feet soon!... P.S. Thanks for the compliment, I know you mean it (otherwise you wouldn't say anything!)... marti… How nice of you to stop by my blog (which is very far from the usual stuff you read: marketing!)!… Indeed, a good laugh is the best medicine I know.

A laugh is much more fun than cough syrup, merci. Us Anglos should stick to English and drinking tea. ;-) P.S. I love how you're using your blog like a conversation!!!

Benoit Brière est l'un de nos meilleurs comédiens... longtemps il a été associé à Bell Canada (la compagnie nationale de services téléphoniques)... dans les pubs de Bell, il jouait différents rôles (un père, un ado, un grand-père, une femme, etc.)... il était absolument époustouflant! Quant à l'homme qui pose sur la photo devant le drapeau américain, c'est notre Premier Ministre en personne (Stephen Harper)... on l'accuse souvent d'être à la remorque des États-Unis et de téter Bush (voilà l'humour derrière ce cliché)... :) À bientôt!

In Montréal, I had this student whose daughter was in French grade school... she was 8 at the time... she had to read a story and it was about a seal. He would be in the living room and she would be reading out loud in the kitchen and here how it went: "Il y avait un phoque <strong>NOT</strong> ours dad, <strong>THEIRS</strong> sur une banquise et il était triste. Un jour le phoque <strong>NOT</strong> ours dad, <strong>THEIRS</strong>... and so on..." Apparently it was very funny because she was saying it with the same voice debit, as if she were reading! I do understand why you do avoid the word though! ;-) I have an anecdote for you Diane… In Montréal, I had this student whose daughter was in French grade school… she was 8 at the time… she had to read a story and it was about a seal.

Stéphane Rousseau est connu en France mais pas Benoît Brière. Il y a les portraits d'un homme et d'une femme derrière le jury. L'homme pose devant le drapeau des États-Unis (je suppose qu'il s'agit d'humour). Qui est-il ? Très drôle, Lyne ! Stéphane Rousseau est connu en France mais pas Benoît Brière.
