The French
There's always things going on with the French. Quite often I've heard them referred to as "frogs." Does anyone know where that one comes from? Frogs (the amphibians) don't know anything about white flags, cheese, wine (and whine), nor surrendering...
But Mike's America has a few things to say. It started with the moronic complaining about Subway's advertising campaign. Come on, "France and Chicken?" That's some marketing genius, if you ask me.
When complaints were received, Mike continued with "Let them Eat Cake," where the silly French defending continued. Finally, there was The French and Soap. Oh, this IS getting ugly...
Feel free to join in!

This sucks. The only thing more spineless than a Frenchman is someone who surrenders to the French. I'll not be eating at Subway again until they BRING BACK the ad campaign.
Let them eat cake indeed!

I like it!
It's time to boycott Subway until they DO advertise French = chicken! Yay, boycott!

You know, I'm open to a challenge, but I would not even TRY to surrender to a Frenchman -- I'm not at all invigorated at the thought of having sex with other men, but in the surrender argument, the Frenchman might offer up his throat or booty in desperation to be the one to surrender, and I have no use for either.

I can't even imagine trying to surrender to the French. How would that go?
"I surrender."
"No, *I* surrender."
"I surrendered first."
"By *I* surrendered unconditionally."

It started out as 'frog eater' because of the frog's legs and laer became just 'frogs'.
The Brits liked it as a variant of 'toad eater', one who toadies, which is a French characteristic.

Aha! I didn't know that, Peter, thanks for the info!
