Amie de mon coeur, cette fille est non seulement moche, mais en plus c’est une vraie cretine.

Hélas, you can lead a dumb ass to water but you can’t make it drink : )

Ex parum mens quod magnus egoes adveho idiocy

Bingo!

Anthony Cox just proved my point ... rofl

bonmot,

"Amie de mon coeur"...as Flaubert often expressed to George Sand during their long correspondence....I've always wished for someone to say that to me : )

cohenite,

Don't put yourself down like that : )

Flaubert eh? An epileptic misanthrope who wrote as conscious a literary masterpiece as exists; his other work is rubbish. Flaubert was both repulsed and fascinated by the bourgeois. He had a gigantic ego; only a supreme egoist could deliberately write a novel devoid of the ego of the author about the mundane with the intention of elevating the mundane to the artistic through the prism of the author's style. What a loon.

He would have been an exemplary AGW believer.

What a pair of snobs you are.

The only point bonmot has is on his head.

Poirot, merci beaucoup

I did not know much about Flaubert - so looked him up on Wiki :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaubert

Seems he was just as much a realist as he was a romantic ... me too :)

Oops, that's right, the naysayers round here say Wiki lacks cred ... oh well :(

@ Anthony Cox, the only snobs around here are those who 'speak' Latin.
