BTW, "Je dois partir maintenant parce que ma grand-mère est flambe."
...means "I have to go now, my grandmother is on fire." He says this in order to duck out of an embarrassing conversation that he is having with a person whom he thought was a waiter, but is in fact the President of Burundi.
Ok this is wierd, En "red stick" translates into Fr "baton rouge", but En "baton rouge" translates into Fr "fard à joues de bâton" (which sorta sounds like shit a baton).
The only French name for what I am that I can recall from my time in Quebec was bestowed upon me by an automobile driver that I was having a disagreement with. "Especes de trou de cul", I think it was.
Hey, it is "Red Stick" but it sounds much cooler in French. Rose, do you need some damn AFN "commercials" on You Tube? I'll give them to you if I don't have to watch them anymore. (City Quiz is the new fav, used to be State Quiz. My kids can tell you shit about states they've never been anywhere near...Not bad per say but seeing it so daym many times in a day gets real irksome.)
Where the hell did the Izzard clip come from? Short of You Tube...I liked to watch him in the UK but I don't think he's kosher for AFN...for some unknown reason of course.
I've used that one to get off the phone occasionally: "Oops, gotta go, one of the kids is on fire."
Quoi. And shame. From someone living in a city that would have been called Red Stick if not for the French.

You slay me! I never thought hard about the translation of Baton Rouge until just now. I'll be laughing about that all day.
That was so done in the 8th grade.
Abort! Abort!
(Or as they might say in French: abor, abor!)
