I don't think there are many ranches in France fuckface.

Yeah you never hear about French Ranchers clogging roads.

I'll be a Jolly Rancher.

I'll get my coat.

I feel like the Russian guy in Hunt for Red October who wanted a ranch.

Just not in damn Montana.

My brother in law has a ranch (or at least, he has a bunch of cattle on a farm.  I've never heard him call it a ranch though).

Move to Alberta.

NO. WAY. IN. HELL.

The Polish Embassy in the United States took issue with CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer's decision to belittle Macy's marketing tactics with a comparison to the Polish army's efforts against the Nazi invasion in World War II.
According to the embassy's statement Tuesday afternoon, Cramer had made an "inaccurate and insensitive" statement on May 11: "Macy's is like the Polish Army in WWII — it tried to field cavalry against German tanks and it did not end well."
"This is pure Nazi and Communist propaganda that continues to weave its way into Western media reports to this very day. If the mainstream media is to be respected by viewers, it cannot recycle old Nazi propaganda," it reads.
The statement clarifies that a small number of Polish cavalry charges in 1939 were directed against Nazi infantry, artillery and supplies, but never tanks.
"Over 75 years have passed since the start of World War II, it is time to abandon false claims based on propaganda," the statement reads.
An NBC representative redirected Yahoo News to Cramer's Twitter page when asked for comment. He simply wrote, "Duly noted. I am sorry. It will not happen again..."

Yeah that story has died hard. But with the Iron Curtain there were no Poles to be offended by it until 1989.

Yeah we didn't send horses against tanks.  We sent them against heavy machine guns and armored cars, damn it!

[Valmy]

At least the charge was a success

I presume you are talking about the charge in 1942 against the Japanese in the Philippines.
