If you want to move, we have a Versailles up here in Ohio. Just don't pronounce it the frog way, they get mad.
Bro, we have a Versailles down here too.  "VUR-sails" :yes:

Reminds me of Manitoba.

Try and guess how Portage la Priairie or Dauphin are pronounced.  :lol:

What's wrong with Saxons?



See the dude labelled Harold Rex?  Saxons are losers.
More like unlucky.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Okay, we're Canadian, not hillbilly southerners. :rolleyes:

Portage la Prairie is, well, Portage la prairie (since those words all also exist in english).

Dauphin is Daw-fin.

Just be sure to not try and give them a french pronunciation when you visit.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I recently discovered that some of my ancestors were Irish and worked for mobsters in St. Louis.

I already avoid American wine.  :hug:

Sure they do.  They like money, being businesses and all that.

Even businesses can be discerning about their customers.

Besides, its probably like Burberry and Chavs. Being connected to a particular customer base hurt their image as something of refinement.
