I just found the Hide This French book book. I don’t remember every buying it, but here it is anyway. Here are some of the funnier translations. Is it accurate?
Je lui ai roulé un patin.
I french kissed him.
Literally: I rolled a skate to him.On a pris notre pied.
We had a good time.
Literally: We took our foot.Il est une grande folle.
He is gay.
Literally: He is a big crazy woman.Il y a du monde au balcon.
She has big boobs.
Literally: The balcony is crowded.J’adore ça! A mon avis, ça devrait être correct, mais suis pas tout à fait au courant de l’argot français. Ceci me fait penser à un livre que Mary Anne m’a offert il y a 10 ans sur l’argot Cockney rimant. Encore une fois: j’adore!
Last one is my fave.
There’s also a variant to “Je lui ai roulé un patin”/ “I french kissed him”
“Je lui ai roulé une pelle”, literally : I rolled him a shovel.
just ‘cause.
![The Big Picture- The Berlin reunion (Royal Deluxe)
“Earlier this [month], 1.5 million people filled the streets of Berlin, Germany to watch a several-day performance by France’s Royal de Luxe street theatre company titled “The Berlin Reunion”. Part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Reunion show featured two massive marionettes, the Big Giant, a deep-sea diver, and his niece, the Little Giantess.”
More beautiful pictures here. (Thanks Jennifer ;)](http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kro6c2B2351qz800xo1_500.jpg)

The “Ernest et Célestine” book collection is one of our all time favorites. I think every kid should be introduced to them. If you need a present idea for Christmas, this is it. (They’re available in english on Amazon.)
I can’t believe this creature is real! It looks like it would grant you wishes if you came upon it in the forest.
So cute !!

This is an incredible idea for a music video.
This new Polaroid-like camera from Japan in our store today is pretty sweet.
This is going on my Christmas wish list.
Capucine has a new friend. She arrived today after a long trip over the ocean. Her name is Amélie, and she has been sent by the lovely Emily so she could live new adventures in France. Capucine promised she would take good care of her and would follow the instructions that Emily gave her : “She loves bedtime stories, hugs and kisses. Make sure that she eats plenty of food and doesn’t stay up past her bedtime.”
Thank you Emily. I think Amélie is in good hands.

This makes me so mad that I will refrain from further comment.
