As of June 2007, I have redesigned and relaunched the site at www.thedissidentfrogman.com/blog
This page won’t be updated anymore, and remains here for archiving purposes. After all, that’s a piece of my history.

I’m just next door, really. I have consolidated all the content of the site since 2002, and I’m running on a much improved software.

Please update bookmarks and blogrolls:

or

See you there.

A compter de juin 2007, j'ai redesigné et relancé le site en www.thedissidentfrogman.com/blog
Cette page ne sera plus mise à jour, et demeure à titre d'archive. Après tout, c'est un morceau de mon histoire.

Je ne suis pas loin, vraiment. J'ai consolidé tout le contenu depuis 2002, et je tourne sur un logiciel bien plus amélioré.

Merci de mettre à jour bookmarks et blogrolls:

Superior Value • Valeur Supérieure

Fired from France by the dissident frogman

Alice Bachini has taken my recent Crystal Nights post as a stepping stone to bring the issue home in such an insightful and pertinent way that it would be superfluous to add anything else but go read it now.

As a matter of fact, although we both attended the last Blogger Bash at the Samizdata HQ, I missed the pleasure to enjoy her conversation: I believe she was the lady whose attention was egotistically monopolized all the evening by Brian Micklethwait, even though on these pictures he's acting as if he's not.		 Alice Bachini a pris mon récent post Nuits de Cristal comme point d'appui pour amener le sujet dans notre contexte d'une manière si pertinente et efficace qu'il serait superflu d'ajouter quoi que ce soit d'autre que allez la lire maintenant.

De fait, bien que nous ayons participé tous deux au dernier Blogger Bash au QG de Samizdata, j'ai manqué le plaisir de jouir de sa conversation : je crois qu'elle était la jeune femme dont l'attention fut égoïstement monopolisée toute la soirée par Brian Micklethwait, en dépit du fait que sur ces images il feint de n'en rien faire.

Frogman,

Nope, just wanted to see if I could turn a frogman red.

If I have offended you with my little joke , please accept my humble appology.

Posted by: Papertiger the Californian | November 26, 2003 06:50 AM

Hehe, well let's see if I can turn a Californian green then:

If I had been sitting in that tree, you'd have a whole bunch of reasons to BE jealous Papertiger. Trust me.

Don't know about Val, but I pretty much enjoyed your joke. No apology needed as far as I'm concerned.

Made me wonder if you'd been talking to someone tho. Turning green already?

DF,
I always enjoy Paper Tiger's comments. And he's a cutie too.

Paper Tiger,
Enjoy your free-range tofu stuffed with sushi tomorrow out there in California. Seriously, have a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family.

Rock on alice

DF have you ever seen Dances with Wolves?

Movie quote/ Kicking Bird: I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life there is one that matters most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail and it is good to see.

Val
Hope you enjoy your BBQ free-range sage hen dipped in home made picante sause out there in Texas. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours .

PS lets go get em Cowboys.

Posted by: Papertiger | November 27, 2003 10:11 AM

HEY PAPERTIGER! Speaking of Texans who serve dinner!!
The Cowboys losing was no big dea, because THE Cowboy is a winner!
