Interesting huh?

That does seem odd, Tom, because French is spoken all over the world
with different dialectics. Like French Guiana and Paraguay in South
America and as you well know, with various blends in SE Asia.

I wondr how much "country french" he was looking for?

Country as in rural areas fudge brain. :)

Here - learn you something.

Standard French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_French

Standard French (in French: le français standard, le français neutre
[Neutral French] or le français international [International French])
is an unofficial term for a standard variety of the French language.
It is a set of spoken and written formal varieties used by the
educated francophones of several nations around the world. Standard
French is also the language of dictionaries and higher education, and
the main register for the press, television and radio broadcasting in
addition to government and business-related communication. As such it
is a prestige dialect.

Acadian French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_French

Since there was no linguistic contact with France from the late
eighteenth century until the twentieth century, Acadian French
retained features that died out during the French standardization
efforts of the nineteenth century.

Although many aspects of this language (vocabulary, alveolar "r",
etc.) are still common in rural areas in the West of France, any
speakers of other dialects of French, such as speakers of Metropolitan
French, i.e. the French of France, and even of other Canadian
dialects, have difficulty understanding Acadian French, even when
spoken slowly.

See also Chiac, a mixed language based on French and English, and
Saint Mary's Bay French, a distinct variety of Acadian French spoken
around Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia.

OK, but the Germans still make the best bread in Europe.

No way. The Italians do.

Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

In my opinion? Two come to mind, both I've used, one I own.

Taurus PT911 - I did some target shooting with this one at the Rod and
Gun club a couple of months back. I like it - has a really nice feel
to it and seems to be a good general purpose weapon.

FN Herstal FNP-9: This one I own and I like it a lot. Has a very
nice feel to it and because I have large hands, the ability to swap
out the back stop was handy. When I sold my two Glocks, the local
gunsmith recommended this one. It's a good choice for carry purposes
as it fits really nicely into my tuck holster.

Speaking of 9mm pistols, who makes the best commercial hot dog?

Gun Tests sez:

Taurus Millennium PT111, $367, and PT911, $508. Don’t Buy.

FNP-9 Gun Tests gave it a C- for its ammo handling problems and lousy
trigger.

Apparently Tom prefers the eTec model pistols.

There are a number of very good 9mm pistols out there. Taurus never
comes to mind and FN's are second to third rate, and overpriced, too.


Glock makes a selection of 9 mm, and if you don't want a thumb safety,
they're pretty damned good. Springfield's XD's are very good, as are
SIGs, and CZ's.

Boars Head of course.

I will put the FNP9 on my list to investigate. A quick read says it has
a good trigger, SA DA, Decocker, Hi Cap magazines. Good to carry but not
so good on the range for distance beyond 7 meteres.

If they hadn't quit making them, I would have said Best's Kosher.
I read that when Sara Lee stopped Best's, Comiskey Park went to Vienna
Beef.
Vienna Beef was always a Chicago hot dog stand favorite, but I don't
recall seeing them packaged at the store. We always went with Best's.
Have to look for them.
I want to try the Hebrew National and Nathans too.
Wife bought some dogs this summer and they were flat terrible.
Told her not to buy any more until I find a suitable replacement for
Best's. So I've been suffering by sticking with brats until then.
Must say it hasn't been very painful.
