Sausage and Wine

...were indeed consumed in the streets of Paris.
"That didn't stop some 300-400 people from turning out for the party Friday. Some carried French flags.

Instead of the neighborhood originally chosen, it took place on the famed Champs-Elysees avenue near the Arc de Triomphe.

Police officers looked on as revelers tucked in to sausages and drank wine from plastic cups. The event apparently took place without incident.

Alcohol and pork are forbidden by Islam."
They could have done with a few more than 300-400, though.

This report says it was more like 800. (Videos below.)



Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé!
L'étendard sanglant est levé!
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils et nos compagnes!

Aux armes, citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons!
Marchons!
Marchons!

Quoi! ces cohortes étrangères
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers!
Quoi! ces phalanges mercenaires
Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers!
Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers!
Grand Dieu par des mains enchaînées
Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient !
De vils despotes deviendraient
Les maîtres de nos destinées!


En Anglais:

Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised
Bloody standard is raised
Can you hear in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers?
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of our sons and consorts
!

To arms, citizens,
Form in battalions,
March, march!
Let impure blood
Water our furrows!

What! These foreign cohorts
Would make laws in our homes!

What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would cut down our proud warriors
Would cut down our proud warriors
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brow would yield under the yoke
Vile despots would have themselves be
The masters of our destinies
!


Rather ironic, isn't it.






Time for some ass kicking...



...every time they yell Allahu Akbar.

Meanwhile, across the channel, Britain bans radical preacher. By God! I think they've got it!
