Email from someone I did business with maybe two years ago?
Bonjour substitute!
Pardon! On est désolés! Le serveur a mangé trop de bûche
à Noël et nous avons du retard pour l’envoi des brouzoufs.
Nos petites mains ont travaillé dur et le problème est
maintenant résolu : voici 222 brouzoufs.
Avec toutes nos excuses!
A bientôt sur [REDACTED]
L’équipe [REDACTED]
1. I have no idea why they’d owe me 222 euros.
2. I had to look at an online French slang dictionary to find out that a brouzouf is a euro.
Edit:A commenter has the real story: it’s some kind of bonus point scheme at LaFraise.com, and not 222 euros. So it is for real and not incomprehensible! Yay!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM WERNER HERZOG
This is Nick’s fault.
WHAT KIND OF SYRUP
Caption of the day and/or News QOTD of the day from the Orange County Register:
“Craig Gross, founder of XXX Church.com, next to a stack of “Jesus loves a porn star” Bibles that his staff handed out at the AVN Adult Expo in Los Vegas in January. This weekend, Gross is coming to Huntington Beach for one of the organization’s signature events: Porn and Pancakes.”
At least they have pancakes.
In which Rachael Ray has a particularly strange day

Hello mudda, hello fadda
CBS Was Warned on “Kid Nation,” Documents Show
Pullquotes:
Four children received medical treatment for accidentally drinking bleach, one child was burned on her face with hot grease while cooking in an unsupervised kitchen, and most of the children were required to work 14 hours or longer per day.
CBS officials had used the “camp” designation to characterize the reality show in discussions with parents.
CBS contended the children were not employees because they were not performing specific work for specific wages.
Bonus points: The Attorney General investigating the event is named “Buzzard.”
I think they intended to recreate Lord of the Flies but the effect was more Kamp Krusty. For this kind of bad publicity they should have at least got one or two pig heads on a stick, if not a full Battle Royale.
I suggest SURVIVOR: EXPOSED! in which infants will be left on mountaintops. As the show progresses, we find out which ones survive, raised by wolves, and return to the city to wreak a terrible vengeance.
PARTY!!!!
BEST PARTY EVER! No, I don’t know either. Better not to ask.
The World of Commerce: Today’s Signs and Packaging
Today’s WTF
There is a miniature train for children, of the kind found in amusement parks, driving around my neighborhood making loud fake train noises.
I’ll try to get MEDIA DOCUMENTATION if it comes by again.
