Just wanted to wish all Quebec dopers a really shibby St-Jean-Baptiste. Singing: Mes chers amis, C’est à votre tour De vous laisser Parler d’amour! _sets off blue & white fireworks_ Vive la belle province, Matt ---

Et toi aussi! There’s big happenings out here and in Banff for St-Jean Baptiste, because there are a lot of Quebecois out here. More fun than Canada Day stuff, IMHO. ---

Je suis Anglophone! Je non parle Francais! I can’t be what you think we all need to do! - I _could_, but in my world, it’s John the Baptist. Maybe St-Jean is a different guy… 😉 ---

I’m not sure you got my meaning. “Cul” is a general term for fooling around. Don’t leave me here alone with **Matt\_mcl** or I’m liable to fly into a homosexual panic and ruin my holiday! Also, Quebec Dopers check out [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=75098) and give something back to the Dope. I’d feel bad for Lsura if she put all her faith in a [prankster](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=72218) who pathologically opens threads that begin “Tell me where to go…”!!! ---

Je n’oublierai jamais que le visage que mon compagnon de chambre de Quebecoise fait quand j’ai eu son essai un Molson’s dry a mélangé à Clamato. Is that a weird Prairie thing? Sorry, **eunoia**. I don’t mean to make you use smilies. I’m just naturally delightful 🙂 ---

I’m just naturally delightful 🙂 No argument here, your natural _joie de vivre_ is causing me to reconsider my “political” viewpoint. Suddenly I’m all: _“Why can’t we all just get along?”_. I’d better stop drinking… Nah! _raising a glass_ I love (hiccup) you people! ---
