Louisiana and I've heard that song on the radio plenty! It's not really a radio song -- but a lot of things they play on the radio today should not be allowed played. And I think SouthPark is stupid, sorry. PretzelBug,

A priori, le plus "politiquement correct" que je connaisse pourrait être "Les bijoux de famille". Mais je n'ai pas souvent l'occasion de placer ce terme dans une discussion "chic", alors à vérifier!!! Amitiés Didier Bonsoir,

If not, it's a crudely drawn, cartoon satire, very "potty mouth" at times, but even at my "advanced age" (over 21...way over...) I find it a lot of fun. Anyway, there's this character, a black school cafeteria chef named "Chef" (voiced by Isaac Hayes, who recently quit the show, due to "South Park's" poking fun at Scientology (but they do poke fun at EVERYTHING!)), who has does this marvelous song about the recipe for a sweet treat, called... "Chocolate Salty Balls". Needless to say, no one has the, uh, "Coucougnettes" to play it on the radio in the States! Oh…. do you guys get “South Park” in France?

Il semble effectivement que les français aient une certaine aptitude à démystifier les "choses de la vie", et c'est très bien. Amitiés, Didier Bonsoir à tous,

I know who the right guy would be, but alas, we're worlds apart and he's married and shall remain nameless...but who's to say that what we fantasize and dream about doesn't come true, in another dimension :> (HEAVY sigh)!

I had never heard nor seen <i>coucougnettes</i> before, and it's a word I was not even aware of (and, believe me, my "colorful" French vocabulary is usually pretty good!). The combination of candy and sex talk is very fun as well. The French tend to have a healthier attitude about sex than most Americans do - although I still have a tough time dealing with some "infidelity" issues. And, of course, not all French husbands cheat on their wives, and not all French wives cheat on their husbands (7 out of 10 surprised me a bit, I have to admit.) And absolutely wonderful entry!
