  1. I was walking down the street in Paris 2 days ago and I saw a middle
    aged man wearing Tour de France labelled fleece vest and matching cap.
    I just started speaking to him in English as he had to be American. I
    explained to him that the Tour de France was considered sub NASCAR in
    Paris, more in the tractor pull range.. In fact, I couldn't think of
    the French tourist equivalent in the USA, has Perrier Nascar gear had
    any success in the USA? Talladega Nights hasn't even been released in
    France yet, it was supposed to be last November and no release date
    appears now....

    It is entirely possible he thinks tractor pulls are for the social elite
    while he prefers [censored] fights, pig racing and rattlesnake round-ups. I hope
    you were able to steer him to similar events in Paris.

    Don't put down [censored] fighting. Once you put money down on one of the
    birds, it can be very interesting.
