Buyer

Yes bring the baby, bring the baby, and be sure to pick up an extra pack of Yankee cigarettes to take as you stroller around the Arc de Triumph! If I might make a suggestion, nothing compliments hot pink like lime green! I might suggest a hat or scarf of lime! Be sure to complain loudly as well, that always gets you better service!

Hold on a second with that lime green advice!! If Knotdecided shows up in lime green, the local street cleaning brigade is libel to coerce her into sweeping and hosing the streets. <BR>With that lime green outfit, they are sure to think she is one of them. <BR>I also suggest very thick lipstick and chewing gum, a big wad of it. Perhaps false eyelashes would round out the costume as would little bells and flashing lights on the shoes.

Do not try to plug in your steam curlers set in your bathroom - there's not enough juice. Simple find an outlet down in the breakfast room and do your curlers there. (And if the breakfast roll is too hard, just pop it in the steam for a sec.) <BR> <BR>Oh, and you'll need to bring your own ranch dressing to dinner.

Actually, I've always found a few finger-clicks and yelling out "Garcon!" has been effective when trying to catch your French waiters attention... You know how much the French appreciate at least an "effort" to speak the lingo... (just be sure it's a guy though, since you're actually calling out "Boy!") <BR> <BR>Also, you may want to stock up on American favorites like "Charlie" which smells delicious and is soooooooooooo much cheaper than those Fancy French Foo Foo Perfumes! (And speaking of buying stuff, always offer to pay in real money before you mess with figuring out how many francs somethings going to cost...) <BR> <BR>

Well I.M., it appears you have done the right thing getting your extensive trip research here at the Fodor's site. Combined with all the above input, you should be able to experience the perfect Paris vacation. Please remember to post again upon your return, and post under the title "Just returned, anbody have questions?" <BR> <BR>For just a couple last minutes tips, please do a search on the "drunk mama" thread. <BR>

Actually, I'd like to see Knotdecided post a really long trip report upon her return. Maybe split it into six separate threads, so everyone can guess which part goes after which part. Also, make sure you include misspelled hotel names without phone numbers. That's always helpful.

Hey, I thought pink was this year's black!

Uhura

No, no no! Black is this year's pink. Get it straight, please. <BR> <BR>

Dear Knotdecided: <BR> <BR>I can't help but think your true name is Knotnoticed and the Paris excursion is just the cure. You would fit right in here at my clinic. You know, the place where we see the world go by and imagine ourselves to part of it...nay, stars in the show. I say, "You go girl, and with all the colour you can muster up." <BR> <BR>And as always, <BR>God Bless, <BR>Dr. Fordor

Tammy Faye

<BR>I.M., <BR>My child you are truly blessed! I am just now launching my new line of clothing and makeup into the European market, starting in Paris! I am currently looking for a few people to 'model' my new line (no charge, of course) while vacationing in Paris. If you are size 22 to 32 and are not allergic to aluminum or nickel dust (in some makeup) please contact me. This line has already shown great success in Branson, Gatlinburg, Fayetteville, Las Vegas and Little Rock. You could be one of the first to sweep Paris off its feet! May God Bless, Tammy.

Praise the Lord? Praise my behind, Tammy Faye. I slaved away all of those years building a ministry that was a fine tribute to God (and quite a cash cow, to boot), and you drop me like a burning bush as soon as the door slams shut on my cell? <BR> <BR>Well, I have news for you. I never liked your makeup. Ha! How do you like them apples. All of that stuff I said about how the eye liner brought out the color of your pupils? I just made that up. As for your line of makeup, here's a news flash: it's also quite popular in San Quentin and Leavenworth. <BR> <BR>But enough about you. I landed back on my feet, all right, no thanks to you. I even have a new lady. I'm thinking we'll get hitched soon, so tell your lawyer that I want an annulment. One of these days, I'll introduce you to my latest wife -- Mrs. Paula Jones Bakker.

The day my momma cried in the Ghetto, she said son, you are a hunka hunka burning love and deserve that special someone, that lady who would love me tender, love me true. <BR> <BR>So I went searching the world over. I was Wild in the country, having Fun in Acapulco, playing with Girls, Girls, Girls, until one day when It Happened at the World's Fair. I found myself in Double Trouble when I got into Trouble with the Girls, after becoming a little Girl Happy with my Kissin Cousins. However, after a few years of Jailhouse rock, I knew it was time for a change of habit. I wanted to step up to a classy dame. <BR> <BR>Well Knot, after hearing you describe your style of dress, spending habits and choice of food, I got all shook up, and knew I had a burning love for you, my little teddy bear. <BR> <BR>Wisemen say that only a fool falls in love over the internet, but the thought of you in pink, with stale bread crumbs (and maybe some jelly donut stains) on your two week old dirty low cut top has stolen my lonely heart baby. <BR> <BR>So come with me my love. Take my hand, take my whole life through, we will travel from the backroads of Paris, Viva Las Vegas to the depths of Blue Hawaii. <BR> <BR>Don't worry about gawkers, or people wanting autographs baby, with your hot pink pants and my blue suede shoes, I'm sure we will blend right into the background of all our travel destinations. When the cash runs out we will cleverly climb into a vent freight trunk markered "return to sender" for our free trip back home. <BR> <BR>So come on baby, don't be a hard headed woman, and don't be cruel. Regardless of our destination, you will never stay at Heartbreak Hotel as long as wear my ring, around your neck. <BR> <BR>So tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? Signed....your Kid Galahad. <BR> <BR>

P.S. <BR> <BR>I forgot to mention, if, as my very intelligent and close friend Chris mentioned above, that you are in fact BoyGeorge. <BR> <BR>Charro, all the better. We can have a Clambake with my friends Johnnie and Frankie, So Tickle Me, and remember, Easy come, Easy go. That's the way it is when you Live a little and love a little. I have an enough of the Trouble with Girls. <BR> <BR>Thank you...thank you very much.

Fred Phelps

WHAT!?!?!?! I see someone mentioned Boy George on this thread! WELL!!!!! That is it, the war must begin. As you all know we must be ever vigilant in our fight against the immoral faggots and we will overcome! I personally will travel to Paris (The Sodom of the East) and follow this "thing" around with picket signs and beseech all of you right thinkers out there to join me. Hot Pink indeed! The color of the Devil, the very essence of SIN!!!! I will ask my loyal followers at the Westboro Baptist Church to conduct a bake sale to fund my trip and then I will PUT A STOP TO THIS HOT PINK WEARING FAGGOT! Please support me and visit out web site soon.

Personally, I think no outfit would be complete without a nice, form-fitting, lime green and pink tube top.

So this is what I have to do to stoke the love of my eternal flame Elivs? Knothead, I am so jealous that you have attracted such poetry, such undying affection. I can only hope to emulate your fashion statement to someday net an Elvis of my own.

chris

Fred, <BR> <BR>I doubt many people know about the real hate monger Fred Phelps from Kansas.

Fred Phelps

OK Chris it is obvious that you are a little light in your loafers, so I and some of my loyal followers will be showing up in your front yard for some serious picketing activities. How dare you say that I am unknown? ME? Fred Phelps, the scourge of the faggots, the upholder of the American way, the hater of all things pink, God's servant on Earth, the fighter of the good fight, unknown????? Woe be upon you Chris, and all of your Sodomite friends, both here and in "gay" Paris. Break out the signs boys there is work to be done in good old KC.

chris

Fred, <BR> <BR>It is funny, I did not realize that my note that most people probably do not know about the real Fred Phelps would have deserved any kind of response, let alone, a negative attack from you. <BR> <BR>How are you going to find time to write here once junior high starts back? It is clear from your post that you are probably a 13 year old boy who thinks himself cool by using your silly little rantings. I think even your mother would be embarassed by you. <BR> <BR>You are fooling no one. At least the real Fred is fool enough to believe in that he says. You are just another wanna be loser. Go to keep child, perhaps one day you will awake as a man. <BR> <BR>
