What if?
 
Paris did not have the Eiffel Tower. <BR>Would the city be AS spectacular without that monumental site?

mimi taylor Jan 26th, 2002 04:59 PM

Oh yes! because you still have Place de Concord, Arc de Triumphe, the Bois, Luxenberg Gardens,the Tuilleries,and so much more, too much more to list.

Ok Mimi (any relation to Mimi Rogers - ah nevermind) great dialogue we got going here. Now, lets imagine that you take Paris and drop it in the same location where Cancun is, do we STILL have AS spectacular a city!?!

mimi taylor Jan 26th, 2002 05:17 PM

No tyler(any relation to that rocker?)<BR>You wouldn't have the seine and all those beautiful bridges, and all those nouveau art metro entrances.

tyler Jan 26th, 2002 05:36 PM

No, and you? Liv Taylor your sister - ah nevermind.<BR>Getting back to Paris - your insight is so TRUE.

tyler Jan 26th, 2002 05:46 PM

Mimi seems like you got that Cruise thing goin' on - you know Mimi, Penelope (well you know with the whole spanish email address).<BR>Now help me here (I know, I know, I need to brush up on my spanish), what does your email address stand for?<BR>cigal lecha anta<BR>sounds really exotic!<BR>Now I'm NO IDIOT, I know lecha means milk! Come on - don't keep me hangin' whats the whole thing mean?

All you have to do is look at very recent history. Without the Twin Towers, NYC has become no more spectacular than, say, Omaha or Boise.<BR>So sad.

mimi taylor Jan 26th, 2002 05:52 PM

It is provencal, meaning cigale sings. The cigale is a symbol of Provence and through the summer it sings, really a chirp like the cricket.

Oh Phil,tyler & mimi were so much more pleasant~won't you go away before you say something more asinine....

tyler Jan 26th, 2002 05:56 PM

Phil Jan 26th, 2002 06:02 PM

Oh carrie ~ won't you please stuff it...

tyler Jan 26th, 2002 06:37 PM

carrie Jan 26th, 2002 06:39 PM

tyler Jan 26th, 2002 06:45 PM

Holy Smokes!!! Mommy!?! Help!!!<BR>Perdon Carrie and Phil but I'm scared!! I just don't want to see this come to punches!<BR>Mimi and I were not tryin' to bring about war. Mimi - are you out there?

mommy Jan 26th, 2002 06:51 PM
