French Funnies Online

Tetesaclaques.tv - check it out if you speak French. Our "French girl" for the summer introduced me to it. French Canadian. Weird and funny videos. If you aren't fluent in Quebecois, I'd suggest using the SOUS-TITRES button - it sub-titles it in "international French" - translating some of the more obscure "regionalisms" for those of us who learned our French in France. Worth checking out.

Update: also (newly) in English at www.tac.tv. Very funny!

Reynald's Almost There...

Send Reynald good vibes! He just called from France and is going down for the night, getting up at 6 a.m. to start his crazy triathlon: 1.5 mile swim, 115K bike (~70 miles) in the Alps, 22k running (~half-marathon/~13 miles). See the "Long Course" here for the gory details: http://www.alpetriathlon.com/
