You hit the nail right on the head with this one. Let us take an example: curling. Who curls? Canadians. Where did canadians come from? At least some of them came from France, eh? Curling is essentially a game where you put your assets on the playing field and let the other team knock the crap out of them. Sounds like French battle tactics during WWII. Well done.
You make a very strong case about French battle tactics. Can it be said that they ever won any conflict they were involved in? Apologies to any French readers out there…
Don’t worry…if Germans storming their cities, their fellow countrymen surrending without a shot fired (in some cases), and their leaders incessantly calling for “more talks for peace” doesn’t affend them, then your comment definitely won’t.
Crap! Sorry about the double post. I came back to see if there had been any responses and couldn’t find my original post. Maybe I’ll blame it on the blue-on-red color scheme… or maybe just a brain fart. Either way, feel free to nuke the redundant post (and this one) as needed.
Haha, whatever, no problem! Sometimes it makes me approve posts before they go live, and I didn’t get to my computer last night (mostly because of a completely failed date, which I can hopefully transform into comedy), which is probably why you didn’t see it. Thanks for the links!

Holy crap! Look at that first panel … I actually see feet! You, my friend, are growing as an artist (heh heh).

Ha! Yeah, its true Nate, I actually draw feet every once in a while. And almost every time, it’s just to spite you.
