Out in the World, All Debts Must Be Repaid!

The globalized rampage of bird flu cannot serve as a reason for the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits of various nations to close shop or slack off. When a Gallic rooster held high globalized the global screen, professionalism can become quite German. But France is not Germany. The Gallic rooster, professional only for the sake of romance, can only be professional at producing a lengthy candlelit banquet and an even lengthier defense line amid the fires of war.

Romance wraps around indolence. French-style indolence is not Brazilian ET getting lazy from being fat, nor is it ET Brazil getting fat from being lazy — it is the flavor flavored by red wine and foie gras, that complexity and purity so uniquely distinct. French men who are professional about romance are naturally not something that non-French men who merely ejaculate romantically can package. France is always so France — even Hitler's armored forces could not make France more German.

But France is often quite England, and not merely because of that French problem that has been Englanded. England in 1966, France in 1998 — 32 years of space-time continuation was not merely about that long Channel. German tenacity, US-style blunders — all ultimately become mere English celebrations. And this space-timed the Brazilian-style sloppiness and ET-style collapse cooked up in the French-style banquet.

Out in the world, all debts must be repaid! This is very un-English, even less French, but very world. When the Hand of God and the Foot of God 1986'd the Three Lions, when the bloated and somewhat ET Gazza shed his futile tears of 1990, when different versions of 1998 and 2002 concerning the same pair of feet both proved the unreliability of men's faces and hair, England finally Englanded its way through 40 years.

And France — is it also 40-yearing its way through France? 450 minutes have already lengthened 8 years of length. The gap between ET and ED is not always so unique. Even less related to uniqueness: whether or not one can ET, one must at least not ED. When the day France worlded the head turns into tonight Korea worlding the feet — even if not Brazilian — the difference between ET and ED cannot merely be differenced. All debts must be repaid. Having repaid what must be repaid — France, can you still France?
