Actually, I doubt Parisians really do say Papa

good lord, my father just killed a baby squirrel.

with absolutely no qualms whatsoever. He hit it over the head, and then in a dazed confusion it ran under a snowbank where the snow collapsed over its innocent and infantile body.
Actually, that might be a slightly more graphic description than necessary. The point here is that with the combination of his homicidal tendency and my mother's lunacy, it is frankly no wonder that I have turned out the way I have. That is...quite spectacularly mad.
I asked my dear Papa why he had done such a thing (ah, we interrupt this screening of Alcinvil, The Life of, to point out that I am trying out this new thing where I call my father Papa, with an accent on the second 'pa' to give my manner of speaking a sort of urban-Paris-sophisticate/French-modern-film-movement feel. Thus far, I sound mostly like a retarded baby squirrel, much like the one my father recently killed, which brings us to...)
and he answered by saying
"I thought it was a mouse. But actually I hope it was squirrel."

Alpha and Omega. He always seemed so peaceful and loving to me. Other than the vaguely-terrorist threats against America. (and in case the CIA is reading this, what more can you expect from an immigrant? anyways its really my mother you want to take aways. I doubt you could handle her though)

I just want to remind everyone that when someone asks you for the time, go for their eyes first THEN the crotch.
