Red Cent Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 PM logjam cleared. Curly lets stick with the e-mail. Sheriff CH. Southpaw. Thanks for ressponding.
Indian Jack. Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 "Je me rends" is used alot by the French...It means "I surrender"
Cat Brules Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 "Je me rends" is used alot by the French...It means "I surrender" Let's not forget that we have SASS friends in France and at some point along the way, we're going to need each other ... again.
Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Bottom Dealing Mike posted a video review of a French autopistol some time back. He begins the narration speaking French and it was pretty cool. Don't forget that French was the international language of culture and diplomacy for some centuries. George Washington was duped into signing a confession of murder during the French and Indian War because it was written in French and he was ashamed to admit that he could not read the language. The Old West period was not much removed from the time of Lafayette and De Toqueville. Let's cut our French friends a break.
Concho Billy Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 "Je me rends" is used alot by the French...It means "I surrender" My apologizes to the French, I thought I was joking with Indian Jack, but apparently I have insulted a nation and started an international incident in SASS World.....I wish folks would use the dictionary and figure out the difference between a joke and an insult.......I even added LOL at the end, Geeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz.
Griff Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I don't think it's so easy to make fun of the French when we have a coward-in-chief that bows down to other leaders, is refused handshakes and apologizes for being an "American". Folks that live in glass houses ought not throw stones. In fact, right now... isn't there some French action in a place that just 6 years ago we might be taking an active part? I tried, but couldn't resist... there's to be some other invasion also.
Red Cent Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 I am communicating with "Slye", a holster and saddle maker fom France. Met him on Cas City. He makes beautiful holsters. Beautiful may not be used much in SASS to descrbe holstersbut they are. http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,46922.0.html

Red Cent Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 I have used the French jokes also but not now guys. They may read this. This Frenchman is ate up with cowboy.
Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Hi, impossible to send you an MP, refused by you message box, probably full. If I can help!!! Who could be better than a true French cowboy Curly Red Ryder J'ai vécu en France depuis trois ans, 1963-1966, à Fontainebleau. Malheureusement, je ne parle plus encore en français. Have been back several times, but not in the last 10 years. All jokes aside, the French are the reason we're free today. We had no navy. CR
Snakebite Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 The negative French comments are in poor taste here... First off, Curly Red Ryder has done a fine job for Cowboy Action shooting by translating our RO courses into French... they are posted on line. He is also a very active CAS in France and has the SOG.. which appears to be lacking in some. There is no doubt that we have had our historic differences, but if it were not for the support of France, we might well still be a British Colony. Snakebite

Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 All you need to know for french, is to raise your eyebrows, shrug your shoulders and with a Pepi LaPew accent say "whoa ho ho ho ho"
TRUSTY PHIL Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Howdy my friends ! You guys and gals don't forget you're Umurkans today cause the first "bunch of brothers' ever (i.e. the wannabe Continental Army) was delivered smuggled french muskets sent by the King of France Louis XVI and the poor mob who composed this army was highly trained by a prussian officer and gentleman-of-fortune named Von Steuben (his training book is still tought at West Point !) You returned help perfectly well in 1918 (Lafayette, here we are !) and 1944. Thanks to you ! Trusty Phil SASS Life # 28720 CAS France # 1, founder & Honorary Pdt. Old West Frech Shooters # 2 & Pdt.

Concho Billy Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 My apologizes to the french, I will stick to Aggie jokes from hence forth......but then some here might be wrapped too tight for any jokes at all......Happy Trails.

Hello Concho Billy, Your post about the French was rude. This comment makes me think you are worse than rude. You are a pompous Adam Henry! I can take a joke; insulting my/our friends isn't close to being funny. Happy Trials to all who are true to the Cowboy Way! Regards, Allie Mo

I think your Aggie jokes are funny...but then again I went to UT. (Drove a Renault LeCar when I was there. POS caught on fire but that is a different story)

Sheriff Ch. Southpaw Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Wow calm friends, it is not very nice stuff. Reread the initial post, it was just a little help wondering Red Cent.
Concho Billy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Wow calm friends, it is not very nice stuff. Reread the initial post, it was just a little help wondering Red Cent. ;)/> Sorry Sheriff, I was responding to a friend when I posted and I meant no ill will toward anyone, French or others. This is the typical response on the wire when you post anything that someone in one of the "Buddy" groups doesn't like, you get jumped on by "buddies"......I have removed my original joke and hope you can forgive an old cowboy who likes to joke around. I have limited my posts on the wire for several years exactly for this reason, some do not know when someone is kidding around, and they want to make a major issue of it. Maybe my jokes do not show well for SASS, but name calling sure doesn't encourage new members either.
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Como se dice en ingles....wait that's Spanish. I took two years of French. I remember: À tout à l'heure !
Red Cent Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 Does anyone else appreciate his craftmanship? If you are not aware, Slye uses a crossdraw rig. He didn't understand me( lots have that problem:) )nor did he grasp the open trigger guard. Thanks to a couple of French guys who helped out. My last name is French. Really. F-R-E-N-C-H

Hello Billy, I should not have called you "names." For that, I apologize. However, I still think your joke was tasteless. Sorry for the hijack, Red Cent. Regards, Allie Mo
