I am SO getting the Foreign Legion hand towels. Thank you!!!

Awesome!

Side note: did we ever figure out who this Zeugma character is?

WHO R U?

My god that is grotesque!

What a bunch of assholes. This is up there with the ALAMO in poor taste.

Oh and a note to the Legion (regarding that wine bottle): I went to Vietnam earlier this year. Ho Chi Minh is still there.

And you're not.

i once had an affair with a man who left the country to join the french foreign legion, and i am delighted that something so very Snoopy-esque happened in my life. it ups my eccentric auntie cred by one million.

@3,4 For now, I'm sticking by my promise to reveal my identity to Gus and Gus alone, should he (he?) ever care to find out and be willing to keep the secret to him(?)self.

Oh, Zeugma, though I am immensely pleased, immensely, that you'd be willing, and would be thrilled to be told, I must sheepishly admit I have never been able to keep even one secret safe for anyone in my life.

Really, it's my worst thing. When friends ask if they can tell me something confidentially, I have to remember to say no even though I'm always DYING to say yes.

Zeugma,
Beau Geste! Merci.

I'll take a scarf.
