Okay, so your name is perhaps...

Gabrielle Bartok, and you live in Nantes and your mother's maiden name is Lupin?

Edit: Oh hey look, it says right there that your location is Nantes. And here I was all proud of myself for figuring out what French city it must be...

bargalunan · 10-06-2005, 12:15 PM

Good reading
You had the choice between Nantes, Nancy and Nanterre in the main French cities.
I've openened a thread about Nantes in "Cities and Travel"
It could be Gabriel (without "le") because I'm not a girl. (I check... : it's always OK)
Lupin, Bartok, no.
Do you read Arsène Lupin in USA, is it known overseas ?

No, I'm embarassed to admit that I got "Lupin" from a Japanese anime series, whose main French character is named "Lupin III ('the Third')."

Also from Harry Potter

Happy Monkey · 10-06-2005, 07:03 PM

It's just French for Wolf, isn't it?

lumberjim · 10-06-2005, 08:25 PM

LUPINS

Dennis Moore loves them

Tonchi · 10-06-2005, 11:21 PM

I think those are LUPINES. Of course, who can tell what the French call them

bargalunan · 10-07-2005, 06:52 AM

"LUPINES OR LUPINS (both spellings are correct) are members of the Bean Family, or Fabaceae, which were introduced to Nova Scotia from the Mediterranean as ornamental plants, but which have escaped cultivation to become common in the wild, along roadways & other open spaces." (I feel more intelligent after copying it

)

They are called "lupins" or "pois lupins" (pois means bean) as well in France. Perhaps because they come from Mediterranean.

We must have all the really cool French people here in the cellar. All the Frenchies who've ever joined us have been cool, nice people.

Except for that one who totally dissed us on American food. Otherwise, they've been really fun.

elSicomoro · 10-07-2005, 12:40 PM

All the French people I know or have met are arrogant and smell funny.

Our famous "great" schools (after highschool) produce such French people and we try to send them abroad under the pretext of boasting French culture. Sometimes they meet same kind of foreign people and feel happy together.

PS : You could have kept Céline Dion. She's already back in France with-her-son-René-Charles. "Elle-est-tellement-contente !" (She-is-so-happy !)
