- Welcome and bienvenu(e) to the one quiz show that lets you find out
- how well your stereotypes and preconceptions of our foreign friends
- match up with reality! (Les francais s'abstenir svp.)
-
- We'll be asking various questions, some multiple choice, some not, to
- see how well you know what the froggies have been up to lately. The
- important thing is to _participate_, say the frenchies (who think it's
- rather unsporting of us to concentrate on _winning_ so much), so join
- in the fun! Answers (and explanations, etc.) sometime next week.
