And no one here knows why there is that Labor Day celebration on our calendar, and what we are supposed to do then. Working that very day?

In the US, Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of September. I think mostly to separate it from the memory of the Chicago Haymarket Affair and the International socialist movement. And, of course, it’s roughly halfway between the two other major holidays: Independence Day and Thanksgiving!

I love Paris in the springtime

They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Tags, what about this? at the time I couldn't even fathom what 64 was. Let alone a hard days night.

Is it just me, or does she look a little bit like someone around here?

Tonite soccer France v NL

Rumour has that the match will be stopped in the 62th minute.

Well done; no red cards, no head butts, no hands ball. It wasn't necessary.
Monday France v Ireland. Should be even easier.

Yes! But in the current context most retire before 36; It's a disgrace.
