WASHINGTON TIMES-March 19 The company that makes French's mustard wants Americans to know the spicy condiment isn't French. It's British, but that's beside the point. Reckitt Benckiser PLC — the British behemoth that manufactures Lysol, Spray 'n Wash and French's mustard — issued a press release yesterday through a New Jersey subsidiary to remind reporters of the condiment's American seeds. "For the record, French's would like to say, there is nothing more American than French's mustard," the statement said. R.T. French Co., a Reckitt Benckiser precursor, introduced its "cream salad mustard," alongside the hot dog, in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair. It seems French's mustard wants to distance itself from the French people. France has refused to support the war in Iraq, which inspired two Republican members of Congress last week to call a press conference to announce that House cafeterias have dropped the word "french" before fries and toast on their menus and replaced it with "freedom." Americans expect this sort of thing from politicians. But a press release, on the eve of war, to declare French's mustard isn't French? Isn't that laying it on a little thick?    Posted:   Mar 19, 2003 - 6:25 AM     By:   Juverna   (Member) "We've got to save our phoney-baloney jobs, gentlemen! Harumph!"    Posted:   Mar 19, 2003 - 8:00 AM     By:   JohnSWalsh   (Member) Funny--when the French piss on McDonald's, it's an admirable act of cultural self-preservation. When average Americans--not rich fat cats, not Harvard-educated folks--express their outrage in an admittedly unsophisticated by symbolically valid way, theMaureen Dowds of the world find it silly.    Posted:   Mar 19, 2003 - 12:57 PM     By:   Joe E.   (Member) So, when will that un-American Statue of Liberty be demolished?    Posted:   Mar 19, 2003 - 1:43 PM     By:   Ed Kattak   (Member) I like Gulden's Spicy Brown better. Trul Gau Jus Ed    Posted:   Mar 19, 2003 - 2:50 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) There are many people though who couldn't have helped but assume that French's mustard came from the country of the same name since both are noted for being yellow.    Posted:   Mar 19, 2003 - 4:39 PM     By:   DOGBELLE   (Member) There are many people though who couldn't have helped but assume that French's mustard came from the country of the same name since both are noted for being yellow. OR THE SAME COLOR AS what's in your pants when the bombs go off.    Posted:   Mar 20, 2003 - 2:44 AM     By:   Chris Kinsinger   (Member) Yesterday, a complete stranger took a long look at my beard, and mentioned to me that I bear a resemblence to TV's Family Affair's "Mr. French". To which I replied, "No. I'm Mr. Australian."    Posted:   Mar 20, 2003 - 2:48 AM     By:   Chris Kinsinger   (Member) "French's mustard came from the country of the same name since both are noted for being yellow." Now THAT'S FUNNY! Dana! Dana Wilcox! Are you here? See? Eric really DOES have a good sense of humor! PS: I prefer Dijon m'self...    Posted:   Mar 20, 2003 - 10:00 PM     By:   Dana Wilcox   (Member) "French's mustard came from the country of the same name since both are noted for being yellow."

I'm a Grey Poupon man ack-chually.    Posted:   Mar 21, 2003 - 1:42 AM     By:   Batmusicfan   (Member) According to all the bosses I've ever had, I just couldn't cut it.    Posted:   Mar 21, 2003 - 11:15 AM     By:   Ed Kattak   (Member) The humor's still a little tense, but I'm encouraged.

Truly Gau Jus Ed Don't know if you caught it, Ed, but Eric Paddon made a funny over on the other board, in a thread about the sexiest soundtack cues. A point was made abut how sexy saxophone music is, and then how close in sound the words "sax" and "sex" are. Paddon's comment was that this is why Dodgers player Steve Sax did not choose to name his newborn son after his teammate Orel Hersheiser (i.e., then his name would've been Orel Sax). Ha! Pretty damn funny! You don't suppose Paddon's been smoking that funny weed, do you?    Posted:   Mar 22, 2003 - 1:54 AM     By:   Chris Kinsinger   (Member) Awwww, c'mon Dana! Ya' don't have to smoke weed to make a funny! (At least that's never been a problem for ME!)    Posted:   Mar 22, 2003 - 1:58 AM     By:   CAT   (Member) Awwww, c'mon Dana! Ya' don't have to smoke weed to make a funny! (At least that's never been a problem for ME!) Ditto!

In most cases, I'd be agreeing with you...    Posted:   Mar 22, 2003 - 5:24 AM     By:   Originalthinkr@aol.com   (Member) So's Mr. French -- either Sebastian Cabot or the actor John Williams -- from "Family Affair."    Posted:   Mar 22, 2003 - 5:56 AM     By:   Dana Wilcox   (Member) So's Mr. French -- either Sebastian Cabot or the actor John Williams -- from "Family Affair." If anybody needed to be smokin' the funny weed, it was him -- having those two ugly sniveling little demons to watch after all the time.    Posted:   Mar 22, 2003 - 6:40 PM     By:   Originalthinkr@aol.com   (Member) "No-necked monsters," in Tennessee Williams's immortal phrasing.    Posted:   Mar 23, 2003 - 1:13 AM     By:   Ed Kattak   (Member) Don't know if you caught it, Ed, but Eric Paddon made a funny over on the other board, in a thread about the sexiest soundtack cues.

What do you get when you juxtapose the two James Bond villains BLO feld and Odd JOB? ODD FELD, of course!
