Can any of you guys tell me how to pronounce Coureurs de Bois? It's a card in A Few Acres of Snow and every time I play it I am just like "I play...these...guys..."
Koo-rer de bwah.
This. You're probably not going to get the accent/pronunciation quite right, but I'm sure no one will give a shit.

Okay, where are you from? Also, 21st Century, hi5 on that being your only language. That is kind of glorious. In like a Romans vs. the Maya way.
Ecoterrorism is actually the single largest terrorist threat at the moment. They don't usually kill people, but they blow up or set on fire very expensive things.

21st: It's a pretty neat 1v1 boardgame I got for christmas that pits the British up against the French during the 1700s in Canada.
That sounds pretty nice.
Also, LOL, "A Few Acres of Snow" is a pretty funny pun in French. It'd be "Quelques Arpents de Neige" which is very similar to "Quelques Arpents de Pieges", the french name for Trivial Pursuit.

It's kinda nuts but in the US most people can get by without learning a language other than English
Yeah it'd be nice if people were bilingual
But at the same time when do I practice my conversational French in fucking Liverpool NY

Man, I bet Trivial Pursuit would sell way more copies if it were called A Few Acres of Deadly Traps.

Well it is a line taken from a quote of Voltaire about how pointless the war in Canada was, due to it being such a far off and resource poor area. So I imagine the pun was intentional.

I'm personally torn between learning French or German next. I want the German because then I can go to Germany and order a lager like a man. I want the French because I want to go to the wine country in France and be able to communicate with the folks there (I hear the country side is a gamble for finding someone that can speak English).
I can order beer and tapas in Seville Spain just fine, and a nice Port in Portugal. These are things I can do conversationally (can't read or write it worth a hoot).

It's Europe. Speak English. If they seem like they don't understand you, talk louder and slower and until they get it. That's the American way.

German is badass sounding. Unless you're me, and then you get stuck with the cutest sounding German dialect. Swiss German is to German as Hollywood Cockney is to the Queen's English.
So a new $11 burger and decent beers type place opened up by me called Tavern on 2.
After the last few days all I want is real food and this is their basic burger:
Tavern On 2 Burger
Paso Prime Ranch beef or all natural free-range chicken breast, brie cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, Tavern On 2 signature ketchup sauce on a brioche bun (add bacon, avocado or caramelized shitake and portobello mushrooms for 1.50 each)
Oh man that sounds so good to me oh man

I prefer exploding minds in mind explosions. To wit, speaking with a reasonably good dialect in the native language then turning to my friend and speaking to them in English with the deepest southern drawl that I can muster. So much fun.

That's kind of cheating, though. I mean, it's like "How to Start a Barfight in Spanish." You really only need to be able to string together "mother," "cocksucker," and a bunch of animals in a random order to get your "I'd like to fight about something" point across. You're comparing speaking a language to hurling a bottle against a far wall and pointing at your untrousered dick.

"Destination scan" is the most worthless package tracking update ever
It's basically "your shit's coming to your house. But not yet. Huff a dick."

Aren't both fine? I'm not Canadian, but "bois" isn't inherently singular or plural.
Yessssssssssssssssss.

If you think babbling nonsense phrases consisting of the four or five words I remember from high school counts as practicing
Because again, I don't ever have a time when I use it so I lost whatever meager skill I had

Que senor
Bois can be singular "du bois" as in "some wood" or plural "des bois" as in "Woods".
Coureurs des bois is the proper term because there's no "singular wood" when talking about a forest, you know.
