Vive la France. How will you be celebrating Bastille Day tomorrow?

I plan on kissing a Frenchy first thing in the morning.
we’ll see where it goes from there

Setting cars on fire in Paris.

Only those little French sardine cans on wheels or all vehicles?

Like this

Any non-german car.

Croissants, coffee and French perfume !

@thorninmud: Mme L’Epinedanslaboue?

I shall continue to watch Brad Wiggins & Chris Froome dominate the Tour de France.
Come on Wiggo, up the Brits!

I will watch the thirteenth stage in Le Tour De France, in which traditionally the French participants will try their best to win on Quatorze Juillet.

I’m going to use my mini-guillotine to chop onions and cheer when each is finished: “Liberte! Egalite! et Fraternite!

Reading the full set of French Revolution related comics at Hark! A Vagrant.

I’ve got an invitation from the Président de la République to watch the official parade at the Tribune! He prays that I do him the honor of attending the ceremony.
And then there is a “disco themed” celebration tomorrow night at the Champ de Mars (near the Eiffel Tower) at night… But I don’t trust France to get disco right; they can barely handle rock and roll.
And it is making a weather of dogs, unfortunately. It’s the rainiest summer they’ve had in like 40 years.

@thorninmud : good luck with that, I’m working on a similar project myself!

“making a weather of dogs”. Priceless.

@thorninmud : I just learned a beautiful new expression from an elegant old Parisian lady today… “Il pleut comme une vache qui pisse!”

I will think on the last words of Marie Antoinette: “Pardon me sir, I meant not to do it”, to Henri Sanson the executioner, whose foot she had accidentally stepped on after climbing the scaffold.

My class warfare buddies and I will be decapitating the Koch brothers in effigy. ;-)

Maybe I’ll go get a manicure and have them do French tips.

I hear fireworks outside my window already :)

Mon dieu, non lurve for moi…sacre bleu.

I will be at work, part of which will include filling about 130 macarons with various buttercreams and the same number of eclairs with pastry cream. This is for someone else’s Bastille Day party that we are catering. I don’t remember the rest of the menu because I know which part I have to concentrate on and that’s it!

Possibly crying.

Un temps de chien is a new expression for me. I love that.

And isn’t there la vache qui rit also, speaking of cows?

@gailcalled: Yes, I’ll never look at la vache qui rit the same way again. And I guess un temps de chien is kind of like our “raining cats and dogs.” People here have been complaining about the weather non stop for a couple weeks. But I just consider myself lucky to not have experienced the heat wave in the U.S. :-/

Dude, I saw François Hollande in the parade, as well as representatives of all the military and civilian security branches, tanks, artillery, troop transports, mounted units, spahis (a service begun in colonial times), the Foreign Legion, mad air force flyovers, and it ended with paratroopers jumping from a helicopter and landing at Place de la Concorde!
And it hasn’t rained yet!
