Okay, everyone who is constitutionally eligible to own or use French presidential furniture, take a step forward.

Not so fast, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Is spicail like fra-gee-le, just in French? If so, shouldn’t it be speçail?

Also, it’s probably wrong that this is what I saw in the picture, right?

Thanks, Dave and the Ferret!

      It’s like the French Disconnection and The Heyday of the Jackal all couched into a woeful room full of tufted volcanic ash.

        I was thinking ‘dryer lint’, but I like volcanic ash better.

          There are those who prefer a large ash, and cannot prevaricate.

          I do not know if that cohort includes any French chief executives, though.

          Specifically, denial regarding the euphoric sensation originating in their nether regions that they feel upon seeing a female with prodigious hindquarters offset by a smaller torso enter a room.

    Presidential furniture huh……yeah I don’t see that showing up in the Oval Office anytime soon. Or maybe it was from the Whitehouse when Jefferson was president. Certainly looks to be in that style. Either way, I will pass on that sweet deal cuz I also think the furniture is carnivorous and will eat my guests.

        Trying to get this out of my head:
        Carla: Nic’ pour le règlement de divorce, vous devez avoir le divan grenouille!
        Nick: Non, il le faut! J’insiste!
        C: Non, je ne peux pas!
        N: Mais, il le faut!
        C: Non! Tous grenouille dégoûtant, non!
        N: Eh bien, je ne pas la conserver, tous gourgandine!
        C: Pig!
        N: Putain!
        And the reset degenerating into French profanity . . .

      Well, it’s *French* Presidential furniture, which means only François Hollande can buy it. That also explains why Nicolas Sarkozy had to put it up for sale.

    The French are on their 5th Republic. I hope they get it right this time. Also why would they surrender the presidential furniture?

      Surrendering is in their blood. Or maybe it’s just a hobby, I don’t know. It’s hard to keep up with the French these days.

    I see what this is – it’s a conspiracy! The French are conspiring to use bad spelling to sell everyone overly ornate (and possibly carnivorous) furniture. One day soon they will give the signal and legions of French ninjas will leap out of the cushions and into action. Everyone will be forced to wear berets and enjoy Jerry Lewis while listening to accordion music!

    It’s also possible that I’m over-reacting from having spent too much time inhaling tile glue fumes.

      Ghostie – even worse than Jerry Lewis is Johnny Hallyday – the only (?) French rock-star. It’s a given fact that within 5 minutes of arriving in France and turning on the radio you will hear him singing. xxx http://johnnyhallyday.com/

    1. I don’t think this French Presidential furniture is really in mint condistion. It used to be sarkozy, but it’s not very comfortable anymore.

    2. The mint condistion engine is the internal combustion engine’s lesser-known, non-functional, etymologically challenged cousin.
