Best meme ever! (via slanderous): ask me for a "top five" list of pretty much anything, and I'll do my best to list you my top five of that thing.

What's your top five list of favourite smells?

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

1. Gasoline -> favourite solvent, but others can top this list too
2. Freshly cut grass -> 1 and 2 often went together in the past
3. Cedar -> any burning wood could also take this spot
4. Baking banana bread
5. Coffee

French phrases that can't be translated into English.

Ohhh, creative questioning. You make my brain work.

1. Christ d'estie de tabarnak de sacrament de calice de saint-simonaque.

Good question, but other than serial swearing, nothing pops up immediately, although there are many. I'll have to get back to you on that.

[sabotabby]

Hee...people actually say that? I thought you guys just made it up to confuse Anglos.

Haha. Well, how do you think we swear? We gotta have *something*...

1. La Trois Pistoles
2. Young's Luxury Double Chocolate Stout
3. La Blanche de Chambly
4. Amsterdam Nut Brown
5. Upper Canada Maple Brown Ale

1 and 4 are not bieres!
2 and 5 get big thumbs up from me, especially 2. I was initially wierded out by the idea of a chocolate biere, but damn, thats good. I'm unfortunately unamiliar with your 3 and 4.

1 and 4 are not bieres!

Do you speak French or are you talking through your ass?

[see-my-glock.livejournal.com]

I speak little french. A biere is an alcoholic beverage made with hops, as opposed to an ale.

pilsner: bière blonde
lager: bière blonde
ale: bière brune

[see-my-glock.livejournal.com]

Wait... so there's no difference between a pilsner and a lager in french?

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

I think you can say that it's a "biere pilsner", but I can't remember what it is for that particular beer. But generally, beer is identified like hair:
une blonde, une brune, une rousse, une noire...

[see-my-glock.livejournal.com]

I like that.
English is a stupid, crass language.

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

arg, I meant to be logged in.

all ales, pilsners, lagers, etc are bières in French.

[see-my-glock.livejournal.com]

oops. I suppose that must have been more confusing then I intended.

#3 is a white belgian beer. Imagine Hoegaarden but with actual flavour. #4 is a nut brown ale, it's pretty good. I could have named any number of brown ales, but that one is the one that came in mind first, and since it's a Toronto beer it's widely found in the bars here.

[see-my-glock.livejournal.com]

I'll have to try and find 3. I'm usually not much of an ale fan though.

gimme your top five animals you'd least mind being maimed by.

[(Anonymous)]

1. You!! (hehe)
2. A shark. If I'm gonna go, I should go with a bang!
3. A snail. I'm afraid of snail bites.
4. This quiz is weird. Why would I not mind being maimed? A dog bite is better than a fire ant attack.
5. The Loch Ness Monster
