You mean French Fry as in what our USA Women's soccer team did to the French Women's soccer team today?

Why today? (Or, technically, why yesterday?) I'd think we'd celebrate french fries on a date with more ones in it--1/11, 11/11, 11/1, etc. See, the date looks like french fries. Or do we include the 3 to celebrate the curly fry?

I always thought that was funny. The waitress, took your order for "Freedom Fries" (Not called french cause of where they are from, but how they are cut) with a bic (Made in france) pen, and then went and smoked a cigarette on her break, (Lit by a bic lighter, made in france).

Stopped at the Five Guys on the way home last night for some Fries. I guess I was a day late but it was enough of an excuse for me.

Wes, have you ever had the fries from Gyro Plus on University? They're quite amazing, as far as fries go.

Nope, never thought to get fries there. I will be walking by there twice a day on my work commute starting in 2 weeks when I move. I will try them some time.
