or in English, Happy Bastille Day! The French and wannabe Frenchies celebrate each year on the 14th of July to commemorate the 1789 storming of the Bastille prison. The demonstrators were actually just looking for guns and ammunition, but the event proved to be a symbol of defiance and was one of the opening acts of the French Revolution.
Here in Ohio, the Scouts will wash the day's dirt off with Savon de Marsaille,
dry our hands with a Le Jacquard Francais tea towel,
and plop down on our Louis XVI inspired settee to enjoy a lovely glass of French wine.
Bonne Fete!
