My French-speaking friend says it's lay-awl, and I'm *pretty* sure that's the way Anthony Bourdain says it. But like toe-may-toe/toe-mah-toe, maybe there's more than one way to pronounce it?

"Les Halles (4851′46″N, 220′40″E) is an area of Paris, France, located in the 1er arrondissement. It is named for the large central wholesale marketplace, which was demolished in 1971, to be replaced with an underground modern shopping precinct, the Forum des Halles. It is notable in that the open air centre area is below street level, like a pit and contains sculpture, fountains, and mosaics.

Beneath this lies the underground station Chtelet-Les-Halles, central hub of Paris's express urban rail system, the RER."

I suppose this is the equivalent of naming your restaurant after the old meat packing district in NY.

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to US politics and John Kerry's never impressed me in the least but even I could tell right away he was having a crack at Bush and not the fuckin troops. It's just another ridiculous embarrasment that anyone thought that.

Sweet show anyway, anytime Keet's doing some kind of impression, whether it comes from inside his head or from an impersonation attempt I'm grinning like a retard. Bring on the day when Pixar comes calling at KATG's door.
