Ah, but there was one drinkfest where you'd have been safe: the Bal des Pompiers (Firemen's Ball), traditionally held on July 13. |

Maybe that was the reason behind the ruddy glow in the background of many impressionist paintings. "Oh bugger Verlaine's just torched the Cafe Procope again" |

Laughing my ass off at the image of drunken frogs setting fire to each other. Ian, you're on a roll today. That Samuel Jackson thing was brilliant. |

I was having this argument with someone about how could I be so sure that the French didn't set fire to their absinthe back in the 19th century. I pointed out what had happened to the Pernod factory when it got struck by lightning then asked what the effects might be of several hundred drunken Frenchmen setting fire to their absinthe in a crowded bar. End of argument. |

Can they skip the absinthe part and just set fire to your house? |
