How ridiculous! Abandoned fun fair...

I can visualise other things, if you'd prefer.

How about a thimble placed quite near a baker's footprint?

Or a shadow of a fire hydrant outlined on the pavement with purple chalk? At 12:03pm.

Keep visualising, I'm almost there!

Where?

I'm visualising sooo hard at the moment.

 :-S

If a Narwhal is caught in the surreptitious act of urinating on the hydrant in the shade of a larch, then yes - that can happen.
 
I thought that was only a Pennsylvania-Dutch thing.
 

I don't see how, seeing as both are French inventions. :C

We only take notice of the French when they are in trouble. Or if they send us big statues.


Plus, the baker immigrants never said where they got their customs from, or at least lied to us.

Yeah, they probably lied. Though there are tell tale signs that they might have been French.

Is it recorded if they ever said 'boulangerie' or was there a sudden uprising in quality patisserie of the time, east of the Appalachians?

I seem to recall something about a new presence of a certain type of droppings, or wait - was it something about bourgeoisie... no, I think actually it was cow patties.

Sorry.
