From New York, a weblog of original humor by Brian Sack.
Subject to all the flexible quality standards of internet self-publishing.


French Bred

Films inspired by two weeks in Carnac, Brittany.


Pain & Suffering
When a man's baguette is sneezed on by the woman at the bakery he must gather up the courage, and French, to ask for another one.


The Customer Is Always Right Over There
After being denied menus, water, bread and attention, a revolution brews at table 33 - until they realize they're in a strange world where tipping doesn't exist as they know it.


Invasion Of The Blobby Snackers

A small French beach is invaded by the English - who might have blended in quietly if not for the fact they're the only fat ones.


Liver And Let Die
For two weeks, two men drink countless bottles of wine after everyone goes to bed, knowing full well they'll be paying the price when their kids wake up at 6:30.


Not Without My Stroller
An American mother struggles to escape Charles De Gaulle Airport only to realize it was designed by monkeys and operates with the logic and precision of a twelve-way, sign-less intersection in Somalia.


It's Called Turnover
Hungry foreigners introduce the concept of letting people sit down for dinner at 6:30, even if someone else reserved the table for 8:00.


Didn't We See This Old House?
A fatigued, sweaty tourist with a 25-pound child on his back realizes all castles look the same and are made out of old stones.


Let's Get This Party's Starter
After discovering entrée means appetizer in France, visitors from another world realize that actually makes much more sense.


The Crêpe
While abroad, an American discovers the cure for his country's obesity epidemic: A flour disc with an egg and some ham in it. For dinner.


But You Said You'd Be Open
In a country lulled into complacency by a mandated 35-hour work week, no one seems willing to make a profit by opening the internet café on time.


C'est Anything
Surrounded by sexy foreign girls who won't acknowledge him, a man is empowered after realizing they're used to short guys with no deodorant but incredible self-esteem. Then he remembers he's married, so the empowerment doesn't really matter anyway.
