L'Empire du Côté Obscur
I Am
L’Empire du Côté Obscur*, I Am in L’Ecole du Micro d’Argent (1997).
Hello friends, nerds and rap lovers alike. I just remembered ONE OF THE COOLEST SONGS of ONE OF THE COOLEST RAP ALBUMS EVER MADE in FRANCE is about THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE.
You don’t believe me?
The dark monarch arrives and spreads
His power, the might of the shadow is established(…)
For the rebels the force is too strong
I sweep the little Ewoks like the wind sweeps dead leaves
Undecided be warned, beware
Of the only star that blends into the night(…)
I am the son of Jabba, the dirty spawn of Darth Vader
The big boss of mic handling, I love
Adapting my technique in the way of the chameleon
With no mercy to tame the rebellion
(…)
“Luke, help me!” Silly girl it’s too late
You belong to the sinister lord dressed in black
Helmet, hoarse breath under the armor
Of the toughest soldier of the Empire’s dark side.
Jason: best introduction ever to both French and rap. You’re welcome, darling.

The dentures that saved the world
The son of Winston Churchill’s dentist is auctioning off the hero’s dentures, revealing a cunning detail of how Churchill coped with difficult situations:
“Churchill used to flick out his dentures when he was angry and throw them across the room,” said Mr Cudlipp.
“My father used to say he could tell how the war was going by how far they flew.”

Da Vinci Claude
MC Solaar
Da Vinci Claude, MC Solaar in Chapitre 7.
Je renoue avec Claude et Solaar renoue avec les années 80.
“Tout se mélange dans ma tête depuis l’aube,
Je suis comme dans un chapitre du Da Vinci Claude.
(…)
Un soir dans une ruelle un homme étrange me déclara
Que Marylin Monroe était une fan de Pompidou
Et qu’elle a déclaré sa flamme en chantant ‘Pompompidou’“
Longue vie à Solaar.*

* I resume my relationship with Claude as Solaar resumes his relationship with the 80s.
“Everything is confused in my head since dawn,
It’s like I’m in a chapter of the Da Vinci Claude.
(…)
One night in a back alley a strange man told me
That Marylin Monroe was a fan of Pompidou
And that she declared her love when she sang ‘Pompompidoo.’“
Long live Solaar.

Freudian Slip
At the Waterstones bookstore in Charing Cross, a small elderly lady squeezes into the customer toilet. Before closing the door, she turns to my mom, who was waiting in line behind her, and whispers:
“I won’t lock the door. I suffer from claustrophobia.”
“Don’t worry,” replied my mom. “I’ll make sure no one comes in. I understand. I’m a psychologist.”
“Well, the funny thing is” the lady replied, “I’m a psychologist too but it’s always easier helping other people.”

The limits of solidarity.
He’s holding off on the black iPhone 4 because I’m waiting for the white one.
Him: I can paint a black one with Tipp-Ex for you, if you can’t wait.
Me: Oh, I can wait. Here’s the latest.
Him: Tipp-Ex it is.
