These gentlemen run a tasty fast food stand in the Saint-Ouen flea market just outside Paris. They speak English. They're hilarious.

Ernest White II has been a member since 13 April 2008 and goes by ernestwhite2.

Currently in Barranquilla.

I'm an English professor and aspiring novelist (with a pretentious name), originally from the “Bold New City of the South,” Jacksonville, Florida. My passions are, obviously, travel and writing, as well as photography, weightlifting, and electronic music. I've lived in Miami, Santo Domingo, Washington DC, Bogotá, and now Barranquilla, but I'm also cursed with a terminal case of acute Brazilitis. One day, I fear, I shall succumb.
