What pairs of smooth women calves.

Sneakers sneak, because they have quiet shoe soles.

Some people imply that new age wimps are everywhere.

On the other side of the gender line, there are too many ballbusters, they say.

A traditional university campus can be downright poetic at certain moments.

I am dog-tired after a particularly long day.

Love it or loathe it, c'est la vie...

Probably many businesses are silently losing their shirts for the time being.

At the same time, it appears that the weather crisis is looming.

However, as individuals, we shouldn't have over-the-top worries, just do the best that we can.

The calm facades of Canadians on the streets belie the truth that many of them are stressed either in work, or in life, or in both.

Many young men go through work-out regimens in order to get more showy body shapes.

Is it a blessing for themselves, or a curse?

Unfortunately, some clothes are not colorfast, which are made by some Chinese companies.

I don't know. Do these advertisement words sound a bit tongue-in-cheek?: "Une école de vie... pour la vie".

Elle est belle.

Est-ce que c'est le chinois?

Il et elle.

The title of Tamas Wells' second album, A Plea En Vendredi, must have been coined by the band as a strange combination of English words and French words.

"A Plea" belongs to the English language, where "En Vendredi" does to the French one.
