Buskers à Paris
I had myself a wee break in Paris last weekend. Man, that is one amazing capital. The French certainly know how to knock-up a good looking city. ‘Twas vibrant too. Being English means that I’m automatically supposed to hate the French. However, that’s never been the case and I really love the French lifestyle. Would trade Paris for London any day. The only problem with Paris is that it was far too many American tourists! 
Anyway, as Skoal put in a request, I happened to spot some funky French buskers. It started off as a rather normal guitar player. Bit boring in many respects. Then, out of nowhere, some bloke turns up with two wooden spoons and starts drumming away on a post. He the man!

Wanna trade ? I’m a french dude and I don’t especially like Paris. But, for some kind of reason, I do like London

Holy smokes! That’s be bopping it down French busker style.
You really gotta admire a guy beating on a bed post with a plastic egg beater and a wooden spoon, dressed in combat boots and pajamas. I can see it now…
“Eh, non! (throwing back sheets in bed) Eeets ten past eight ayn monsieur guitaristo needs me at eight! Oye, love! Werez me knickers?! (hopping on one foot while tying a boot and heading for the kitchen) And me drums?! never ye mind! (grabs whatever utensils he can from a drawer) Ah! Ah! (wraps both hands around a bed post and hulks it off as splinters shoot like missles) au revoir lovE!”
(fashion criminal man arrives on scene and tosses a cig at a potted plant)
“Ah, monsieur! Lez do this!” (starts bopping on the bed post while humming to himself) “da do dah dah do dah do”
(monsieur guitaristo man stops mid chord and mumbles under his breath)
“Damn eet all to ell! Jus wheen I was making me euro for a foot pedal and a bigger amp too!”
I can see now why Paris is the fashion capital of the world. They’re always in a hurry and dress when they can, with what they can, and pull it off like no one else can. Creativity baby! Seriously. This guy’s giving me ideas here. When I’m done with this post, I’m gonna see what my old MC Hammer parachute pants look like with my canary yellow Members only jacket. I’ll head on up to the bars and talk in my best French accent. The chicks will dig it!
Man, your busker pics are better than an Art museum roo. Keep ‘em coming…
