Did Dilsby just sarcasm?

We won't really know until he tastes her noms bourguignon, will we?

Krysler building? I was just at the (Kerbulan) Empire State building yesterday.

Awesome ship, btw. It just gets better and better!

Thanks! Ah, you missed me by a bit, we're going to NYC at the end of the week. Yes, the other Intrepid is on our list of sights :)

Well, how much crawfish and, more importantly, Tabasco, Zatarain's, and Tony Chacere did you pack?  Otherwise, it'll be a very long trip even with a French chef :D

Hopefully if Bill can synthesize ethanol from ore, Bob can grow caspaicin in a greenhouse...but come to think of it, given that the greenhouses are directly between the main bank of LV-Ns and the fission reactors, any peppers they grow there will be pretty "hot" regardless. :)

How so? I don't think any eveidence exists showing what kind of french Clauselle speaks...

I guarantee you couldn't place her dialect anywhere in the real world based on the kind of French I write. 

But I think Dman may have been referring to the style of food to which Geschosskopf alluded--Tabasco and crawfish don't show up in French cuisine per se, but they are a vital component of the cuisine of certain French-speaking parts of the US where a man might have to have a standing policy on what to do about venomous snakes on his property.

Yup, Kuzzter nailed it. Even took the words right out of my post.

Ahh ! La Louisiane française ! Il's un dialecte tous il's propre!

Clauselle doit avoir vécu dans les domaines de Kerbin cajun?

Well no, I never meant her to be a Cajun. It's just that my French is so terrible that whatever version she speaks isn't one found among actual human francophones. :) Canonically, all we know is that she went to L'Ecole Polykerbique, which would tend to indicate the author's intent that she's from some analogue of continental France. 

Melbe's home, on the other hand, might at least neighbor 'Kajun' country. We've never established where she learned to speak French Frankais, and of course her particular dialect of Kerblish is indicative of certain areas of the United States where large hats are worn and trucks are driven for sport. In all honesty, the only reason she (canonically) can speak French is that I once did a Marseillaise/tricolor gag and I needed someone with a blue speech balloon to be able to translate for Clauselle. :)

I loved Val saying 'This is sooo COOOOL!'.  Her expression matches perfectly.

Thanks! My daughter made the same comment, and I told her that sometimes I write the dialogue first and try to get an expression that matches, but sometimes it happens the other way around. This panel was one of the latter kind :)

Or Canada. École Polytechnique is a school in Montréal. 

YEAH, We have the Kerbal version of Roberta Bondar on board! This is sooo COOOOL! (as Valentina would say).

Is that a pot of gumbo? Looks very impressive :) Certainly better than potatoes with ketchup LOL.

Yup, nominally seafood gumbo, although there's also some sausage and no telling what other types of critters mixed into the brown muck.  It's usually best not to ask what's in gumbo :D

Whoop, sorry to burst the happy bubble, but I just remembered something. May I remind everyone of the effects of the Kappa-Kerbfleet crossover? 90 days, and they'll be gone!

pretty sure klenlie fixed that when he reset the monolith. either that or that's when the kermulans come into play
