Why They Won't Let Seattlest Leave Biarritz

Seems the concierge where Seattlest is hanging out this the weekend (courtesy of the French Government Tourist Office, merci beaucoup), the elegant Hotel du Palais overlooking the Bay of Biscay, doesn't want to put all his Basques in one exit.

What in the world are you talking about? Are you referring to Basques as the people or article of clothing, or something else?

Brappy, you're not alone. I don't understand pretentious, either.

Was there supposed to be a joke in here somewhere? If you're going to brag about your junket to France, at least it should be well written. Otherwise I don't see you getting any further opportunities.

Mildly interesting that three anonymous commenters should express similar annoyance with one of the dumbest puns in the English language.

Point being, how could we post from the Basque country and pass up the "Basques in one exit" line?

Of course I noticed the pun. I may be anonymous, but I'm not an idiot. My point is that it has absolutely nothing to do with the photo, which represents the vast majority of the post. The implication of having a very few lines of text below a photo is that those lines are a caption, and therefore should clarify, comment or expand upon the image. If that wasn't what you wanted to do, at least the pun should have been set up better.

Don't know why I'm so grumpy. Jealousy, perhaps.

Ronald, why are you in France?
