"In France, Candide is considered a national hero, because he often retreats and cannot be found."
 
i just googled french retreat, i think they are talking about how the french never stay in wars and shit. idk about the frog and gummie bear part tho. candide's run was ill, deffinatly deserved 1st.
 
joke was in frogs (french) kangaroos (new zealand) and gummi bears (not sure where) were in the contest....and then the rest is not appropriate considering im french. fucking punks, if i was there whoever wrote that would have gotten a nnice punch in the face from me.
 
I don't think the author of this thread knows what it means to "get served."

"In France, Candide is considered a national hero, because he often retreats and cannot be found."

Candide "often retreats"? Please explain that one to me. Candide brings it in every comp and film segment he does.

I assume this has something to do with the fact that he's fairly private and doesn't do a lot of interviews. Personally, I like him more for that fact. While I love Tanner Hall, the skier, I could give a fuck about Tanner Hall, the Provo-posse-prop-giving, ankle-brake-overcoming, mircophone-blowjobbing individual.
 
Yeah i read that and found it kinda of akward and not very proffesional. They said a couple of other things about other riders too.
 
kangaroo is the kangaroo flip i htink frogs are probably the french and gummy bears are soemhting eXpn invented to be cool. how all those things are competing in slopestyle
 
Candide is known for being softspoken and a bit reclusive and has a

history of accidentally missing medal ceremonies. The French military has a history of retreating. Therefore, it's

absolutely hilarious to state that Candide often retreats and cannot be found.
 
If you look at the pictures there is one:

"Charles Gagnier calls this trick an "octo-grab" because it resembles an octopus. We don't have the heart to point out that there's only six arms here."

I don't know why they write the shittiest possible captions for skiing photos...it happened last year too. I can just see these idiots sitting around a table giggling like girls at their amazing wit.
 
Fair enough. I guess I just don't see what the actual criticism of Candide is here.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't expect journalistic excellence from EXPN.
 
thats gunna be more ironic when you guys pull out of iraq eventually. its like vietnam 2, the new batch.
 
frogs (candides outfit) kangaroos (olssons flip) and gummie bears (Sammy's diet) and the french part is because they can't stay in wars and they are mocked up to be a bunch of pussies, a stereotype you could say.
 
When will American journalists understand that there is something else to be proud of in a country than its army? Seriously, french bashing is getting old ;)

 
isnt it because a couple years ago he got 2nd in a comp and didnt show up for the cerimonies and left and 2 weeks later was at the beach in brazil or sum shyt
 
meh, everyone disses on everyone nowadays. I mean, hell there are people who stick up for the terrorists...oops, sorry I mean insurgents.

french jokes aside, Candide is amazing. I'd rather have him represent out sport than Tanner when it comes to public speaking.
 
you hurd about the new french tank... 2 speed foward 16 reverse! haaaa

french people are people tooo. but french canunks have no soul and have yellow goo in place of blood
 
Making fun of France is funny, but making fun of France for their stance in Iraq is kind of baseless... we're in a big military disaster now and they're not. The point was though, this joke is dumb, that tank joke above was way funnier.
 
Candide also disappears off the Map for a while in the major skiing eyes then decides. then gives us his invitational, where he doesn't retreat
