Those must be the famous French baguette worms.

Quatre vers

In America it would be a can of worms. (Or a can of Franco American spaghetti)

Remember: it may be the early bird that gets the worm but it is the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Birdy num num!

LOL!

lève tôt

I have this vision of the artist mumbling “Got to be REALLY careful with this drawing” over and over again as he drew that basketful. I salute you sir.

The old Schwinn Phantom floats on air.

Chainwheel and cog on the wrong side, pedals off balance… Other than that, sort of funny.

It was many years ago, but I visited Paris when I lived in Munich – the “fast train” is just that! In front of many shops baskets of bread were placed, waiting to be brought in when the shop owners arrived. I thought “how amazing”! How is it that these are safe from theft? I wonder if that delivery practice is still used?

Those worms all look the same…you can barely clitellum apart.

I hope baguette to see this little birdie again.

The worms seem to be enjoying the ride and the view. Perhaps they’ll have the same fate as the oysters in “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” but actually they seem of a size capable of putting up a good fight…

that’s one horny bird

Those worms look like they have something surgically removed from the tip of their heads.

Is he in the Tour de France?
