David Stafford: History repeats itself over and over again

Before we get on to the real story, let me say that David's card was received here in Paris with great laughs.  Yes, it arrived the same time as this publicity from Danoe.However, unlike David's card, Danoe sent me a coupon for 60 cents off the next time I buy one of their yogurts. Seriously, if for some reason I had to choose between them, I would, I would, I would pick David's card of course.  But that 60 cents coupon is mighty tempting.

Now back to the feature story; History repeats itself over and over again.The key word here is "darkness".  Oh please, not again.  Let there be light.

Thank you again David, Very entertaining as always.  I can't wait for the battle of the minds.

2:23am somehow I just knew I should not have read this before going to bed.  I may have nightmares now.

But you are correct, you just got it backwards; potatoes are made from yogurt.  But that might be A Europe thing.

08.10.15 Dare Mister Dean Aka, ... OH, it's perfectly okay. ...perhaps I should apologize. But of course, we Ameri"cons"  (the leftovers of European penal justice) are always one (or two) step(s) behind & or just plainly "got it all backwards". It is perhaps most obviously apparent when it comes to the subject of  epicurean delights. For instance , I never knew that yogurt was made from potatoes. ... I suppose what I'm not really saying here is that my greatest fear right now are issues like  Donald Trump representing Amerikah's idea of sophistication & wisdom & or soon I won't be able to afford just being an ex-patriot in my own country.... & so it goes or doesn't. What do I know? I signed up for a yogart class just so I could put my foot in my mouth. Since Riley, Richard Canard

OH sorry I didn't see the political angle on this one.  I see now that the singing grass are suppose to be Congressmen.  How clever!

In France they are often represented as potatoes.   This is where the potato head game was invented.

07.10.15 Dare Mister In Seine & Mister David Stafford,...I am of the opinion that just because of the common understanding  "Anything goes!" in mail art--- it doesn't  really mean "anything."  Politics has no place in mail art. Mail Art is about real life & trivia. Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that while I  am normally a fan of David Stafford's mailings , I am also appreciative of coupons (they are as good as money). ... & oh yes, I am a fan of yogurt (yogart) as well. ... & Greek yogurt is the indeed the best ---but  don't get the sugary kind as I hear that sugar isn't good for you despite the fact that they put it everything anyway. Ave uh nez dae. Richard Canard .........Post Scriptum: Is it true that David Stafford wears a Squash Blossum necklace?

'Lovin the page from ye ol' manuscript!

(though Danoe yogurt is good, too, but FAGE is the best Greek yogurt :-)
