You've brightened up my day.

Jokes aside, I'll definitely have to try this smellgood after all the fun in this great thread.

For nice french-canadian women, I'd recommend you come & visit Montreal in the summer. It'll make your head spin, not to mention that the city is really alive during the warm season. Don't forget your smellgood at home, you'll want to make your best impression on the beautiful ladies here

.

If you want to come & visit Quebec city, anytime is good, but there is something magical about it during winter. Taking a walk in the old, still fortified part of the city when it snows is quite an experience.

Although (at least per wikipedia) being founded in 1810, it is listed as the one of the oldest running companies in the US. Number 40. For what it's worth, Stroh's Brewery, since 1775, listed as number one.

It might be ok to pronounce with "American" inflections.

When I want to impress folks with my worldliness and panaché, I pronounce it Pin-odd... In the circles I travel in, no one knows the difference anyway...

That'd be close enough.

However, even amongst French speakers it could differ. Some French speakers pronounce my name Poo-Lahn, some pronounce it Poo-Lane and some pronounce it Poo-Lay-n
