David B.'s La Bombe Familiale as translated by Edward Gauvin for Words Without Borders.

It's a match made in heaven. One wonders if they know each other? A commenter on the latter, one "Big Billy" asks a good question:
What if a pair of opposing hypocrits (where one says one thing and doesw [sic] the other, and the other says the other and does the one thing) team up? As a human, I find it impossible to constantly avoid hypocrasy [sic], so why not pair up and embrace out hypocritical natures, and then we can really progress, right? My partner will do my work for me while I do his work for him. We will both get our jobs done while approaching more exagerated extremes.
But then again, we're probably better off if you just call me an idiot too.
In this our quest, for the ultimate blog brevity I then leave it to you, dear eater, to draw your own excursions. For it is a black and white world, with the Author sitting f'evern top (ever'n especially whilst claiming the bottom!) and we was only ever kiddin', once Hugh challenged e to a duel.
A duel, e says! At dawn, no less. E dunno, somehow "be offended, but say so" just don't 'ave the same ring to it. An' sometimes it be da fools who call idiots, "idiots" best.
