There's apparently a town a bit to the South-East of Paris called "Saint-Just-Sauvage" that has a Rue Robespierre. Actually, there are a lot of towns around Paris with one. So why not Paris, eh? EH? None of the others have such interesting names though. I fail to understand why they would name their town Saint-Just-Sauvage," though... O.o Maybe there is a Saint-Just-Apprivoisé someplace.

It would seem for the most part, to continue on the theme, that there are several towns with Rues Robespierre in Nord-Pas-de-Calais (unsurprisingly), several towns around Paris also do, and then randomly one near Brest and another few near Lyon. But that's it. 

And meanwhile, they still refuse to name any street in Paris after him. Most likely on the grounds that he was OMGTEHBLOODTHIRSTYDICTATOR!!!111!!1! Which I find truly ironic, since there is a Rue Bonaparte in Paris and Bonaparte actually *was* a bloodthirsty dictator. (Or if he didn't have a direct thirst for blood his thirst for personal glory definitely spilled a lot of it.) What's up with that? I don't understand why they don't just give him one of Haussman's; after all he doesn't deserve isn't using it. 

And WTF, there's a Rue de Médecis?! And damn, La Fayette's got a huge boulevard! Are the people who decide the street names in Paris completely unaware that he tried to set himself up as military dictator twice and massacred innocent Parisian citizens?! Then again, since there's a Rue Bonaparte, I suppose they don't care.

....I give up. ;______;

Actually, I spoke too soon: there's an Avenue Robespierre in a town near Toulon called La Garde.

Yes. I'm sure death and un-death are somewhat altering experiences.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Yes. They probably are. >_> Obviously there need to be more experiments in that area before we know for sure.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not starting with Victor Hugo...?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

No. But we still have to figure out how to zombify other people.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

I seem to remember speculating on that point some time in the recent past...
...Which would put us back at square one. >__

[josiana.livejournal.com]

...;_____________;

At least we know how to zombiefy Victor Hugo. Um.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

I suppose this means we'll have to start with him after all. *sighs*

[josiana.livejournal.com]

...>__>;; Er. Well, at least it's practically impossible to kill zombies.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Who would try to kill zombie!Victor Hugo? You would have to be a pretty bad person to kill Victor Hugo no matter how decayed he was, I should think.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Um. I dunno. Rabid fundamentalists might, because of the whole undead thing. I agree. ;____;

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

*sighs* Them again. Poor Victor Hugo. :(

[josiana.livejournal.com]

They ruin everything. :( At least we love him. In our own twisted way.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

*sighs* What's the non-twisted way of loving him?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Er. The way that does not involve doing horribly warped things to his characters, presumably.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

But where would the fun be in that?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. ;-;

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Precisely my point.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Do you always have a point? ;___;

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Usually. Is that bad? -__-;

[josiana.livejournal.com]

No. ;___; I just wondered.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Why? Because, as you have said, you often don't?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Yes. ;-; I'm thinking of trying to incorporating it into my Eclectic Bohemian Lifestyle With Lots Of White Face Paint (TM), but that just makes me sound pretentious. And I'm not sure not making sense can be an artistic statement anyway.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

You can make an artistic statement out of anything; people have, and do.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Oh, well in that case... :D
