I've known for many years that Julia Child had been a spy.

Julia knew leftover shredded secrets make a lovely veal gravy

"Save the liver".

This is old, old, old news, known for more than a decade.

Best SNL bit I ever saw as Dan Akroyd as Julia Childs.

I laughed so hard some snot came out my nose.

Wow, look what I found!!

Dateline 6 November 1942
It has come to this reporter's attention that a ring of American citizens including soldiers, actors, historians, lawyers, athletes, professors and reporters have been working for a secret government spy organization called the 'OSS'. Among these spies is celebrity cook Julia Child!!

-Bobby Novak, age 11, Joliet, IL

That's where I got the idea for 'shredded secrets make a lovely veal gravy".

Ackroyd was genius in that role.

And stay tuned for news reports of WWII ending with the bombing of Nagasaki

Among these spies is celebrity cook Julia Child!!

Julia Child was never a spay. She was a low level muffin maker who everyone knew worked for the OSS.

Maybe mom didn't read Rasty's hilarious post to you, about Rightwing Idol Novak's outing if another spy. As for unrelated postings, what does Nagasaki have to do with Julia Child spying on Germans? Japan and germany are different countries, you know.

As for unrelated postings, what does Nagasaki have to do with Julia Child spying on Germans?

Another joke that has to be explained. *sigh* As I said before, they aren't as funny, but I'll explain it anyway:

It wasn't Nagasaki per se, it was the end of WWII I was referring to. Julia Child being a spy is not news. It was known during WWII that she was a spy. So I was making a joke that I had more "news": "News" that WWII ended.

Get it?

Fuck, you're dense.

HAW HAW HAW HAW!!!!!

It would be funny, rasta, but I already used that line of joke. It's not so funny if you just changed a few words and used it again. But that's what the brainless do when originality fails them, I guess. They have to insert a laugh track too, I see. Carry on.

Another joke that has to be explained.

If it has to be explained, then it ain't funny no matter how much you want it to be.

Don't give up your day job.

Julia herself mentioned her hitch with the OSS in The French Chef, published in 1968.

Today's reporters really ought to be taught the definition of the word "news" before they're turned loose.

If it has to be explained, then it ain't funny no matter how much you want it to be.

I guess that's one feeble attempt to save face rather than to admit you are too dense to understand a joke. That's like someone telling Julia Child herself "don't give up your day job" because they can't tell the difference between a 1948 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild and Gallo.

Don't give up your day job.

I won't. It pays better than a stand up comedian job.

FF 4 North!

Everyone knew who she was....she couldn't have been covert!

Food Channels' long running Bio on Julia goes into this chapter of her life in depth. Her HUSBAND was more of a spy than she ever was. She was basically a glorified secretary, decoding and filing.

The last thing she ever expected to be was a chef. She was a rich daddy's girl out of Pasadena California, who got bored and moved to Europe for some fun. When she met her husband, she knew nothing about food. In fact, he hated her cooking!

He encouraged her to join a french cooking group of women while they were staitioned in Paris. Julia was terrible at it, but she saw an opportunity to put together a cookbook with her friends. This is when she began to study french cooking intensively.

Ultimately she became the Cheffizzle of the Osso Bucizzles - and I adored her 'style'!

They should make my wife a spy. She would slaughter them with that turkey tetrazini shit she makes. 'Aw, Turkey Tetrazini, So good,,,,Ah, choke, gag, plunk, dead.

"Everyone knew who she was....she couldn't have been covert!"

Commonsense:

You know, I do wish you'd live up to your moniker every once in a while, just to show you can do it....

....Wubbya Wubbya Two was a good twenty years before Ol' Julyer got famous. By her own admission, she couldn't even cook then.

Nobody knew who she was then, because she wasn't anybody yet.

I guess it would be a total smoke screen to fool anyone who talked with her.

That voice of hers--that whatever accent she had!

AU--didn't Ackroyd do a Janet Reno? Or was that really Janet Reno?

I think that was the Eleanor Roosevelt accent

Talking about old SNL impersonations: My all time favorite was John Belushi doing Joe Cocker with Joe Cocker. That was a classic.

......what were you saving it for ?.......

I hear Wolfgang Puck is on the German payroll.

Julia Child Spied fer the USOSS?

Moe Berg unimpressed.

Unlike Obama, the French chef was fluent in French. Hell, before WWII 75% of the population of Cincinnati spoke German fluently.

Don't forget Glenn Miller! He was died accidentally in Nazi captivity and the whole plane crash story was faked. He was spying in a big way.
