Well... I don't have my French/English dictionary down here, but when I googled it it didn't know what "laterne" was and offered "lanterne" instead. So if that's what you mean...

"a la lanterne les aristocrates" means "with the lantern aristocrats."

Might wanna get a second opinion from someone who didn't use the google translator.

Well "A la laterne, les aristocrats" is a phrase from the french revolution. Basically it means "To the light, aristocrats". It was kinda of the motto for the peasants. Down with the aristocracy, and all that jazz.

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

SPEW, it's like Pat Buchanan, think about it.
