For about the last week, I’ve been teasing my esteemed colleague Marcel Gagné — Linux Journal’s celebrated Chef Français — after he posted a video of himself on Cooking With Linux speaking perfect English and dressed like an ordinary geek. Given that Marcel is French Canadian and can’t really be expected to wander around wearing a 2′ white hat all the time, it’s not surprising that he speaks perfect English and dresses like a normal person.

However, we all imagine how people we’ve not met will look, act, and sound, and Marcel’s video didn’t match my — somewhat twisted, I’ll admit — mental creation. So, he’s had to suffer through being picked on for not being “a real mad French chef.”

Since I’ve given him so much heck about his video, I thought it was only right for me to provide video demonstrating what my overactive imagination had cooked up. It took me a while to find what I was looking for, but here it is: A Real Mad French Chef. (Skip to about four minutes in for the good stuff.)

This, Marcel, this is what a Mad French Chef is supposed to be like!

So now you know, that’s what I was expecting, that’s why my hopes were dashed. Now I suppose I’ll meet Carlie and find out she really isn’t a Scotch-drinking, cigar-smoking Hugh Hefner type….

   Okay, that was weird. Even by my standards.
