They seem more real on paper vs on a computer screen.

make sure to include a daily summary from in here......that will really make anyone who reads it (aw who i am kidding....no one will ever want to read it) wonder about you if they don't already

Ivan Drago
Leo Tolstoy

It’s almost like we intentionally embargoed Russian culture and influence for half a century……

[TheFrenzy]

To be clear, I think the US is better in almost every way.

Just saying that the statement “I can’t think of any Russian cultural contributions” is literally something we worked hard for.

I don't use any of the online streaming services. I like listening to complete albums as much of the artist's better music was stuff that was not considered "popular" at release.

There is no way to summarize this thread.

I would like to take credit for the Russian post but my brother in law got a hold of my phone when I was outside. I can’t say I disagree with him but I would’ve never posted it. Carry on.

Different crap, different day.

Easy peasy.

ouch....

A man is speaking out following the death of his wife, who suffered chest trauma after being impaled by an umbrella at the beach.

"It was a regular breezy day," M***"a gust of wind that came through took an umbrella through the air and it just kept going and going."

"Everyone says, 'Duck,' and we did, but unfortunately she was in the line of fire," told the outlet. "No other umbrellas or beach blankets or anything got foiled."

Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Oh, wait. It has been more than a half century for them.

I've got nothing.

Makes me wonder who’s had Boo’s phone for the last few years.

Does anybody have any Russian people that were not fictional characters created in the United States. Any mick Jaggerski’s or Bruce Springsteen ski’s or Tom Brady ski’s I hope you get the picture.

Sorry to any Russian people on here this might have offended but I am not really sorry.

Vodka

Mikhail Baryshnikov and ballet in general

nesting dolls

With that being said have any of you ever wandered across any towns that it looked like time stood still and it was something you might have seen when you were a kid.

Have you watched The Founder? Great movie!

Ooo great additions lost the space race no matter how fictional it might have been, when Baryshnikov and ballet can fill a 50,000 seat arena give me a call, I don’t even know what nesting dolls are. Most people in America will take jack daniels over vodka but I do like vodka.
