AggieDave 6 #4 February 16, 2010 We've had a few groups of Russian foreign university students come through the DZ. Each time I have to ask them "how do you say 'it's a good day to drink vodka' in Russian?" Each time they say something to the effect of "you wouldn't say that, its a given, you just pour vodka..." --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

riddler 0 #5 February 16, 2010 If everyone does it, it's not a problem. That's like saying Americans have a problem eating ice cream. Even Yeltsin was a raging drunk, and he ran the darn country for a number of years. Dude had a gin-blossom and everything.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Niki1 1 #8 February 16, 2010 From the time I could walk, my greatest thrill was to find a big hill or new pile of dirt. Get to the top and jump off. That second or two of freefall was what I iived for. The bigger the hill, the better. I've always liver in the south so I don't know anything about that kind of snow. I wouldn't have gone first but I probably would have gone. When I was younger.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
