Those were the days. Reminded me of when I was once in the Russian Military Attaches in London, supping Wodka (don't ask) and watching a popular TV show featuring rock music. Robert Plant and Led Zep was on, all big hair and velvet trousers. A Russian official looked sternly at the screen and then said, `Not allowed in my country`. I said, `What, this TV show?` He said, `No, this man`. Hilarious.
OK, now I feel really old!
ReplyDeleteI hear SCTV (Socialist Control TV) is working on a new, similar show. It's called what falls under Obama's control.
ReplyDelete(insert rimshot here)
Inno, you ARE really old. So am I.
ReplyDeleteSchmoe, in Obama's mind, the entire universe falls under his control.
ReplyDeleteIts not often that your hear or see something funny that has anything to with Russia. Nice one, sir : )
ReplyDeleteLong horn anti Leninists of Texas.
ReplyDeleteI like the guy's crazy hair. Funny.
Powdergirl, do you mean to say that you don't think Yakov Smirnoff is funny?
ReplyDeleteOpie, I have the very same hair. In a drawer somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI was tracking with it until he dissed Texas. Man, that pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteHa!.. I remember when Dave Thomas was that young. I didn't have any grey hair AT ALL, then. :)
ReplyDeleteDC... Dissed? Hardly. He was simply pointing out that Texas was sorta like the pancreas of the USSR. A compliment really.
ReplyDeletePal, that was a funny show with some talented folks. We were all youngsters then.
ReplyDeleteDC, you ARE a long-horn anti Leninist, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteOpie, I couldn't help but notice you chattin' with Karl Rove on Twitter. DC will be upset. He and Karl have a history.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's funny. I wonder how he gets away with it...

ReplyDeleteWe all owe Guy Caballero a debt of gratitude for such high-quality programming.
ReplyDeleteDC, I didn't realize Texas was so small.
ReplyDeletePowdie, he knew a guy at the Politburo who had pictures of Andropov with a Romanian sheepherder.
ReplyDeleteHogday... Potato juice with the Ruskies?? You, Sir, are a walking talking history lesson.
ReplyDeleteWoody
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase Norma: Texas isn't small... the rest of the world got too bloated.
Rhod, I believe full credit must go to Edith Prickley.
ReplyDeleteWoody, don't get me started ... I can't believe the disrespect. Texas is bigger than Russia. They taught me that in my Texas Geography class.
ReplyDeleteNotice, however, how Texas was placed in there with other nations? Of course.
Texas just looked so lonely there without Oklahoma sitting on top of it.
ReplyDeleteDC, go to "Self Evident Truths" and learn about your education in Geography.
ReplyDeleteOdie, I am still trying to recover from that blast by Nick. Et tu Goomba?
