And what happens when they have to leave their hovel with all that cash to make a deposit? I can't imagine they can afford an armored car for a pickup. If the neighborhood is so dangerous that you need a damn moat to do business, I would be terrified on bank deposit day.


They probably have Vlad and Big Ivan come around to "help out" and ensure they are "protected" when it comes to moving the money, if you know what I mean.

Mafia. I mean Mafia.

Actually, my personal favorite is Poe. And you could probably read all of the stories I mentioned in the earlier comment in a day or two. But this is about your personal preference. A Connecticut Yankee is cultural satire and is kind of timeless. Sawyer and Finn are coming of age stories - quite good, though a bit dated. They are certainly more often included in American Lit classes.

Look at that - you can read all three (and Poe and others) right here.

Gotcha. So you wouldn't start with Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer or something higher profile? I've literally read none of them.

I meant that even if you don't especially enjoy a classic novel, you haven't completely wasted your time - you're still probably better off for having read it. But yeah, enjoyment of a book - just like music, food, and art - is all about personal taste. I've read very little Russian literature, basically for fear of exactly the same reaction as yourself. (Oddly, though, I did enjoy A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, which is about as depressing and plodding as you can imagine.) If you're not fond of the Russians, there are some Americans you should probably avoid too - Faulkner, Steinbeck and some (not all!) of the other early 20th century writers probably first among them.

Well, I'm not sure you can't go wrong with classics. I guess it comes down to taste in the end, but I found myself bored to tears with Russian classics, for example. I'm somewhat embarassed to say I just couldn't get through Crime and Punishment - it had no pace, for mine. As someone well read, this is probably sacrilege to you, but then I found the Lord of the Rings trilogy similarly overcooked.

Hey Ivan, buy some 4 dollar earplugs.

Ivan, I thought I told you not to use the goose-flavoured Windex on the fox pen...

Lol...yes, Ivan Maximov has a few wild animations. Crazy stuff, and I definately agree with you.

What is this I dont even...


Srsly though, this entire video had epic sexual undertones.

Just outside soviet russia, fortunately for Ivan Mládek or he would still be in jail for some of his jokes, popular lately in poland but not quite polish, please keep in mind this is almost 40 years old. It is funny in czech, not just weird, Mládek was actually fairly mainstream in the seventies and has spawned a revival band. My sister went to school with Ivo Pešák´s daughter - yes the dancing guy. The other man i remember for lambchops from back then is Emerson Fittipaldi, to put this into perspective.

Pro Boxing is much more dangerous than Amateur, which is more about scoring points. Like fencing.

Carbon Leaf - The Boxer comes to mind.

No return. No passion left to burn.
The Boxers grow weary.
Their eyesight...blurry, blurry view.

He is a better boxer than me so I say:
Kill it with FIRE!!!
Or perhaps a sword duel would be a better choice as "there can be only one" Ivan Drago!
But seriously I frown on this because of the ramifications for the kid when he gets in a fight with other kids his age and gives some poor kid a concussion or a broken nose. He is three and will do what he has seen and been taught, he doesn't get the problems with it as he is too young to have developed those regions of the brain yet.
And as a boxer he might never develop it, too many hits in the noggin aint good for the brain

Work on that foot work, keep your chin down.
I frown on this, what happens if the kid breaks a metacarpal, trust me that sucks not matter what age you are.
