Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Eastern European doctors are usually very good but possessed of unnervingly tiny privacy zones
When I was at this club (Propanganda, for those keeping track) in Moscow, a woman sat on my barstool. Not that I'm being overly proprietary to call it mine -- I was sitting on it at the time. I made the culturally ignorant error of leaning towards others in my party, and baring half the seat. She paid no attention to the fully empty stools, sat on the clear half, and completely ignored me.
My experience with Russian men involved one who, during the Gorbachev era, proudly claimed "I am anti-communist!" and one who jokingly shouted "I love you, let's go to America!" So, um, yeah, more forward. Definitely.
The most forthright Russian guy I've ever encountered was on the other side of a vast cultural gulf -- he was repeating "I love niggers!" to us with such glee I thought he was going to wet himself.
All the Russians I've known were members of my family. I thought it was just, you know, them. Or us. Not that that's me. I don't think.
Anyway, not much for the filter between brain and mouth, in my experience.

Ah ha. Like the young woman I met who was so happy to tell us "my parents were Cossacks!" She didn't realize I'm Jewish.
Timelies all!
Need sleep...

I'm stuck here for at least twenty more minutes while this upload finishes.

I like Lisah's CD a lot. I am not musically literate enough to write good reviews, however. But, you know, supporting a "hometown girl"...and they are fun songs.

Oh dear. That's like the guy who was trying to pick me up once and slipped about 3 unprovoked anti-Semetic remarks into a 10 minute conversation. I myself am not Jewish, but most of my closest relatives aside from Mom & Dad are.
I only wish I hadn't been too flabbergasted to think of toasting "l'chayim!"
