The thing I love about the genius grants is that it alwasy seems like someone I know could win one. Not me though. But that's okay.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

All Czechs are crazy, is the conclusion I've made from my totally non-random sampling of Czechs.
The two things I know that the Czechs are famous for are beer and hockey players. There may be a connection here.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
paperdol, good for you for drawing a line. It's hard, but it's necessary.
They just don't have that paprika dignity of the Czechs.
(I'm so using Pilsner dignity from now on.)
We have dignity? Cool. I thought we were just a bunch of deeply individualistic quarrelsome types, with a tendency to throw people out of windows to prove a point.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Clearly I meant Pilsner Dignity.

I'm sure it will be offensive, but you are kind of right. It is a country with many crazy people. Their "pilsner dignity" kind of encapsulates the problem right there.

Probably not-- all my classes were in a building on Jungmannova, about midway between Vaclavske nam. and Tesco.
Most of ours were at the FFUK building at Jan Palacha nam. And I think the Tesco was still KMaj.

Don't forget the Velvet Revolution.
Also, dude! Beer+hockey=Canada! I thought everyone knew that. Beer+hockey+art=Czech.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Also, if a smug jackhole is going to write a wrongheaded and untruthful review based on nothing but his own opinions on matters he was never privvy to on Amazon? Spell my fucking name right. I mean, it's right THERE.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
