(----) in Russia Vol. 35


The giant cock of Vladimir Putin rolls towards Red Square during Moscow's Victory Day celebration parade.


You've seen a few shots of this dumpster over the past year or so. Most people leave things here for the homeless: old clothes, food, shoes...Rubix cubes.




Lando Calrissian's Moscow penthouse.


Some kids going apeshit over the Victory Day fireworks.



And now a short example of how even the most marginalized former pop stars still have a chance (and a paycheck) in Moscow:

(their concert was, in true fashion, delayed by 2 hours)




Starting to be a bit of a stretch....


...and BAM! Bottom of barrel scraped. This summer, we've also had Billy Idol, one of the members of Chicago, Megadeth, Seal, Limp Bizkit, the guitar player from Korn who became a Christian and quit the band, Fear Factory, that band with those dudes from Sepultura, The White Octave, V.Sirin, Cold Sides and Weavexxx.


Dmitry Bedderhead's career modeling for Russian ads is flourishing.




Dominos at the dacha.


The Russian version of the Nut Sack.


Interior of Russian Nut Sack.


It would make sense that there would be a camel on the outskirts of Moscow, right?


I showed up too early at a show I was supposed to play and got roped into jamming with a jew's harp trio that was opening for headliner of the evening's first concert, which was running very late. This is what happened when they asked me to do something in the style of "drum and bass."


And this is who our impromptu collective opened for...Sevara Nazarkhan, one of Uzbekistan's most famous pop stars. Note world's most excited percussionist.

----------------------------
35?! That's bullshit. That's not even MILF age. Real Cougz gots grandkids.
----------------------------
no, Dragons have grandkids. or Panthers. Dragons are closer to death, actually. but they have the most experience....
----------------------------
I just don't think 35yr olds that sex up teens or 20-somethings deserve this, or any, special nomenclature. Though I'm sure 35 could seem gross to 16yr olds, it's just not gross or funny or unusual enough. Call them Dragons or Panthers, just don't call them anything if the ages aren't sufficiently sick. I feel strongly about this.
----------------------------
How about the fact that the young men are called Cubs? Is this a
nationwide phenomenon or just because it's taking place in Chicago?
----------------------------
Yeah, no. Thirty-five year olds are just adults who have sex with people. If the person they are ****ing is really young, the proper name is "sexual predator" or "incarcerated." American culture is brain dead and exhausting to be a part of.
I remember reading an article in the New York Times about 8 or 9 years ago about "cougars." This was my first exposure to the term and it meant a woman, about 60 or so, who was rich and single (divorced or widowed) who got down with hot young men. Basically like the female version of a Hugh Hefner. Since then, the constant reduction of the age is ****ing unbearable. 35?!?!? **** you America, **** you Chicago, **** you ***damn Hollywood and television and magazines and the Internet. All of you can eat a bucket of knife filled vomit. I am so ****ing tired of this ****.
AMERICA: GO BACK TO SCHOOL, READ A BOOK AND STOP BEING A NAVEL GAZING, ENTITLED, **** HOLE SWARMING WITH MAGGOTS.
Ugh.
(This does not apply to you guys, but everyone else.)
----------------------------
Amen (pronounced with a short "a").
----------------------------
Amen with a long a. Also, I happened to watch a few minutes of Good Morning America the other day, looking for soccer. Don't ever do that.
----------------------------
here's something that we can be thankful to America for:

----------------------------
Yes!
----------------------------
Why did Sci-Fi change is name to SyFy?
----------------------------
To remove the science fiction connotations and broaden its appeal.
