Good. Hope they all blow up, especially if Pootnik is on board!

In Soviet Russia, airport bombs you!


Sad to see though, those Tu-95s are really neat looking birds and given who they are bombing lately, I think I can comfortably cheer for them.

 

[mscard88]

Yeah they're bombing the ones who the USA is spending mega bucks on.

Well it's not the Russians fault that our leaders are idiots.

A Russian doesn't take a dump without a plan.

How do you get a crew to want to get off a submarine?

How do you get a crew to want to get off a nuclear submarine?

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

(I had this on my door of my office after the last corporate reorg I experienced. I didn't realize how clairvoyant that really was. A third of the company (including me) was canned the next November.
