WTF are you going to do in Russia for 4 months, scout out Russian brides?![]()
As for the flying part, two words...liquor, xanax. When you wake up you'll be there. Just don't pee on people on the plane, they have bathrooms.

When it takes too long for a stewardess to bring you drink, joke about how you'd like to "blow this plane up if I don't get some service now!"
People usually laugh knowingly and it keeps the hired help on their toes. Great way to meet people. Works every time.

Hopefully, you're not that tall. I'm 6'3" and was fairly miserable for the long 8 & 1/2 hour flight from Detroit to Amsterdam and then even more cramped from there to Helsinki.

Protect your finances with your life. There are lots of beautiful Russian women and they are very crafty. BEWARE!

Wednesday August 17,2011
By Will Stewart in Moscow
A DISTRAUGHT mother listened on a mobile phone as her teenage daughter was eaten alive by a brown bear and its three cubs.
Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave an horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls as the wild animals killed her.
She screamed: “Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!’”
Her mother Tatiana said that at first thought she was joking. “But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing.”
She added: “I could have died then and there from shock.”
Unknown to Tatiana, the bear had already killed her husband Igor Tsyganenkov – Olga’s stepfather – by overpowering him, breaking his neck and smashing his skull. Olga, a trainee psychologist, saw the attack on her stepfather in tall grass and reeds by a river in Russia and fled for 70 yards before the mother bear grabbed her leg.
As the creature toyed with her, she managed to call Tatiana several times during the prolonged attack. Tatiana rang her husband – not knowing he was already dead – but got no answer.
She alerted the police and relatives in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, in the extreme east of Siberia.
She begged them to rush to the river where the pair had gone to retrieve a fishing rod that Igor had left.
In a second call, a weak Olga gasped: “Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me”.
Finally, in her last call – almost an hour after the first – Olga sensed she was on the verge of death.
With the bears having apparently left her to die, she said: “Mum, it’s not hurting anymore. I don’t feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much.”
The call cut off and that was the last Tatiana heard from her daughter. Half an hour later, Igor’s brother Andrei arrived with police to find the mother bear still devouring his body. Badly mauled Olga was also dead.
Six hunters were sent in by the emergency services to kill the mother bear and her three cubs.
The double killing is the latest in a spate of bear attacks across Russia, as the hungry animals seek food in areas where people have encroached and settled on their former habitat.
A weeping Tatiana said that Olga had everything to look forward to, and was happy with her life and boyfriend Stepan.
“My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly, and warm,” said Tatiana.
“She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack she got her driving licence.”
Her husband and daughter are due to be buried today.

A guy from work wound up bringing a Russian woman he met through some website over here. He said she sat around and didn't do shit, then all of a sudden there's a kid he knew nothing about and then her mother came. He said he sent them all back.And you're right, it all cost him a small fortune.

I never saw a picture of her or met her. He had intentions of marrying her, but he said she never turned a tap at his house from the day she got there. He became frustrated pretty much immediately.

My one Trans-Atlantic flight to London we got to fly First/Business Class both over and back non-stop. That was cool. My Daughter and Wife are both friends with Delta and US Air employees and we used Delta Buddie Passes. It was standby flying, but if there's a seat you get it and if it happens to be up front even better. We lucked out both trips. On the way home the lady from Delta approched me at check-in, a real PROPER LADY, she said "Excuse me Mr. Fact Finder but we have a small problem", I'm thinking oh shit I'm the one who doesn't get to fly, so I say yes, what's the problem and she says, in the PROPER BRITISH WAY, "Unfortunately Sir we are short one meal on the plane for 1st Class, would you mind flying but eating what they serve in the back of the plane?" I'm like FUCK YES JUST GET ME HOME ELATED and she's all worried I don't want to fly free 1st Class because I "Can't get Proper Service".![]()
Upon boarding they come around and take your order for lunch which was prime roast beef/Shrimp plate with cheese and bread plate with real China and silverware, Champagne, OJ, Some young 18ish pimply faced chick in front of me tells the attendant "Ohhh I don't eat meat, can you get me a cheese pizza and the attendant looks right at me and says, Beef or Shrimp Sir!
BEEF MF'er!
