I can read the Cyrillic alphabet, but I don’t know any of the languages that use it.
When I saw the move 2010 (way back in ‘84), I apparently was the only one in the theater who could read Cyrillic, ‘cause I was the only one who laughed when the Russian space pod had the name “ГРАМПА” written on it.
Runar, I read it as “Grampee.” I puzzled over that, then later on asked my Russian teacher about it. She laughed and said “Grumpy!” Which makes me wonder if the Leonov carried six more of those pods.
Although maybe “Grampy” was paired with a “Betty Boop” pod.
“Memo to: Teresa BurrittFrom: UsDate: March 3, 2010Subject: Dying
There is no dying in Frog Applause.
On a completely unrelated note: I’m in my 36th year in the field of law, and pretty sure that incarcerated is OUR word (strangulation too). Why would a profession with a lexicon that includes halux valgus, witzelsucht, and trichotillomania need to appropriate words from the criminal justice system to describe a medical condition? What has the poor colon ever done to doctors except serve as a profit center for them?”
Is it GoComics or the internet that seems to be overloaded?
Comics seem to be loading slower and slower lately…….
BTW, the aquarium was absolutely mesmerizing–make sure to punch it up to 720p / fullscreen. A keeper.
Thanks T.
Teresa, that Panty quilt video is too much. He went all out, especially the requirement for no polyester ones. I hear those farmers’ daughters are mighty outraged.

Teresa- Is the photo of the sailing ship and full moon in the public domain? I’d like to use it for the cover of my next book.

Ushindi, does that make ST2 a bad person?
