  • Bonking Boris. I love the Mirror.
  • speaking of boris, whatever happened to yeltsin?
  • He reminds me a bit of James Trafficant.
  • And whatever happenned to moose and squirrel?
  • And Natasha?
  • "Oh honey, it looks like you have moose AND squirrel in there..." best. karen. line. ever.
  • "There are hundreds of people dying in Iraq," he admonished them as he made for his car. "Go write a proper story." seriously
  • I will be going as soon as I can next week to apologise in person for the offence I have caused, and to listen in a spirit of complete humility to local people. This is a remarkable statment. It's got to be pretty difficult to dislike someone who is totally takes the blame for their mistakes without trying to excuse it or distribute the blame somehow. And I agree with him on the victim thing. It's sorta like how people in texas feel like they were a victim on 9-11.
  • "Tremendous, little short of superb, on cracking form." I think it's all part of a cunning plan, actually...
  • The title of this post is possibly the first Pushkin reference on this filter, although I may have missed others. Unless it's nod to Mussorgski, in which case it's common as muck.
  • ClitBoris.
  • Sorry, Wolof, it's obviously a reference to this Boris, whose name was itself a Pushkin reference, but I don't think a Second Degree of Seperation counts.
  • I have a Serbian friend called Natasha, and she's got the Boris and Natasha accent to go with it.
  • Surely you mean moose and bear?
  • Holy fuck, I just can't get over how polite and respectdful everyone in that article was to each other.
  • I'm amused and worried in roughly equal measure.
  • On eof the funniest things I heard was Boris telling Londoners that they should stay off the streets and watch the Olympics on the comfort of their sofas. Yay Gridlock Gold Medal!
  • That's what ol' Mayor Tom Bradley told us Los Angeleans when the Olys came to town in 1984. The Trafficgeddon did not happen then. But in L.A., WE KNOW TRAFFIC.
