Living in Ukraine, about all we were aware of here, as far as the Olympics went, were the 'Sochi fail' posts just before they started, the opening ceremony and the fact that several Ukrainian athletes withdrew part way through and another claimed her gold medal with a black armband. I honestly have no idea now about most of the events there. Going into the Olympics, I felt a bit worried about what would happen here if they didn't manage to resolve the crisis before the Olympics ended. It soon became obvious that we going to overshadow the Olympics here, period.
I'm glad that the Russians managed to find a little humor for the closing ceremonies. But many of his fellow countrymen likely needed to have the joke explained to them as they didn't get to see the opening ceremony unedited.

I don't think so- I read it more as it 'would be a great icebreaker video for a Hazmat class'.
The thing is- in Eastern Europe we see canisters of (who knows what) being hauled around, some buses and cars run on propane- or some such thing (I've seen buses with 5 or 6 pressure tanks strapped to them; when that kind of bus has to refuel en route, passengers have to get off and walk a distance away until the refueling is done); roads are often bad; drivers are maniacs- traffic lane demarcations mean very little, neither do speed limit restrictions. And nothing is maintained (vehicles, cylinders) like it should be. The amazing thing is that this doesn't happen more often.
The pairing of this song with the video was brilliant. But the whole thing gave me the shudders. Yikes.

I floss it out.
And- from a close friend who is a cancer survivor- apparently being a good flosser can help you if you ever face radiation. Something about overall dental care and radiation's negative affects on teeth. (Public service message for the day!) ;)

Some good ones here! ;)
How about that 'May the bird of paradise fly up your nose; may your wife be plagued with runs in her hose; may an elephant caress you with its toes.' Always sort of liked that song! ;)

A rather dim comparison maybe, but it brought back childhood memories of watching my dad back hay wagons into the barn- he was perfect every single time! And fast.
To the commentors who didn't realize they had such a super skill- You've never seen some of the rest of us trying to get into a spot with a much smaller vehicle??? ;) (There is a reason we're not driving a big rig! ha!)

Ah yes- the (dis)comfort of the Soviet-created vehicle. I heard a group of men recently discussing the old Soviet semi-truck compared with the super luxury of the modern semi (which still are nothing compared to the outfits they have back in North America). Those drivers were tough!

She was one of my favorites, too. More down to earth than some.
I like our current first lady, too! :)

That's just the most delicious thing yet today!
Like that question that went around Facebook recently: When you walk in the rain, do you get wet or do you feel the rain?
