    Did you do the ballerina's head lock-and-snap thing? Do that right, you're Wonder Woman, don't, or do it wrong, and you're just dizzy and crawling down the sidewalk til your inner ears settle down.

    ETA Number is important too, twelve and he'd have been wearing a spangled red white and blue bustier:

    Eh, with a vertigo flare, that's an average Tuesday. But I'll never tell if I'm really Wonder Woman or not, heh heh heh...

    Thanks for the eye candy.:supersmile:

    Useless fact: At Baryshnikov's peak, he could do 16 pirouettes in street clothes, and when they filmed this, he could still do 14-15, but they had to pick a number that looked effortless in re-takes. So, they settled on 11.

    Don't think I've ever heard somebody say "rubles" that many times in one sitting. Or anyone who ever cared about earning rubles. Funnily enough, the only two scenes I remember from that movie are that one and the one where he gets smashed in the face by the runaway drink cart on the airplane. Every time I see one of those on a plane I think about that scene. And every time they step on the little parking brake I say to whomever is next to me, "You see? That's so Baryshnikov doesn't get his face smashed in again."

    TMW you post the wrong document! Sh*t, it shouldn't be that easy to make this kind of mistake. It clearly goes to my state of mind at the moment.

    It's happened to me in the past, seems to be a transient thing.

    That's hilarious! It was a handsome face, so I hope they engage the brake thoroughly each time...
    Useless fact: When Bon Jovi played Moscow in 1989, the ruble was worthless, so they were paid in wood, which they then sold to a guitar manufacturer.

    When Pepsi came to the Soviet Union, the contract worked out an exchange rate between liters of Pepsi syrup and liters of Russian-made vodka (I forget which brand)

    That moment when your brother says he's going to climb Vesuvius while he's on holiday so you ask him to bring a piece of the volcano back and he actually does it.

    Epic win right there.

    TMW it starts to dawn on you that you have, in fact, cooked enough rice for 3...maybe even 4 people! :ohno:

    ETA: and I still have at least half of it on my plate. :p

    Could be worse. I once had a character accidentally say, "please, eat us" instead of "please, eat with us."

    They have two vastly different meanings. :p
