I decided to keep the Martini for myself, though.

I think getting drunk off her ass was the fallback plan.

She can't eat bread and water for a week?
I guess she's never been sent to the gulag.

I'd hit mail-order bride it!

I'm glad to see the return of the correct spelling of "vodka".

I'm not Russian but I would feed her protein

subby misspelled vodak

How was Vodka spelled before?

Shes ok for a man.

Vodak

I love the not so subtle praise for the 'patriotic villagers' while simultaneously berating the urban population. Gee, that hasn't been done before in Russian history.

If that's what passes for "cute" on the internet these days we're all doomed.

It'd be easy to live for a week on American only food, if you wanted to. Just live off of stuff grown at a local variety type farm with a store. There is a place near here that grows and sells corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, asparagus, apples, pears, plums, peaches (yes, near Lake Erie we can grow peaches, but I've heard not more than 10 miles away, don't know if it's true), squash, pumpkins, lettuce, cabbage. All sorts of stuff. It's not all harvested at the same time, of course, but all summer long they have a ton of locally grown food you can eat. Finding locally made eggs is usually pretty easy as well. Meat wouldn't be too much of a problem. If you want to do it, just don't go to a grocery store. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with going to the grocery store, I'm just saying it's easy to avoid them if you don't mind a simple diet and want to support local farmers.

An interesting challenge, I wonder how well it would work here.

aside from say wodka how else would you spell it?

You're saying she isn't cute? I'm not going to say she's the hottest girl ever to have a picture on the internet, but she is cute.

Oh, geez, America would be simple. You can't go on American food for a week, you're hopeless. Russia, though? Bit harder.

VODAK!

And EAT BUGS people. Dear lord, if you are hungry bugs are fine. They are high in protein and you can eat them straight off of the body of your deceased sexual partner.

I must have missed the cute reporter.

Why on earth does Russia import potatoes from Israel?

FTA : "A KP correspondent bet her editor she could go a week without Chinese goods and failed miserably. She soon learned all the wonders of modern-day society are made in China - computers, phones, TVs and clothes. Her penalty was a second assignment. She had to live a week eating only Russian food products."

So that girl lost a sucker bet, so she takes another stupid ass bet?

She is a bit of an idiot that one. I can see why her editor keeps her around.

/In Russia the idiot is you!

Yeah, she has sharp knees!

More people should do this. Most of the vehicle pollution comes from transporting food cross-country, so if we would all eat produce grown or raised within 25 miles of home, we would cut more vehicle emissions than if we all switched to hybrid cars.

Of course, I live in southern California, so that is easy for me to say...

alkhemy: Of course, I live in southern California, so that is easy for me to say...

Yeah, it is easy to be smug when you live in southern California.

40oz_A_Knight: Why on earth does Russia import potatoes from Israel?

All the Russian potatoes make their way into vodak bottles.

You misspelled smog.

"Russian food: lard, salt, bread, milk, eggs, tomatoes, buckwheat, rice, oil, kissel."

Russia's negative population rate is further explained...

You're a dumbass if you think that's plausible. What that would encourage is growing food in lands marginal for that kind of production, which will destroy the topsoil incredibly fast. Unless you don't want anybody north of Mobile to eat citrus fruits.

+1, subby, for not following the stupid meme.

So then what would cute be to you? Enlighten us, please...

40oz_A_Knight: Why on earth does Russia import potatoes from Israel?

For the life of me I can't think of a Jewish potato joke.

Cute? Methinks subby has already been on the vodak vodka diet for some time.

Borscht, Blini, Shashlek (I mis-spelled for sure), Vodak, canned black bread, canned beef and pork, Russian sausage, canned fish, smoked fish, caviar, white cherries, the list goes on and on....lots of native foods in Russia

/My cousin lives there now, works for Aeroflot

She's got a dozen foot-longs and a bottle of Coke. I think she'll be okay.

martid4: I'd bury my bone in her ядохимикатов!

Да, как кулачок сердитого бога!

I could probably live on British food for a full week, as long as I didn't have a coronary by around Thursday or so.

Or die from misery and pie-sickness.

haha. That girl is Armenian. The editor of that paper made her Michele Malkin for a week.

Mevas bahoronem!!

Boy it sure sounds like they get a lot of food from China. What's the average life expectancy in Russia anyway?

Some farkers in this thread are just begging for the studman69 pic.

DPoem: She's got a dozen foot-longs and a bottle of Coke. I think she'll be okay.

That is the imported food she can't eat. That is why is looking at it so longingly, with such passion and disire in her dark, limpid eyes.

/I'll be in my bunk

I'm really impressed no one has made the "all-Russian protein shake" joke yet.

studebaker hoch
I'm glad sorry to see the return of the correct spelling of "vodka" subby misspell vodak.

FTFY

66 for women; 58 for men.

Jeremy Bates: Obligatory for you morons.

Don't be such an asshat.
