Can't find the fire hose because it's hidden in someone's bathroom.
Bust through a door only to fall through 5 floors of tarp.
The fire exit is just painted on the wall.
Only hope is a tiny window, but its 10 feet off the ground.

Kevin McCallister grew up to become an architect but after he was deemed criminally insane because of his sadistic slapstick death trap houses, he fled to Russia.

A comment on a recent guardian article says:

quote:

Such exaggeration and sensationalism. I've been in this complex three weeks and, sure, things have been patchy, such as the Internet connection, the lack of light bulbs and hot water, but we are warm, dry, in comfortable beds and getting fed good food, and, above all, the staff are friendly, helpful and doing their best. And as for the poor journos "forced to endure techno music played at an ear-splitting volume," it's actually Russian folk music and is hardly at an ear-splitting volume. The rooms (and beds) are larger than those some of us journalists occupied at London 2012, and during which we were obliged to move accommodation four times to different areas of the city

You want lightbulb? Sun isn't bright enough?

Can we all agree that this is going to be one of the best winter olympics for a long time for the worst possible reasons? 24 hours ago I didn't give a poo poo about the olympics. Now I am psyched.

The best part of the whole debacle is standard of Nationality that is beaten in to Russians' heads, go check out some Russian peoples' comments on news sites and youtube etc. and they're all defending Sochi and saying the rest of the world is just mad because there aren't enough gay people in Russia
