fu, I still buy these from time to time when I go back home
(it remind me of glorious primary/middle school cafeteria food!
Seriously tho, they tase OK - its just melted chese with bits of sausage and other assorted toppings you would expect on pizzas (in general)
its just that they use weird bread and dont give a poo poo about how it looks.
Or how the ingredients go together, but thats nitpicking.

drat, Need to find a pic of the pseudo-bars that are in almost every cornerstore where old drunks order 100ml vodka shots at 8 am as they stare into the wall/distance with glazed over eyes.

It's probably just a cheap lens playing tricks, but no matter how long I stare at the picture I can see only a messy wild berry streusel pie. And I DO know cheap "pizza" products made mainly of ketchup and cheese on a bun. They definitely shouldn't look like that.

At least we know how much Russian soldier's life is worth, because family receive hush money after servicemen get shipped back from Ukraine in a wooden box. I forgot the amount, but it was something like 1-2 mil rubles.

He's a baby-faced kid with a wife and child back home even though he looks 15

He constantly pressured EVERYONE to drink more all the time (especially Rakija) and we had to intercept the waiter several times to lower the drink orders

He asked me about how 'the gays' and 'the niggers' were behaving in America at least a dozen times

He made constant jokes about Russia that match ones we make here in the thread, keeping us laughing the whole time

He tried to stiff us on the bill in the first bar and only me physically interceding got him to pay up

In the second bar he started going from table to table putting his arm around people and singing loudly, eventually started kissing everyone on the neck too

Every few minutes once he knew he'd pushed it too far he'd bring it back with a Russia joke that got us all laughing again and him back in our good graces, as if he was completely in control the whole time

He just did shots with Rakija, which is really loving difficult as the stuff is strong and syrupy

Security had to physically hold him back from dancing like a wild man flailing around in the middle of a small, crowded bar, after he almost knocked over several people's drinks

When we left he stayed at that bar, having made friends with four other tables

We made the waitress put him on a separate bill and I think he drank as much as the other four of us put together

At 3am - three hours after we were done for the night - he showed up back at the hostel, being escorted by police, with a bruised-up face, a bleeding lip, and missing an expensive medallion he'd had around his neck - when he saw our shocked looks he just said 'No problem. Typical night Russia.'

We had to restrain him from blasting French music at full blast in a completely full dorm room because "French rear end in a top hat made noise last night. Deserves it"

Passed out cold wearing only underwear and a polo pulled up to his chest

The 2015 Transparency International report of least (and most) corrupt countries was released yesterday.

Russia got a whopping score of 29 (out of 100), putting it in a tie for 119th place. Russia was beaten by such laudable lands of honesty as China, India, and Pakistan. The top of the list is of course dominated by Nordic countries with scores around 90. Russia is also notable for happily selling a lot of the weapons that are partially responsible for other countries being even lower on the list.

They have a nice color-coded map showing relative corruption of colors and Russia is a nice deep red color :ussr:

Tame weekday evening.

In Belgrade the night should have progressed into a car fire at some point. Also someone pulling out an old grenade that was in uncles old box from the War. Or uncle waving around gun while drunkenly cursing filthy Croats and wanting to watch old tapes of Tropikal Heat. Then after that foreplay the night would get really fun.
