My car, it has a first name...

[beowabbit]

I’ve figured out the name of my new car. It’s old-fashioned. It’s ugly, but strangely mesmerizing. It’s large. The values, the ideas, the régime it represents may be in decline, but you certainly don’t want to get in its way. And it’s a total babe magnet. What else can I call it but Григорій Ефимовичъ, or Grigori Yefimovich?

Ah, that's what you were on about in ijitsa_ru... Gotcha.

But why the ancient orthography? Since the old man with the big eyes was quite illiterate (babe magnet or not), he spelled as he pronounced -- quite like the modern Russian spelling!!

But does it have the beard?

[beowabbit]

No, but it is immune to cyanide!

(Yes, I know that story’s apocryphal.)

Well, that's probably slightly more practical than having a beard, anyway.

and bullets, but it will be found with a cross hanging from the mirror in a river.

Rasputin wasn't so much a babe magnet as forward to the point of just starting to undress someone he wanted.

But I love the philosophy of the sinning to get closer to god. (paraphrase)


congrats on it.
