God Bless Mother Russia
The Cold War has been over for some time now and once again those wonderful guys and gals over in Russia are our allies. Well, it's much better than when we had to worry about missiles flying over our heads towards America and being shot down in Canadian airspace - right!
This post is being written as the better half watches The Oscars on tv. So I got the idea that some of our Ruskie friends should be nominated here for all the good work they've done:
1. The Employment Award: I personally wanna thank Russia for being there for me when I needed a job. You guys gave me five years of employment working for National Defence working on IBM mainframes. I worked in encryption and decryption. "Thanks fellers!"
2. The Keep The World Nazi-free Award: The whole world, make that the whole free world, wants to thank you fellers for sticking to it in Stalingrad by fighting off a superior force of German troops and eventually marching west to Berlin and kicking some serious ass. "You guys are the greatest!"
3. The Failed Assassination Award: You pissed off a lot of folks when you guys tried offing our pope. Good thing for you that you failed as we would have retaliated big time. "You should tune into The Sopranos if you wanna learn how to bump somebody off!"
4. The Race Card Award: Not too many people are aware of what a swell guy your late leader, Joseph Stalin, was. Don't get me wrong, Joe did a wonderful job fighting off the Germans during WWII, but he sure bungled it domestically by trying to do in millions of Russian Jews.
I could go on, but there is only so much time and space available. Rest assured we'll always remember Yuri from the movie No Way Out; your wonderful goaltender Vladislav Tretiak; the awe-inspiring dialogue by Johnathon Winters in the movie The Russians Are Coming - "We gotta get organized!"; and so many more.
And most of all I want to thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for your finest export. We love your vodka!
