Ending decades of speculation, Rasputin's penis has just gone on exhibition in Moscow, thanks to an initiative by the former director of the Russian Council for Prostate Research who, in a surprise career move, decided to ditch all that scientific stuff and open Moscow's first Erotic Museum.
Thoughts? Good for him, but not so good for the mad monk's reputation? Here's hoping the Erroll Flynn, Sinatra and Brando estates are keeping better track of their inventories, lest the shape-is-everything militants make a meal of it.
*groan*
Posted by Miguel at July 05, 2004 08:21 PMWhen I was a wee tyke, my maternal grandfolks had a summer place in the Colorado rockies, back before it got spoilt by skiing, gambling, John Denver and the like. I would sometimes be fortunate enough to be shipped up for a week or two, to get me out of my parents' way, and to see the local sights of the unspoilt mountains.
One of them, I recall, was a REAL LIVE GOLD MINE (or maybe it was just a facsimile thereof, I'm not sure at this point), at which a boy could larn all about the miners and their ilk, pan for gold, and keep all he panned out. Naturally, nothing panned out (har!), so at the end of the day I was taken to the gift shop, at which I just HAD to spend all my allotted souvenir money on a little cylindrical jar, which contained a lot of water and one - apparently very large - gen-U-wine gold nugget. It was my pride and joy for the rest of that vacation, and I somehow managed to even convince myself that I had "earned" it panning in the stream. I would gaze at my gold nugget for hours, and dream sweet dreams of untold riches beyond belief. Kids, you know.
I still have the little jar, which still contains the gold nugget, although I no longer think it's quite so large, ever since I took the top off, poured out the water, and learned my first lesson about the wonders of refraction.
I'm just sayin', is all.
Also, I was not aware we even HAD a "Dead People" category.

Posted by: towerbrave on July 7, 2004 09:49 AMI think they have some sort of cream for that now.
The blort-scraping, that is. The staring-in-wonderment at infamous Russian dangly bits is, alas, incurable.
quick, someone post another couple of links so's I can read the monkeyhouse @ work...
