I swore the moon did notice

That I left my little bed

But the more I squint

And throw the stars

I think – myself – instead

russian brides are such a good idea

found a fantastic russian bride website today:

uk.anastasia-international.com which you can tell is legitimate from the get-go because it has "uk" in its title and then claims its head office is in Bangor, Maine.

Even better: each and every "real girl" has an enormous gallery of slutty photos, like this bad boy



That you can only see full-screen versions of when registered. By credit card.

You're quite saucy, Sveta M. For every article of clothing you take off, I'll give you another MasterCard digit.

Or would you rather go for Anna G.?



God, hard to say. I think I might have to go with Anna, though, because she has no children.

But by far the most hilarious thing about the site are the comments from "real users" riddled with very russky grammar mistakes. Try this one:



For the men looking on Anastasia to find a lady. This website is one of the safest you will find. I have been using this site, off and on around 4 years plus several other dating sites. Anastasia is safest.

I used the services of Anastasia to meet the ladies by email, then Anastasia phone. To keep a business going like they do, requires money or no business to offer this kind of protection and service. So don't worry about the credits required as I once did, just be wise.

These ladies are real. Going to visit a lady is the only way. I encourage you to use Anastasia when you start your search.
Also keep in mind Gentelman — these ladies are people, like you, they worry about whom they might meet, they don't want to play games. You may contact me if you want 100% proof, that this is a great website, it's always improving and it is fair and friendly people to work with.

Blessings

Jerry H? Are we sure that isn't Grisha or Gosha? And when you've taught English to Russian for as many years as I have, the "Russianness" of the English just comes flying out at you - just check the following, where I'll indicate mistakes with []

(1) The lack of articles and agreeing verbs (mistakes in []) ["anastasia is [] safest", "[it is] fair and friendly people to work with"...]

(2) The randomly added commas ["I have been using this site[,] off and on...", "if you want 100% proof[,] that this is a great website..."]

(3) And the missing prepositions ["I have been using this site [] 4 years plus"]

Sure, Anastasia, I'll be wise and hand credit card over! I would must to be great fat idiot not to!

Try this other great quote from very satisfied happy customer:


I have recently visited Russia, and the small city, Belgorod, where Anna lives. We have decided to get married, as soon as she can come to Australia.Thank you for your help.

David D. Australia

Where you see the same extra-russky comma in the "we have decided to get married, as soon as she..."

God, can you imagine how sketchy of a site this must be if these are the quotes it features? It essentially implies that it's never had an actualy letter from an actual client, meaning they've probably never had an actual client.

Take that, Anatasia.com! No matter how hot Ira K. is, I'm not sending her any more flowers.



Ok, ok, I'll send some flowers - but no more sports cars.

Jesus, and then confused Aussie sheep farmers wonder how in the world they've ended naked up in the back of a hut with a gun to their head. As in this story reported by the beeb today.
Poor sheep farmers. All they wanted was a much younger bride from an ostensibly poor country to share their sheep farmsmanship.
Take it from David H. of CA if ou have any lingering doubts:

From the staff to the women I corresponded with, I was always treated with a form of excellence only found in the very best businesses in the world.

abstinence only rix or rax or whatever the kids say these days!

here's a pic from a high school website in south carolina:





and I honestly have no idea how it's supposed to have any affect on horny kids because

(a) is the person in the background supposed to be a dude? or are we looking at respectful lesbians?

(b) whoever it is back there, looks like she/he is already elbow-deep in boob

and

(c) what exactly are they waiting for? nightfall? I don't see a ring on that finger...

not surprising, though, if you look at the tools in charge of the program on the original site. you can be sure that if "trav spears" were to ever tell me anything I would immediately do the exact opposite.




guy's like the missing link in evolution.

The site continues:

The Abstinence Education Course is a two-week program taught to 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th graders through out Edgefield County. The classes deal not only with the importance of abstaining from sexual activity until marriage but also with respect for self and others and decision making skills.

((scroll down their site for a very creepy appearance by the "reptile man" ... ))

Binge Drinking = Bad

quoted from our friends at kid's health

Chet has known Dave since they were in elementary school together, but lately their friendship has been strained. Dave's drinking on weekends has turned him into a completely different person. Dave used to get good grades and play sports, but since he started drinking he hasn't been finishing assignments and he has quit the soccer team.

When Chet saw Dave pound five beers in 30 minutes at two different parties, he realized how serious Dave's problem was. He knows what Dave is doing: binge drinking.

Why Do People Binge Drink?

Liquor stores, bars, and alcoholic beverage companies make drinking seem attractive and fun. It's easy for a high school student to get caught up in a social scene with lots of peer pressure. Inevitably, one of the biggest areas of peer pressure is drinking.

Other reasons why people drink include:

* They're curious — they want to know what it's like to drink alcohol.

* They believe that it will make them feel good, not realizing it could just as easily make them sick and hung-over.

* They may look at alcohol as a way to reduce stress, even though it can end up creating more stress.

* They want to feel older.

What Are the Risks of Binge Drinking?

Many people don't think about the negative side of drinking. Although they think about the possibility of getting drunk, they may not give much consideration to being hung-over or throwing up.

You may know from experience that excessive drinking can lead to difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, mood changes, and other problems that affect your day-to-day life. But binge drinking carries more serious and longer-lasting risks as well.

People who are drunk also take other risks they might not normally take when they're sober. For example, people who have impaired judgment may have unprotected sex, putting them at greater risk of a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or unplanned pregnancy.

People who binge-drink may find that their friends drift away — which is what happened with Chet and Dave. Drinking can affect personality; people might become angry or moody while drinking, for example.

Save Money By Turning off your Lights!

The Moscow city council started a campaign to reduce energy consumption among its citizens. Among other tactics was this hilarious billboard:




Which tells you to "save money by turning off your lights." Comically enough, the sign is lit-up by a number of high-powered, energy-consuming bulbs that run all night long and doesn't even face the flow of traffic on Leningradka. Anyone want to do the math on how much energy they're wasting getting the message out?


I think the irony was so strong that it almost broke my camera-fon - contrary to the assumption you must have made, that foto above has not been shopped at all....

Today I saw the Sun -

After months below the Sea -

She didn’t wince twice –

While breaking the ease of day -

Nor consider me –
