Speaking of Putin's dogs, I saw W in an interview talking about how Putin apparently dissed Barney (Putin pointed out that his dog Connie was "bigger and stronger").
Sometimes the simplest exchanges reveal the most, don't they?
Well, the pic of Putin cuddling his adorable dog certainly shattered my image of him. What's next; a photo of him baking pink cupcakes with sprinkles? For homeless orphans? With a Barry Manilow album played softly in the background?
Ah, my favorite transitive/intransitive verb mix-up. I'm notorious for confusing lay and lie, and have even been known to mangle their tenses. Allot. :p
The Putin/Abba thing is true. At least I've heard it before from reputable sources (as in, some article I read sometime from Foreign Affairs or something. Not an entire article on Putin's affinity for Mamma Mia, but as an aside in an article).
I do think that if Putin sleeps with men, it is only because he killed them, and finds it soothing to be surrounded by the bodies of his vanquished. Like Lunesta for psychopathic dictators.
That is one seriously adorable dog.
ReplyDeleteWhy is he wearing a shirt! I'm so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteAFW -- because the dogs claws are sharp?
ReplyDeleteHe fights sharks in the Arctic Circle wearing only a loincloth (thanks, Alphie!). I'm sure the dog claws can't pierce him.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been this disillusioned since the last time I saw Rudy Giuliani without a dress on SNL.

ReplyDeletelady red, maybe he'll give us his method for cleaning the oven, accompanied by a shirtless photo of him in an apron.
ReplyDeleteAFW, LOL! Holding a huge blowtorch? With a match in his teeth? :))
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thinks Putin smiling makes it look like something is wrong with his face?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the dog is adorable.
Perhaps those are the eyes that GWB looked into.
ReplyDeleteafw is now indebted to me for the rest of her life.

You're welcome.
:-*
Dear Lord! That's horrifying!
ReplyDeleteYou know what would be fun? Vladimir Putin meets TSA at Dulles Airport.
Awesome.
Those naked x-ray pics would totally be leaked. By Putin.
AFG said, "In fact, Putin would go into the scanner already naked."
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteROFL at AFG!
ReplyDeleteThat table tennis in speedo's photo was apparently taken in his KGB days.
Oh and the website I got it from says that Putin is a huge ABBA fan.
And that he sleeps with men.
Holding a huge blowtorch...
ReplyDelete*snickering*
It's 5:30 in the morning. I'm laying here in bed, in the dark, with my blackberry, reading this thread... and LMAO!
ReplyDelete"Those naked x-ray pics would totally be leaked. By Putin."
LOL
It's nearly three hours later and it has occurred to me that I was merely lying in bed earlier this morninng.
ReplyDeleteAh, my favorite transitive/intransitive verb mix-up. I'm notorious for confusing lay and lie, and have even been known to mangle their tenses. Allot. :p
ReplyDeleteI blame shirtless Putin.
Lay is a single potato chip.
ReplyDeleteLie is "My dog ate my homework."
It drives AFG insane that I simply cannot get lay/lie straight. Instead, I try to avoid it whenever possible.
ReplyDelete"I'm going to go recline upon the bed now."
"Would you please place the book down on the table?"
Damn Shirtless Putin for unleashing this grammatical horror upon us!

I always get laying/lying wrong too. Good things my friends here at TCKT won't hold it against me :-)
ReplyDeletelaying/lying
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason it's hard... don't wanna be an easy lay now, right?
