asciilifeform: 'Если русский мужик в безысходности пьёт, / Если наглый джигит как добычу берёт / Дом отцовский его, и сестру, и жену — / Это значит, что нам объявили войну. / Это значит, что скоро война.' << sufficient sample.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i bet herr dokror w fucks baby pandas , and gets away with it.
