w00! Keep up the struggle, sisters! (I mean, 17%? Why not 20? Do I hear 30?)
С Восьмом Марта! Hopefully WordPress is equal to my mad Cyrillic skillz.
p.s. You are wrong! Wrong about everything! (Trying to keep up my track record here.)
im facebookin’ this shit beeatch!… sorry i know, the oppressor and the slang and all that.
great pics!
“LIKE”
Yay! I love that it’s the Socialists who led the way on this.
Horray for class consciousness and the way it can potentially bring us all together!
Thanks LP! I look forward to a good class discussion today…
Oh shit. “С восьмым марта!” -ым. I am losing my Russian.
Smearcase I am so glad you corrected that adjectival ending.
On behalf of the women of the world, I forgive you for your incorrect (Smear)case ending.
I guess since it’s a masculine ending it doesn’t matter today.
Obviously, since his original ending was “MOM,” which would clearly be the feminine.
%17!
that is funny!
“Babbitry”
?
let’s all go to i-tunes and buy that john lennon song … !
10: Actually, Swells, that’s a rarely seen Old Church Slavonic derivation, typically used just once a year, on Mother’s Day. The correct form for today, which Smearcase hasn’t yet hit on, is “С Восьwomen Марта.”
Maybe “hit on” was the wrong phrase to use.
12: From Sinclair Lewis’s Babbitt. The Soviets loved him for his anti-capitalist bent, his readiness to embrace the USSR, and maybe his alcoholism. I’m going to try to use “Babbittry” at least three times in the next week.
Of course, the poster doesn’t actually say “Babbittry” in Russian. But I like my explanation anyway.
Posting multiple comments in a row is fun. Who knew? Besides Lane, of course!
Hi, Lane!
it is right? you think of one thing.
and then another!
14 С Восьwymyn Марта, please.
You laugh, but I actually took Old Church Slavonic.
