All of the jokes about Russians are taken, but maybe the dad can ‘hook me up’ with one of those Russian mistresses.

My oldest brother used to visit my house all the time to use my PC so that he could visit all of the Russian bride sites. They were not only drop dead gorgeous, but many of them were (wink wink) attorneys, physicians, and engineers.

Make mine Yevgeni Samiatin. His obscure dystopia “We” makes me wonder if Orwell knew what plagiarism was. Plus, an absolute fucking psycho coming off the corrner.

I hear that Molotov could whip up some mean cocktails.

if i am still due my compensatory selection for non-literature russians, i’ll have to take General Mikhail Kalashnikov. hard to beat in terms of an impact player.

if we’re sticking to literature, i’ve got solzhenitsyn, the walter payton of russian literature. one went from jackson state to the rushing record, the other from the gulag to the nobel prize.
outside literature i’ve got yakov pavlov, the machine gun sargent who held position with his unit in a house in stalingrad for two months under constant german attack inflicting massive casualties until finally relieved by advancing soviet lines.

I’m going with Alexander III. We are talking MEASUREMENTS:

1) Tied a silver spoon into a knot.
2) Lifted an entire collapsing roof on a train car.

I’ve got my slavic pass rusher.

With the final pick in the 1st Round, the Michigan State community drafts animated Spartan and gay icon Gerard Butler. His beard is included in this pick.

Grr, kleph. I wanted Pushkin. Great value at 19. Since I’m at the bottom of the order, if we have to stick with Russians, I guess I have to go with Gogol. I don’t know anything about him, but he was an all-Sorochyntsi Cossack, so you take what you can get.

If we can go beyond novelists into Russians at large, no way am I passing up Grigori Perelman, obscure safecracker of the Poincare Conjecture. Perelman won the Fields Medal and turned that shit down because he said the committee wasn’t even qualified to say his proof is right:

He lives with his mom.

Dedrick’s Wonderlic > Vince Young’s Wonderlic

Well played, Brian. Though you know the Russian broad would leave via Free Agency for higher dollars.
That, and the fact that the Russian mob would fix all your games.

Oh, and best post ever.

Except that Berman would probably call him “Karl If-You-Bite-Me-There-Honey-It-Will-Leave Marx.”

I’m going with Eisenstein then. Gotta love movies about robotic roosters.
