Ya know, my mom had a russian neighbor, a single dad with a kid about my sisters age. (11-13, then)Must have been very new to the country. Total fuckin hooligan. He used to ask me perverted shit like "do joo jeck, ya knoe in this shouwer?" and he used to call my sister his "Cherry". He had a black dog that just randomly disappeared. He told the kids at school that he put it in the microwave. Which was kinda stupid because it was not that small, but then when he moved out, we saw them hauling out a commercial microwave. I forgot all about that until my sister just brought it up right now.

Once some dude told me that in Russia cats are useless unless you need them to catch mice. Maybe that's just their thing. Animals are useless unless they do you favors.
