[Jack Quarantillo]

Q

[John Gilmour]

I'm around- just finishing up with some Doctor stuff- not as much time as I usually have.

It's snowboard season- so I've been doing clinics for snowboard racers and carvers.

[Ron Barbagallo]

Hey! Be careful on that snowboard fella!

[Vlad Popov]

People miss and look for you...makes you feel special...

I injured my ankle multiple times, and it's been over a month of passive recovery without any sports activity. If it doesn't heal within a day or two, I'll never catch Luca and will probably have my foot amputated...coz what is it good for if I can't skate fast?

Also considering purchasing a self-remedy in case of prologed failure. Debating a Desert Eagle and a 45 blackpowder Magnum. Please advice for this dilemma's driving me nuts.

Komrade,

Why not just go to Red Square, stand on a soap box and scream to the top of you lungs that Putin is a fellating lap dog of his capitalist masters?

You'll have a bullet in the brain in no time.

[John Gilmour]

Vlad I've got a sure way to fix your ankle- even if your ligaments are toast.

I'll call youa t work in the am

Hey Vlad, добросердечные приветствия от лотоса приземляется. - - - 54 градуса здесь. Оно принял бы между 4 и 12 днями к плашке от погоды, главным образом солнца. Если вы смогли обеспечить последовательный источник, то воды вы не могли умереть. Вы смогли как раз сидеть в одном месте long enough для того чтобы начать медленно аккумулировать хворостины и биты бумаги и dirt. Окончательн вы выросли бы в волосатую маленькую хату, маленькую насыпь в ландшафте. Вы смогли выдержать для по крайней мере пары лет дорога. Думайте оно смогла сделать для ваших поворотов gs низкого уровня вниз. - - - мнение здравствулте! к john.

[Paul Keleher]

Steve,

what part of the above translates as

"You could exactly sit in one place long enough in order to begin to slowly accumulate twigs and bits of paper and dirt. You is final they would grow into the hairy small hut, the small mound in the landscape."

doncha just love Babelfish!!

[Steve Collins]

Hey Paul - Yeh, English to Russian via bablefish must have been funny enough, much less back to English again.

What can I say? Vlad was asking for advice with his "dilemma". I was suggesting that rather than rushing to conclusions with a gun, he could head out to the land of pink stucco and spend a week or two sitting out in a field dying of exposure. Very few have died that way and lived to tell about it. Think of the great exposure for our niche sport: "Russian Rocket Bids Goodbye to Cruel World, Sits down in Mud."

...or maybe Vlad could learn to skate on one foot like Jim Korten.

[John Gilmour]

snipped...
...or maybe Vlad could learn to skate on one foot like Jim Korten.

nope- its his front foot he sprained.

Truly great Ts racers never retire (look at Evans....still winning) Vlad will be back and faster than ever....might take a bit though.

BTW Vlad go to a health food/suppliment place and buy some arnica pills and arnica gel for your ankle.

[Frank Henn]
