Kalashnikov

Kalashnikov

General Kalashnikov
 Tuesday, October 13, 2009:

What kills 250,000 people each and every year?

What is known as the African credit card, as in “don’t leave home without it”.

Whose image graces a nation’s flag?

The AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifle, of course!

mozambique-flag

The Flag of Mozambique

Kalashnikov was a Tank Commander under the unstoppable Russian General Zhukov.  He was part of some of the most fierce battles in history in Russia’s effort to defeat the Nazis.  He was severely wounded.

Born in 1919, he turns 90 on November 10.  Both as a young man and as an old, he looks like he should.  He looks sooo Russian!

He designed the AK-47 after being shot by two German soldiers.  No one was gonna shoot him anymore!

Separately, he designed a modification to a Russian pistol to make it more effective when jumping on a German tank and firing through the tank’s slits.  Can you imagine the action he must have seen to be motivated to come up with such a design?

And now, from deep within Mother Russia, the very same man who brought you the AK-47 brings you the most potent liquid ever to linger on a Russian virgin’s lips:

Kalashnikov Vodka

At 41 abv, the vodka is known as “Military Strength“.

Kalashnikov had the final word on everything, including the taste.

My Russian former girlfriend Kate, born and raised in the Imperial Capital of Russia, always said “A Russian without vodka is like grass without water!”.

Everything is as it should be.

A World-Acclaimed Beauty

zla2-1
Zlati of Bulgaria
Monday, July 28, 2008: 

The Czars of all the Russias followed by the Soviets developed the Arts and Sciences to their highest levels.  From the Kirov Ballet to classically-trained musicians to an army that could defeat Napolean and Hitler, the Russians excelled at anything they chose.

The Soviets and their allied states presented to the world some of  the most beautiful women in history as evidence of the grandeur and superiority of the Communist system.

Drawing from Central and Eastern European women, the Communists developed a core of perfect women that astonished onlookers with their beauty, poise, sophistication, and elegance.  The world was in awe of the Communist women on display.  They modeled around the world in various fashion shows.

And her name is Desislava.

She is Bulgarian!

Not surprisingly, she has a good photo she uses to entice prospective internet dates.  Yet the photo is nothing compared to her beauty and sexuality in person.

A visitor sits on her couch, gazing at her, wondering what in the hell he is doing in the presence of this world-class beauty.  Her two previous long-term relationships in America have been with men of immense wealth.  Yet the two chat together non-stop for seven hours.

Her ancient Afghan hound dog is asleep on a different couch, age rendering him almost motionless.  Desislava likes that her visitor does not complain when two of her dogs jump on him and lick his face.  The visitor likes that the pit bull who tried to take off his hand upon arrival is leashed in the garage.

And the visitor sits there for hours, looking at her and mesmerized by what once was and what is.

Her skirt rides up as she sits on the couch.  Her skin is unusually creamy.  Her legs are astonishing, long and perfectly-shaped by genetics with muscles formed by expensive exercise equipment.  At age 43, her perfectly manicured hands can pass for those of a youngster.

Her eyes, big and blue, have entranced thousands, and have witnessed much.  She has been squired all over the world by private jet.  Two Bulgarian Secret Service agents were assigned to each model for their protection and to insure the models did not flee.

As a teenager, her income was thirty-three times that of a Bulgarian doctor.

Offered wealth and marriage by the princes of Europe and the sons of captains of industry, she instead married for love.  She married her Bulgarian sweetheart.

He was a drunk and a womanizer.

In her early twenties while traveling to foreign capitals, she became tired of reading of his drunken escapades with hookers in Sofia.  The newspapers did not identify him by name, but as the husband of famous model Desislava.

She was humiliated!

At the age of 25, she fled to New York City and worked for the Elite Agency.  She did get some assignments, but was too old to start afresh as a model in America.

Eighteen years later, she works long hours at a boutique she owns.  Her home is modest.

Men who once couldn’t even dream of being allowed in her presence may now take her to dinner.

Seneca did take her out a couple of times.

Chicago’s 2016 Olympic Bid

rsc

The City by the Lake
Thursday, October 8, 2009:

“The Audacity of Hope” was what some called Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics.  GayCo, a Chicago sketch-comedy troupe, declared Friday afternoon that its fall show will be named ”The Audacity of Nope”.

The great comedy club named “Second City”  jokingly says they’re now called the “Fourth City”.  Chicago came in fourth in the Olympics voting.

Some pundits claim it might have been tough to remain a city so real if we had won the Olympics.

By the way, we’re called the Second City not because we were once Number 2 to New York City in population, but because we’re built on the ashes of the City that burnt in 1871.

Of course, we’re also called the “Windy City”.  That has nothing to do with the wind, but with our pre-Civil War politicians giving lengthy speeches in Congress.

What To Do With Her?

AlexKrakow

“Alex Krakow” by Titus Powell
Sunday Evening, September 27, 2009:

The book “Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas” is a fascinating account of the man who was the love of Oscar Wilde’s life.  Oscar thought Bosie to be so beautiful that neither man nor woman could resist him.  The love of Bosie, the love so scorned by society, was to directly destroy Oscar’s life.

Bosie

The book has a blue jacket with the name “Bosie” emblazoned in white across the middle.  Maggie places the book on the ottoman in front of her and divides her remaining heroin into two lines.  Knowing how Seneca hates her use of the stuff, she cocks her head to the left so her mass of long, auburn hair shields his view as she snorts a line.  She leaves the remaining line on the book for use later. 

Earlier, Seneca had agreed that she could spend the night, but only on the condition that he not be asked to buy her drugs.  She agreed, as she was homeless for this one night.  Her boyfriend, a fellow addict, returns from a trip to Michigan tomorrow.

Prior to her placing the heroin on the book, Seneca noticed the symptoms of withdrawal beginning in Maggie.  She had only two lines left until her boyfriend returns.

Seneca:  “How ya doin’, honey?”

Maggie:  “Gettin’ sick, Mike.”

Seneca:  “Finish what you got when you want.  I’ll buy you a twenty in the morning.”

Maggie:  “I can get off this shit if you just let me live here.  Why don’t you want me here?”

 The two are coming upon the anniversary of the eighth year of their friendship.  Seneca thinks of

- the great passion he once had for Maggie,

- the loneliness that allowed crack/heroin addicts to live with him,

- and how well things are going with the addiction-free and educated, but distant, Bonnie.

Seneca:  “Honey, you just can’t live here!”

Seneca admires her beauty as they talk as she falls asleep.  She still has long, beautiful hair and large eyes.  Her body is slender, due mainly to the effects of “heroin chic”.  Her legs are long and toned and her tush is perfect.

She’s so pretty as she’s sleeping there.

It feels like it should feel when having her around!

What to do with her?

Veronica

Veronica - Mia

Friday, August 7, 2009:

Seneca has long known that Latinas are special and different, but he couldn’t put his finger on why.  The few he has known-well have been worthy of love.  They are real women, proud of it, intense, and sexual.  They know how to treat a man!

His new friend is in Chicago for only several months.  She returns to Lima, Peru in February.

The Good Lord has given him a severe allergy to age-appropriate women, and she is younger than he by the number of stars in the Milky Way.  He lives by God’s Will.

Their relationship of two weeks is not sexual and may never be.  She is totally fulfilling as she is.  There was a day when a man could enjoy a woman’s company for months and years without demanding more.  He sometimes lives in that day.

His live-in East European roommate Lucky captures a man’s body with raw sexuality and a jiggle of her breasts.  His Latina captures a man totally with the flash of her eyes, a shy smile, and with intelligence, class and elegance.  She’s much more to his liking.

He will not claim they’ll be friends for the next several months, but he sure hopes they will be. She has chosen him for her love of live theater, live music, and his sometimes frequent attendance at functions of the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations.  It does help that he picks up the tab.

A young stud muffin may show up and steal her heart, but he does not worry.  He is always faced with that.  It does really hurt when it happens.  But the stud muffin may not share her interests as he does.  Furthermore, she’s not in Chicago for a relationship, but primarily to visit family and secondarily to experience Chicago.

His Latina is magical.  She is starry-eyed and not yet beaten down by life.  Her hopes still soar to the Heavens and she still knows that everything will be okay.  It is his job to nurture her and to watch her flower.

After all that, his goal is to make it with her for one more week.

When she leaves in February, maybe he’ll grow up.

You know he won’t.

Everything is as it should be.

Nothing will ever change.

No one will ever die.

Could You Do Me a Favor?

Favor1

Sunday, July 26, 2009:

In this, the new century, romantic entanglements can be quite complex. Seneca admits that he does yearn for the good ol’ days!

Seneca’s girlfriend Lucky’s boyfriend (Yes! Pay attention!) is a 22-year-old stud muffin.  He happens to be entranced by an 18-year-old hottie.

Who isn’t?

The 18-year-old uses the poor stud muffin as a piece of meat.  She has some affection for him, but not really.

A Fate worse than Death!

The 18-year-old has a gorgeous 16-year-old sister who is concerned about not having lost her virginity at such an advanced age.

There is so much to worry about when young!

18-Year-Old Hottie to Stud Muffin: ” Could you do me a favor?  My 16-year-old sister needs to get rid of her virginity.   Could you take care of it?”

Surprisingly, the stud muffin chooses NOT to save what he has to offer for Seneca’s girlfriend, or for the 18-year-old making the request, or for the married 33-year-old assistant states attorney he’s boffing, or for the hot 23-year-old female bisexual who not only “does” him but who desires Seneca’s girlfriend.

22-Year-Old Stud Muffin:  ”Sure. I’ll do it!”

The guy eats his Wheaties!

18-Year-Old Hottie:  “Thanks. I’ll set it up when my parents will be gone for the evening.  You just go over and get it done.”

Favor2

At the appointed hour, the stud muffin arrives and is led into the little girl’s bedroom.

16-Year-Old Gorgeous Virgin:  “I don’t like you. I never want to see you again. I just gotta get rid of this!”

The stud muffin assumes the legendary missionary position, but cannot gain entrance.  Seneca has not heard that he is overly endowed but, believe me, to the depths of his soul, Seneca hopes that he isn’t.

Seneca doesn’t ask, okay?

The stud muffin then reclines on his back and let’s the little girl take over.  She assumes the cowgirl position and, after much effort, the deed is done.

Seneca’s girlfriend listens to the story, wide-eyed.  At age 27, she is feeling the effects of advanced age.

Who isn’t?

Seneca’s own head is spinning, realizing that he is an alien transported into a strange new world.  He thinks:

How do I get outta here?

What Do You Say to a Hottie at a Liquor Store?

Emily

Emily” by Titus Powell
Friday, September 25, 2009:

Elaina wonders what men would say to a woman in the below situation and how our responses would change as we age:

The Situation:

A sexy woman is in front of a man in line at a liquor store.  She turns to him, bats her long eyelashes, and says “SOMEBODY has good taste!” referring to his choice of whiskey.

A Reply:

Rich and Pretty, a male LA attorney, says he would respond at various ages as follows:

At age 21:  “Thanks, my wife likes it too.”

At age 31:  “Thanks, my second wife likes it too.”

At age41:  “Thanks, my third wife likes it too.”

At age 51:  “How much for an hour?”

How to Read an Email

3n83m03p212114a1g691n995354c1f2361ae4

Tuesday, August 25, 2009:

Seneca received an email from a young hottie suggesting a Sugar Daddy relationship.

As if his simple charms are not enough!

After being in communication with her, he is better able to understand her original email.

a-162

Original Email:  “I am young, but have been through quite a bit in my life.”

Translation:  “I am 22, and gave up escorting two years ago.”

Original Email:  ”I want to make sure we are both comfortable.”

Translation:  “I want to be sure you can afford me.”

a2-067

Original Email:  “Guys my age are not very interesting to me.”

Translation:  ”Guys my age cannot afford me.”

Original Email:  “Since my break-up with my boyfriend, I have given up drinking at parties.”

Translation:  “I’m a former alcoholic.”

a2-138

Original Email:  “Maybe we can go out for dinner one of these nights, and see if we are compatible.”

 Translation:  “I REALLY GOTTA BE SURE YOU CAN AFFORD ME!”

Original Email:  ”I love being pampered, being cared for, spas, and fine dining. My ex-boyfriend never did any of that for me.”

Translation:  ”My ex-boyfriend was my pimp and he kept all the damn cash!”
