    I think I just got why "Old MacDonald" would be representative of the
    evil capitalist American farming system. Here you have one farmer who
    owns multiple examples of pigs, chickens and cows. In the far superior
    communist Russia farming system, no farmer could own that much at one
    time (if you could even call it "owning"). I get it now. You've been
    very educational.

    The quality of your typing is reminiscent of your criticisms of the
    automotive industry.

    ....

    if only one person got the license plate then that's you because you are the
    only one that has it

    but then why did Madame Butterfly get it too if you have it. Does she live
    in a different state so they can issue one to her that's not the same as the
    one you got?
    I'm from Roanoke not Franklin county


    the very first line. Old McDonald had a farm
    (or got a farm in your parlance I guess)

    It's all the people of the union who own the farm, Mr. McDonald can't own it

    It's nice to see you nationalizing your banks though
    if it's a CAPITALIST PIG
    then yes
    I don't know Russian

    I named her Tractor not трактор
    It was really common back then during the collectives to name girls Tractor
    because women increasingly had become tractor drivers

    Nothing weird about it

    Americans call their girls names like Taylor which is not any less feminine
    or ugly than the word tractor when said out loud and is also a nice lower to
    middle class trade name, signifying well one's working class roots.

    ago and that was when i was in the middle of my last year in UCLA.
    graduating and having the movies come out...it feels like the culmination of
    a lot of work. I'm really grateful they let me play that roll in Pineapple
    Express. I just don't think there's a ton of people that would have. I'm
    just proud of being a part of this thing"--James Franco

  5. What's a "Kolhosp"?

    You make me think of a story of the Roanoke farmboy who placed an
    advertisement in the dating section of the local paper:

    "Roanoke farm worker seeks farm girl with tractor.

    "Please send picture of tractor."

    a collective farm.

    From the first syllable - Kollektiv
    and the first syllable hosp for hospodarstvo
    I knew that guy

    love your handle

    Those Japanese cars aren't cheap.
    You simply show your dumbness with your dumb statement.

    Are you sure that's an American car?

  9. Funny, I thought that was a kolkhoz. But then I don't speak Russian.

    Anyway, the farm worker I mentioned probably first surfaced on one of
    those...

    I noticed that you, in an earlier posting, (correctly) alluded to my
    handle...

    Then what do you call the a brand new car thats comparable in size to
    the traditional older full sized vehicles? What do you call those older
    full sized vehicles? Cars like the Accord were called mid sized. The
    original Accords of years ago were compacts.

    In today's world the old size cars would be called "barges" or "behemoths".

    Kolhosp isn't Russian
    I don't speak Russian.
    I asked my mother. Kolkhoz is the Russian word.
