  5. Is Honey and Barry Sherman count as the Canadian equivalent? Methinks Barry knew the location of the Liebel Party bank accounts in the Carribean. Not sure what that has to do with sausage.

  7. I definitely don’t want to see how Russian sausages are made. It looks like dangerous work.

    1. Nor would you want to see how Russian law is made. Bismarck was right.

  8. A relative of mine once did consulting work near Moscow, so I sent him this link. His response:

    “Pretty much nothing could get me to return, as much as I liked most of the Russians I met. Three vivid memories along the lines of the Sausage King:

    1. If one is killed in a traffic accident, the uncovered body is propped against the wreckage for a while. Some said it was as a warning to bad drivers. I witnessed this on my first trip there, and never once drove in Russia. Russian cars are death traps.

    2. We stayed in a hotel–let’s give it a generous 3 star rating–occupied by foreigners and Russian business people. One evening, some trench-coated guys–probably secret police– dragged a couple of Russians off bar stools and beat them horribly before hauling them out into the night. The blood on the marble floor was not cleaned up, and then only marginally, until the next morning.

    3. My last flight out of Moscow, the airport staff were on a wage dispute strike. Passport control was taking roughly 10 minutes to inspect and stamp one passport. Airport guards were waving their automatic rifles around, demanding bribes and terrifying everyone. There were 100s of very scared passengers backed up. I was rescued by a Lufthansa ticket agent, who grabbed my arm, told me not to stop walking for any reason, and she dragged me past passport and the guards to the plane. German women are tough.

    On the plus side, Russians do write excellent novels.”

  9. Da. I have a Russian friend who works in construction here. He said Canada is very boring. He had an ex-KGB as a “consultant” when he was in business there. You need muscle to do business there, and even then…

  11. The topic of this thread makes me wonder if there’s a Canadian sausage king. Come to think of it, I think we do. Three guesses as to who that might be…..

  13. As we read this Sock Puppet will be amending his banned weapons laws to include bow and arrows and crossbows
