Well, us really cool motherfuckers already knew that!

What? No scanned receipt?

Caz, I'm almost sorry to say this, but Prague is every beer drinker's heaven. The Czech make the best beer I've ever tasted, no doubt about that. To top it off, pub prices on a pint of that sweet, sweet, golden beer range from 60 to 80 US cents.

So, really, the reason we haven't posted any receipts is that it would only make you cry.

Okay, that's the beer prices. How about good strong polish or russian vodka?

I know that Eliahad drank a LOT when he was in Czech long time ago...

Liniah · Post by **Liniah** » Fri Jan 03, 2003 9:55 am

Everything is cheap there. Now, I didn't price any fancy vodka, but a bottle of Smirnof that would run you 18 USD before taxes in Chicago would run you about a total of 11 USD in Prague, IIRC.

Go to Brno, prices are even less. I swear, 80 cents? Gah, that's expensive, get out of the tourist trap

Damn, that's like what Lewis Black says about drinking in Wisconsin.

"It's like the Czech nation has a EU grant for drinking. You can catch flight from the states, drink all weekend long, and still save money over New York."

Poland...the only place you can go to with 3 Zlotych and come back with 2 Zlotych and a wife.

Funny you should say that Dennis... A friend of mine went to Poland for three weeks over the holidays. He took $200 US with him and came back with $25 US... and the plan to apply for a fiance visa for his girlfriend.

Dennis · Post by **Dennis** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:05 pm

I did an internship at a company of 80 people, two of which had found their wives in Poland, one of which was blatant about it, and admitted that his wife, from Russia, was all bought and paid for, including her breasts.

Because once you've sunk low enough to buy a wife (breasts incl.), you may as well let go of all dignity.

I suppose everyone's situation improves because of it, so I don't see anything necessarily wrong with it. From an ideological point of view, I suppose it's something that doesn't go down well because it's not according the traditional values of loving the person you marry.

Daki · Post by **Daki** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:53 pm

Ye gods!

Thankfully that's not what happened with my friend. He met her while she was working in the US and actually employed her for a while. She actually owns a few businesses in Poland and had to go back to take care of a few things with that.

Yeah, stupid tradition of emotional attachment. It's just fine if marriage is about dominance and submission, "improving" someone so they fit your expectations, having paid for them so that you own them. Who cares if there's no love, no bliss? She gets to live in a nice house and go shopping a lot, and can always explore "outside options." And he gets a cufflink, and something to have sex with when he wants to, who looks the way he wants her to look and does whatever he tells her to do. Everyone wins.

I don't know about you, but there's only just so far I can go in stepping outside of stupid traditions like loving your wife and treating her as your equal.

It's not for me, that's for sure...but I suppose it works for some people.

if I ever find out the latest on how things are going (or not) with my dad's marriage to his Russian mail order bride, I'll be able to make some kind of useful comment.

Scowls jealously at Gunny.

My Grandma traveled across the country to go see her one-legged pedophile inmate boyfriend in the state pen for Christmas. Have some.

Gunny · Post by **Gunny** » Thu Jan 23, 2003 6:10 pm

did I also forget to mention that she's Cash's height, 43, has three sons and looks EXACTLY like my older sister? hmm. yeah, I think I might have left that out.

lordhellion · Post by **lordhellion** » Thu Jan 23, 2003 6:30 pm

My grandma's boyfriend has a number of kids (that he knows of) somewhere in the teens (with almost as many mothers), including one that's in the pen with him. (I think that makes us about even...)
