You know you're RUSSIAN when...

[SadaSoCool]

You know you are Russian when.......

Your idea of a normal Friday or Saturday night is spending it partying with50-100of your closest friends

Things you can't live without include food, water, and a cell phone

Instead of notes during class you write text messages to your friends in Russian font

People are always asking you if you can get them a cheep deal on something...and you can

Every sentence you say or hear starts with "blyat" and ends with "nahuy"

You can't go to the movies on Sunday night without having to save 20 seats for your late friends cuz they're buying semichki

You don't mind family get-togethers because you know theBaboonyas will be making dinner

You know all the cops by their first names

You know someone who works at a dental lab


You are somehow related to most of the people you know

On the weekends your place of residence is the pool hall, and every 10 mins the tolstii pon'chik tells you to pick up line 2

You drive a Honda (or, in the EXTREME worse case a Nissan), and your windows are tinted to twice the legal limit

You have been kicked out of the JCC at least twice for trying to sneak in without paying.

Everyone you know has a ruchka of smirnoff in their trunk.

You wake up on a saturday morning, unable to remember which one of your friends gave you a ride home because you couldn't even walk, but see your car standing in the parking lot (you drove home yourself).

You start thinking of bread as a good mixer for vodka

You know more than 30 Katsyas,Vettas, Pauls, andMarys

You have to tell your parents what channel is "YOUR" HBO, Showtime, Per-View is on.

You have a personalized license plate.

When you are going downtown you ride in one of the last two train carts.

Typical Friday/Saturday night phone call to your friends starts with "So what are we doing tonight?"

Most of your clothes are fake brand names but you "just can't tell them apart from the real ones."

You have a fake Movado because you can't afford a real Rolex.

Once in a while you attempt to go toChurch but you never make it past the door because you meet so many people you haven't seen for so long.

Some English words like "use, shop, apply, and etc." permanently become a part of your conversational

You're proud to be Russian - and you pass these jokes on to all your Russian friends!

Rather than ragging on Sada, make another list, like:

1. You know what Semichki are.

2. You go to the Seed Man after Church on Sunday.

3. You know who the Seed Man is.

4. When you say you're going to Tyotsa Manya's, your friend asks "The one on Whittier Blvd?"

5. If a cop asks you if you've seen a man in a long sleeve white shirt with a long beard, you say "Yeah, lots of them"

6. When you explain to someone that you are going to Silverton and they know where it's at.

7. Or even better, they have a clue where Kerman is.

8. You know what Kish-Mish is.

Micah...I think half of the list applys to me. I just got it off a friend...it's suppose to be for "Russians". But I like how Pavel is making a "Molokan" one out of it! Good job! :cool:
