Russian Thing (Edited)
So it turns out that putting Cyrillic fonts on my site was breaking it in all manner of fun ways, and so I have to change how this was set up.
Here’s an image of the list translated into Russian.
And here’s what happens when you used Google to change it back to English, which makes some parts of it way funnier than I originally wrote it.

Wow, that translation’s a little off, I think.
Hey, Skippy, when you and your Russian friends rear your heads into US airspace as part of your invasion, don’t take the short route over Alaska – they’ve got you figured out, and they’re ready for your nefarious plans.

128. “Spadoinkl” – invented the word.
93. Nerve gases – is not a cause for laughter.
94. Crucifixion did not deter the officers, and to me this is not checked.
11. Not allowed to join the Party.
Maybe he’s been taken and is dliberately mis-translating to fool them.

This looks like a terminal case of Babelfish.

I like how the translation for #11 is simply “The Party.”

I forgot that the original list said COMMUNIST party untill you mentioned it. Makes you wonder what would happen if you tried translating ‘liberal’ or ‘democratic’ party, doesn’t it?

Sort of reminds me of those playing cards with Russian words on them like rockets, nerve gas, etc.
Captcha: deprecated reply, well, I didn’t mean it that way, honest!

Something tells me the man has some Russian friends. He was in the army for a while, after all. All you need is for a Russian buddy (or an American buddy who knows Russian) to do a translation of the whole list. I have a friend who’s from the Ukraine, so it’s not unheard of.

“I feel like I’m being nibbled to death by those… by those… Ah, Vir! What are they called? Small creatures from Earth. Yellow feathers. Have a long bill. Say ‘Quack'”.
“Cats.”
“Yes, that’s it! I feel like I’m being nibbled to death by cats!”

Well, the quote made sense last night. In a “Reading this is like having brain-wads pulled out through my eyes” sort of way. Less so, now. Shameful – I’ve had a making-sense failure in this temple of Sense! ;)

“Under my bed is not no evil clowns” means that there are, in fact, evil clowns under your bed. Alas.
Also, you would be wicked hard pressed to find even one Russian communist these days. Badly out of fashion, don’t you know. My Russian co-workers do NOT think that my ushanka with its Party badge is at all funny.
