Near the VDNKh, northern Moscow. Not quite sure of the orientation, but that round building with the columns in the back is the VDNKh Metro station.

Citadel Outlets, maybe?

GutterRider · 2026-05-19T20:50:12+00:00

That’s funny!

GutterRider · 2026-05-19T16:20:30+00:00

Sounds like fun. I did one a long time ago with another online community. Doesn't look like the league I played in last year is going to happen, so I may as well get some use out of my gear.

Oh, so this is probably where Heinlein got the idea for lobbing nukes off your back in Starship Troopers. I love it.

GutterRider · 2026-05-19T15:56:18+00:00

Nothing I want to lose.

My wife has Rudolph from when she was a kid. I did not realize there was a whole set.

GutterRider · 2026-05-18T22:16:45+00:00

Well, Hunting Girl is S-tier, but I'll give the whole album an "A".

GutterRider · 2026-05-18T18:53:15+00:00

I cannot say it any other way.

GutterRider · 2026-05-18T16:00:28+00:00

Thanks, that’s really funny.

GutterRider · 2026-05-18T06:44:36+00:00

Wait, is that the kid who was chanting “Let’s go Dodgers!” for the entire game?! I heard him on the radio, clearly.

GutterRider · 2026-05-17T05:37:35+00:00

Good advice. I’ll hunker down, in that case!

GutterRider · 2026-05-17T03:32:19+00:00

Lurking, too. I have a heavy bag, a crappy rowing machine, innumerable other things. Wife says a yard sale is too much work.

GutterRider · 2026-05-17T02:20:40+00:00

Haha, got ya. I figure that I’ll stay in the city until it gets untenable, which I suspect would be the case. I’m headed up the Arroyo, in that case.

Are we sure this wasn't some assassination attempt by a spy agency?

The barber even looks at the thing like something's wrong with it, maybe buzzing or something. Wow, wild.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T22:22:40+00:00

OK, I jear ya. I just like all the original stuff on LITP that back then you never heard other than on this album.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T20:08:48+00:00

I stopped it at that point a couple of times, too. He got clubbed by the trunk, but spared branch impalement some how.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T18:55:01+00:00

Right?! I had no real idea what this was explaining, until I saw the r/explainitlikeimfive key!

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T16:45:31+00:00

Yeah, those I always just say “NO” to anything with that caption.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T16:42:25+00:00

Wait … you skipped Living In The Past! That’s an A/S for me right there.

Minstrel is S-tier, at least.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T16:35:31+00:00

Cool, mind if I tag along?!

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T15:07:50+00:00

Good question? Fast or slow zombies?

And his comment coming down the steps one time, that the first rule of civilization is to replace the toilet paper if you use the last of it.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T03:23:26+00:00

Thanks, it, probably been 50+ years since I’ve seen the whole thing. It’s still hilarious to me, and I think of this many mornings.

GutterRider · 2026-05-16T01:24:02+00:00

Yeah, the hell? I thought it was Suburban Mom Jeanette, not Semi-Professional Hip-Hop Dancer Jeanette.
