So bad it's good...part deux

Oh, Russia, what can't you do? You, who brought us bad holiday comedy specials, endless poorly disguised drag queens and worse lip-syncing, now have offered up yet another delight: the show "Naked and Funny".

We volunteers and a local friend had gathered together at Ari's to celebrate the solstice, based on my hope that doing so would provide another much-needed distraction from the lameness of winter and pass one more dull evening with a little more pizzaz. (I later found out I got the date of the shortest day of the year wrong, but hey...no need to split hairs.)

So anyway, there we were, gathered around a table spread with many culinary delights, including a store bought roll cake stabbed with candles to commemorate our local friend's 24th birthday, and celebrating this pagan holiday as the ancients did: completely inebriated.

Then Ari noticed the time.

"Ooh, ooh, it will be on in a couple of minutes! I love this show!"

Ari, it turned out, was not alone in his love of this fine Russian blooper program -- our local friend was also a big fan.

So the five of us settled in for a delightful half-hour of Naked and Funny.

Girl walks in park, wearing specially rigged skirt. Waits to pass a young man, then pulls the string and BOI-OI-OING! it pulls up, revealing her underpants!

Man in swim suit has hat tied to his crotch with invisible string, holds hat as he approaches passerby, then let's go but the hat stays on. BOI-OI-OING!

Ha ha, underpants. So good.
