Russia has a string of young male prospects ready to plunder future Olympic gold in figure skating but top coach Alexei Mishin says his countrywomen are fit only to work on the railways.
"Russian women are not very good for figure skating," Mishin told Reuters on Friday. "They are good for building rail tracks in Siberia, for example. They are just too strong and big."
Mishin, a former medal-winning figure skater whose top pupil Yevgeny Plushenko won gold in the men's figure skating on Thursday, said he has a new generation under his charge ready to take over when the champion decides to quit.
"There will be another champion and he will be a great one," he said. "You'll just have to wait."
My brother went to law school with the guy who wrote Rounders. Still plays cards with him occasionally. I've never asked him if Rounders quotes are forbidden at the table.
I know the family of the actor who played Danny Noonan pretty well. They have no problem with Caddyshack quotes on the golf course.
Some of my friends love to play poker. They met a guy who has a regular poker game at his house (the setup seems somewhat illegal but oh well) and they call it KGB's. I like that movie better now that I understand what is going on in Texas Hold 'Em.
No catch.
Unless...I do like it when guys buy me shiny and expensive things, especially firearms.
Let me guess, Resident Evil?
No breasts? No thanks.
That movie rawks... except for the girlfriend character. I watch poker movies for the poker. She is the anti-poker. There is no poker when she is on-screen.
Word is that this particular railworker was run over by a train.
I think these FReepers would disagree with you. =)

Are you sure that this particular RR worker didn't force a derailment just by her presence?
I bet Michael Jackson digs Sharapova.
Agreed. Has Miss Mishin forgotten all the Russian women pairs skaters and ice dancers who are always in the top ranks?
I think you missed you may have missed my point.
Probably, can you clue in this slightly confused FReeper?
Hispanic women on the other hand........just get huge!
(I just wanted to finish your sentence for you - you're welcome!) :)
