Easy Border Crossing, Eh?

Whats the other one your funeral? Or the mens room in the minneapolis airport :lol:

I have been to the Minneapolis airport... didn't wear a suit though. I saw the rapper/actor Ice T, but no Senators. (I didn't use the restroom though, so maybe I was missing something.)

The other place I wouldn't be caught without a tie is while participating in official activities at a church. (And no I'm not Catholic, so the "boys bathroom, Senatorial propositioning, priest and altar boy rehearsal" jokes need not apply here. Although... I'm waiting........)

Well I am catholic, spent 12 years in catholic schools, 7 1/2 years as an altar boy and you better sit down for this one, when I was little I wanted to be the Pope.

I almost never wear a tie to church unless someone is getting married or someone died. Other than that GOD doesnt need to see me dressed up.

I've been quiet for a few days because I was away for the weekend in Niagara Falls, ON, Canada. Very nice and lovely place. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing for a romantic getaway with their sweety. Since this question has propped up a time or two in this forum, I'll go ahead and post, it's still no sweat getting back and forth between the U.S. and our Northern Neighbours. All that's required (for a normal border crossing - driving through the lane) is a Green Card. The only thing the border guard asked was that my wife verbally verify her country of citizenship, and that could've been because the country of birth still says USSR. Easy as gravy on French Fries.

I'd also like to remind everyone that sometimes police check speed from aircraft and even when you slow down way in advance of the police cars way up ahead, it's too late, the bird already got you. $150 later, I share my story. (But don't worry, I'll be fighting this one in court. "There were so many cars on the ground, how could they be sure it was me?")

Happy Trails.... and back to the grind of living the Dream.

I always wanted to go see Niagara Falls... Maybe one day...

Ohh you should go, it's amazing!!

Is it just me or are you flexxing there?

I printed out this picture and have it hanging in my tool box at work (to remind me there really are better things in life than making plastic bags) and I got to looking at it, because I was bored, and then I remembered your post about "flexxing" and I didn't give it much thought until then.....

I'm just fat in all the right places.

I guess as long as all my photos are taken from the 4 meter range, I have the "permi-flexx" going on when in reality, the "permi-belly" is in full effect. But, thanks for noticing! My wife's been calling me kolobok for months now and I've been pawning it off as some kind of "lost in translation way of saying 'big sexy man'" and then showing her photos like this one.... I guess she'll just have to stand back 4 meters next time too!

I do have to tell you that there is one huge advantage to having a baby, noone wants pictures of Elena and I, everyone asks, "Do you have any new pictures of Aleksandr?"

Dont feel too bad Slim I have the permi-belly going too, although my wife is blunt and just says look how big your belly is getting. I did just have her explain to me what kolobok means(actually who it is is more like it). I am going to try your method I am sure I will look much better from 4 meters away and with sunglasses on, my eyes are always red from no sleep.

If you see the picture of Kolobok and then my picture (from the 4 meter range) they're really not all that different.

I did see a picture and you are right there is very little difference, perhaps you can use that to your advantage like getting into restaurants and clubs impersonating a celebrity.

I'll try that next time I'm in Moscow. I say Kolobok here and people are like, "Kolo-who?"
