That’s a Russian Orthodox priest, and I have to agree with Evan, those do look like Russian border guards. On a related note, that may well be the coolest priest I’ve ever seen.

Its a M1919A6, .30 caliber or if it is a newer one (most likely not, as it is an -A6) rechambered for the NATO 7.62. It could be a swedish-made 8mm, but the picture is too far away to tell for sure.

Well, see, when a mommy and a daddy love..er…lust…er…get completely drunk and wake up the next morning not entirely sure what happened and don’t believe in abortions a baby is born. Often this baby is dropped on it’s head alot. Mommy and daddy probably both drank and smoked alot while mommy was pregnant. This gives the child serious brain damage, it does eventually grow up and manages to learn simple things like basic reading and eventually it is unleashed upon a computer with internet access. Sadly, although they have basic reading skills, their writing and spelling skills are sadly lacking and they simply repeat things they’ve seen in pictures with cute kittens. Things like “LOLZ CHEEZEBURGER!!!” and “U FAILE”. It is a terrible thing and can be prevented by making sure your friends don’t get so drunk they forget about things like condom, if that is not possible, removing their reproductive organs while they’re passed out drunk is also acceptable.

Well, now I want to know what a Gurad looks like.

Actually that spelling mistake reminds me of what I heard on the commentary Track of one of the Key of Time DVDs. The designer was given the script and he read that Doctor Who was set upon by several Gurads. So he made a few initial drawings of what he considered a Gurad to look like and took them to the Director, only to be told by the Director that there was a spelling mistake on the script and it should have read Guards.

Bill Cosby’s wife is Catholic, and he did a routine about how all the standing and sitting and switching positions in general in the Catholic Church is so they can figure out who the Protestants are.

“One, two, three, stand. Look, there’s the Protestant!”

A Jew in a Catholic church??? That reminds me of the but from “Mock the Week” where Frankie Boyle was speaking of the woman who got disciplined by British Airways for wearing a Cross whilst at Work. He said “Imagine her dealing with Jewish Passengers – “Have you anything to declare and WHY did you kill Jesus”

Indeed!! I did Latin (I could have become a Priest, instead I joined the Navy) and one of the first things you learn is Sinister and Dexter. Sinister meaning Left and Dexter meaning Right. The Ancient Romans ALL thought that everyone was right handed. (In one of their battles everyone they captured, (I believe they were Gauls, although I could be wrong) had their right hands chopped off as the Romans believed that this was the correct hand for holding a sword in.) Hence Sinister for evil, and Dexterous for agile and nimble.

I’ve been in a Catholic church once for my mom’s friend’s funeral. That’s it. I was scared the whole time that someone was gonna smell the protestant on me and throw me out.

I think I’ve spent as much time at a Catholic Church as I have at a Jewish Synagogue. Two Catholic funerals and two Jewish Bat Mitzvas.

Mostly because I have spent little to no time in church in my life..

I figured it out the other day.
-Went to a Catholic preschool when I was 4.
-I attended a funeral service for my grandpa in a chapel when I was 13.
-My sister was married in a church when I was 15.
-I attended a funeral service in a chapel for the brother of my friend when I was 19.
-I attended Communion for my friend’s son when I was 25.

That’s the extent of my church and church-like activities.

I didn’t mean to imply you weren’t aware.. I was just making the connection – and pointing out that you were both correct.

It was easier than saying “ZOMG you’re both right!” and providing no supporting evidence.

Plus, for the readers, it provided the context.

So farmhands transport stolen goods from a villa to the villain? I did not know that was one of their duties.

By: Nebton

Yes, I was aware of farmhand being the intermediary between villa and villain, but I just loved making a direct connection too much to bring it up.

sinister
1411, “prompted by malice or ill-will,” from O.Fr. sinistre “contrary, unfavorable, to the left,” from L. sinister “left, on the left side” (opposite of dexter), perhaps from base *sen- and meaning prop. “the slower or weaker hand” [Tucker], but Buck suggests it’s a euphemism (see left), connected with the root of Skt. saniyan “more useful, more advantageous.” The L. word was used in augury in the sense of “unlucky, unfavorable” (omens, especially bird flights, seen on the left hand were regarded as portending misfortune), and thus sinister acquired a sense of “harmful, unfavorable, adverse.” This was from Gk. influence, reflecting the early Gk. practice of facing north when observing omens; in genuine Roman auspices, the left was favorable. Bend (not “bar”) sinister in heraldry indicates illegitimacy and preserves the lit. sense of “on the left side.”

And you’re both right – but the “farmhand” thing CAME from the term villa:

villain
1303, “base or low-born rustic,” from Anglo-Fr. and O.Fr. villain, from M.L. villanus “farmhand,” from L. villa “country house” (see villa).
