The Tomb Of The Unknown Letter

The turn of the calendar is upon us.  At least it is upon me.  Four years – five extra days – almost an extra week – I have come to the end of the alphabet for the A to Z Challenge, but I have not come to the end of the year.  The last time this happened, I did a post about the Interrobang.  I did a post about the Greek omicron/omega.  The best I have to offer is

Kузнецов

My name – Kuznetsov, in Cyrillic script.  (My father’s name was Cyril.)  The Russians have an aircraft carrier named Admiral Kuznetsov.  It is trapped in the Baltic Sea.  They do not dare sail it out of sight of land, especially with the current contretemps with The Ukraine, lest it change its designation, and become a submarine.

There is a small town named Smithville, about 60 miles toward Niagara Falls.  In eastern Russia, there is a small city named Kuznetsk – the equivalent to Smithville.

In two weeks we will return to our regularly scheduled letters.  Do I hear a da, boychik??

Imported Fibbing Friday

Pensitivity101 brought us more from Guest Fibber Melissa Lemay in this post:
What do you think of reading these?

  1. Distelfink
    this is the term that Germans use to describe the Digital Dynamo in my Boring Fibbing Friday post. I apologize if I gave the impression that we have any of these tarmac-terror guys in Canada.  We’re far too polite and well-mannered for that.  Sorry.

    2.  Fastnacht – is what Germans call a quickie.  Bubba says, ‘Gee, Lulu-Bell, if Ida knowed you was a virgin, Ida gone slower.  She replies, Bubba, if Ida knowed you was in such a hurry, I wouldn’ta wore panty-hose.

    3.  Fergesslich – I defeated my wee, braw, Scottish mate, Geordie Ferguson, in a Glenfiddich-drinking contest…. At least I think I did.  Details of last week night are a little hazy.  😮

    4.  Fress – is recently-picked German produce.

    5.  Honswarsht – My sweet little wife has completed the laundry.

    6.  Kedreck – Kids!!?  Especially teenage boys! 😮 My son wears clothing like it’s a contact sport.  He asked for a pair of $500 Air Jordan Nikes.  I ‘compromised’, and bought him a pair of perfectly serviceable, but much cheaper, Keds.  It’s been a month, and they look like he used them to dig the Grand Canyon.  Do the people who make bulletproof vests, also make running shoes??  😕

    7.  Krex – is the Russian equivalent of Lego.  With their most recent collection kit, you can build a replica of the Ukraine, complete with bomb craters.  Somehow, they just don’t sell.  😮

    8.  Rutsch – is what my male Spitz dog is doing to the bitch next door…. the canine one, not the Karen bundle of joy that Bubba has to hump.  She’s a two-bag, and ball-gag, lay.  😦

    9. Spritz – Oh, come on!  All you lady writers know what a spritz is!

A little song, a little dance
A little seltzer down your…. white wine glass

Or red – doesn’t matter.  It helps lubricate the creative center, and if Erato never shows up, after an entire bottle of Shiraz, you really don’t care.

10. Wutz – is a little, German, scaredy-cat.  Definitely not the type of person so say something like, “Hier, holde mein schnapps, und vatch dis.”
