At dinner Friday, I forget what exactly we were referring to as we discussed sneaky behavior, but Daddo piped up with the fact that the Russians say one's acting, "on the left."
"Sinister, if you will," I replied.
"Not just a geek, but a well-read geek," he snarked.
I was reminded of the previous Friday, when some of the folks from work and I went out to see James Bond in the park. It was Octopussy, and those madcap Russians had Commander Gogol working for them.
"He's not even wearing an overcoat!" I exclaimed, in true nerdy humor, because this rocket-girl has read her Russian classics, too. There was no response, no one caught the reference, even for a sarcasticly mocking, "hah!" came my way. It was disappointing.
