 Recently I have found a joke format that I've really grown fond of. Many will already know this and probably groaned at the title of this blog post, as this is a very classic and apparently overused joke format.

-Russian reversal is a joke template taking the general form "In America you do X; in Soviet Russia X does you". Typically the American clause describes a harmless ordinary activity and the inverted Soviet form something menacing or dysfunctional, satirizing life under communist rule, or in the old country".+Russian reversal is a joke template taking the general form "In America you do X; in Soviet Russia X does you".

 In other news, I have been thinking about getting [[:Monopoly|Monopoly]]. You know, the board game? It's one of my favorite IRL games and an essential part of my childhood. But, being part of my childhood, I am quite specific about the kind of experience I want. Specifically, I need the 2001 German Euro board version with the original tokens, street names and, as the name suggests, the Euro currency as the game money. Monopoly is a popular game and has always sold well, you'd think that it must be quite cheap to come by, right? In other news, I have been thinking about getting [[:Monopoly|Monopoly]].

 Well, not quite. Of course the 2001 version is no longer in production and, apparently, Monopoly isn't THAT popular that everyone just has that particular version lying around. It has acceptable availability and an acceptable price, too, but it's far from where I hoped it would be. Sad. Well, not quite.
