Good afternoon, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell and thank you for introducing to to the ignoble idea of Blase’ Day - to be honest I am non-committal and ambivalent about this whole idea. :-)
This reminds me of my days as a Fitstie USMA cadet in the late 1979. I played a role of Vladimir Roachevsky - Russian exchange student to West Point - as a groups of us visited the local girls colleges. I drank vodka and acted as disoriented Russian with little understanding of English.
Plenty of 'да' [ "I agree with what you say, you are right"] 'нет' ["I disagree with what you say, you are wrong"], Очень хорошо [ochen horosho] [it is fine] превосходный [prevoskhodnyy, mena sexcellent] спасиба [spaceba, thank you], у меня вопрос [u menya vopros, menas I have a question.
Since this was during the Cold War, the whole idea of a Russian exchange student was ludicrous.
