He's quite funny & smart in his native language, and in English too as his speaking skills continue improving. @ Lee:

I'm not sold he said any of this. Is that the point? I’d find it funnier if I didn’t think it was a joke. I’m not sold he said any of this. Is that the point?

I'd like to come up with a bunch of random questions to ask Ovie. I'd like to know his thoughts on Mean Girls and artificial intelligence. Wow, that is the most hysterical thing ever.

BTW loved your Ralph McQuarrie reference via the new REM cover, nice. :) @ Starter Wife:

I love bits like, "like it says in one Russian movie." The cut on Crosby is beautiful, but a little uncharacteristic. I'm still entirely undecided on whether this is meant to be read straightsky or boguslavsky, but either way, I love it. This is indeed a hilarious interview.

Man, we should let kids be kids. My fave interview with him was after his rookie season, when someone asked him what he was going to do in the offseason, his reply was along the lines of, "I'm going back to Russia to go to bars, drink a lot, and get into fights."
