вторая половина?
Именно так. Или спутник жизни. По факту, независимо от штампа в паспорте или какой иной бумажке. В СССР это жестко пресекалось, в России до сих пор смотрят косо, а в Штатах - в порядке вещей. Даже на официальные мероприятия порой приглашают - не с мужем/женой, а с SO. Вообще, подобные вещи очень сложно переводить - именно из-за разницы в менталитетах. Girlfriend может быть как подружка на одну ночь, так и женщина, с которой живешь десять лет, имеешь общих детей, но по каким-то причинам не можешь или не хочешь оформлять отношения официально. |

MSL:
Thank you, best wishes to you too! Speaking of holidays - you know that there is no such thing as "Motherland Defender's Day" in States. We have the Veteran's Day instead - a day dedicated to all veterans of all wars, from Mexican-American war to Iraq campaign. In reality (though not official) it's also a day of remember for all veterans of all armies, including German and Japanese. The war is in the history, and there were a couple of international events where former enemies sat at the same table, drunk and talk to each other. They are not enemies anymore and respect each other as a skilled opponent who served his country the best way he can, based on his best understanding of patriotism. And speaking of so-called "men's day" - in States it's Father's Day, not associated with any military at all. On the other hand, so-called "women's day" is Mother's Day, not March 8th. And Valentine's Day for young couples and Significant Others. We definitely need Kid's Day when kids can do whatever they want - but just one day a year :) |

Actually, we have the Armed Forces Week :) And yes, the Armed Forces Day too. As well as Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard days. Though our rangers, paratroopers and Navy Seals does not swim in fountains, like their Russian colleagues, they have a lot of other funny traditions :)

Speaking of typing - I think that my girlfriend can give you a master class if you like. She SMS me all the time from her cell phone, in part, from a highway at 70..80 mph. I'm not so crazy and reply her only from traffic jam, toll plaza or red light :))) |

Brush up your Russian!!!
Легко... :)) Прапорщик Пилипенко, прозванный подчиненными Петром Первым по причине перманентного пьянства, полз по пластунски поперек Панамского перешейка, привычно пристроив поперек пуза порядком проржавевший пулемет "Печенег". Полный полулитровый пузырь португальского портвейна приятно похлопывал по поджарой попе... |

А вот загадка любителям фантастики.
У Энн Маккаффри есть фэнтези-сериал "Всадники Перна" (Ann McCaffrey, "Dragonriders"). Одни из основных героев - полуразумные драконы пяти различных цветов. Золотые и зеленые - самки; бронзовые, коричневые и голубые - самцы. Собственно, загадка. Предположим, в следующей книге автор вводит еще два вида драконов - черных и серых. Какого пола они будут? P.S. К теме топика имеет самое прямое отношение :) |

Anybody else? C'mon, guys :)
The original book was written in English and translated to Russian. So we have Bronze, Brown and Blue dragons on the first hand (boys?) and Golden and Green on the other one (girls?). It's almost impossible to get such combinations by a random color pickup, so it's done by purpose. The only thing left is to put Black and Grey dragons to this pattern. Pretty straightforward :) That's the perfect example of "lost in translation" matter. |

Some kind of it. "Shvedskiy komsomolets" has shown a way. But Lamborgini in Svarovski - does exist. That is just the model. But there is an Original. http://img.photobucket.com/alb ... |

Yeah, that's exactly what I had in my mind - "Shvedsky Komsomolets" :)
A Lamborgini covered with Swarovski strass - well, I never heared about it, but do believe. After golden Kalashnikoffs, laptops in genuine crocodile skin, other laptops in Swarowski crystals and all such stuff - nothing fancy. Just wondering how much is the insurance, especially for a body repair :) |

Using for visiting couple of restaurants nearby only. So she has two options: go to a restaurant and drink Cola - or drink as usual and then drive her Swarovski Lamborghini back (and try to put it into the garage). I can't say which one is more stupid. But... If she can afford such kind of car - she can probably afford a personal driver/bodyguard as well. And such car calls not just for a bodyguard or two, but for SWAT team on a heavy SUV or even M2 Bradley :)) |
