        I was talking with my dad (82 and Russian immigrant) about blading here and there, my dad said pfft, we kids would skate from Brooklyn to Connie Island on metal 4 wheel metal skates and if our skates broke we would run ( I understand this to be a significant distance). You kids are can't do what we did every day, with your k2's n' crap. Actually every story me or my kids have my dad has a 1940's equivalent, and it's a good story.

        I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

          Me: Are those buffalo? Dad: I think they're bison. Me: Well it's a free world.

              I think you may be right. Some jokes are almost impossible to translate properly. Especially if you’re translating them after a couple of drinks. :-D Usually I have 1:3 success ratio.

                  You mean all the words are there? It's generally considered that the funny bit should be included, even if some of the words are left out...

                    Coney Island is in Brooklyn, but Southern tip though, it is a pretty good hike from many other parts of Brooklyn... Or your dad is a liar? ;) Ask him how the internet was back then?
