RUSSIA UPDATE

I think this says Ridley and I are wanted for espionage. Also in my case for flagrant "just took a shower" hair.

[Not My Usual Alias]

Writers... just want to have fun.

I'll leave the rest of the lyrics to the professionals

[Vladimir Putin]

It says you both work for the CIIIA, but no one knows what that is. Also mentions 'rabbit burger' for some reason, and boogers.

[Clankie]

It says do not laugh at these two; laughing is forbidden.

[Yakov]

In Soviet Russia, jokes laugh at you!

[manual tomato]

I see you brought Donald Trump's coonskin cap to Russia for disguise purposes.

[AmoebaStampede]

It's an article honoring the two of you for your participation in the Vodka & Potato Bucket Challenge.

I had a sense of humor in school, you had it not, and handsome face! Now something, maybe it really is important. Only too late (laughs).
Thank you Google translator! I like your hair Dave. It gives you a wind swept, devil may care look.

[ligirl]

you don't know how lucky you are, boys

[jon]

At least you:
a) have hair, and
b) took a shower!

[MOTW]

Thank you, nursecindy! That sounds just like our Dave and Ridley doesn't it?

[Suzie Q Wacvet]

I should translate this for practice. I actually used to be a Russian translator in the Army. No, really. Как сказать "booger" на русском языке?

[klezmerphan]

The caption says, "Popular American writers Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson talked about what should be a modern children's literature" -- insight which really captures the essence of their writing.

Nice, ligirl.

Did anyone else try holding that page up to a mirror?

[nursecindyfanclub]

Dave comes off more brooding and intellectual in Russian translated back into English, but is interesting article on the side:

Its tablet closer to the body
The correspondent of "HB" to understand, so if we sit tight on foreign "pharmaceutical needle", as they say, and there is a chance to get off with her

[Cheesewiz]

Is Dave on the Mesozoic diet or was the food that bad?

[Emmett Flatus]

I thought the interview was well done. However, there could be some blowback because of the part where you volunteered to coordinate the overthrow of...

[Howard from Broward]

From what I remember of the Cyrillic alphabet, "Ридли Пирсон" is the transliteration of "Ridley Pearson", and "Дэйв Барри" means "guy who needs a haircut".

"We wanted to create the world where to us it will be cheerful"

.................................................

Ten years ago they united to write the children's book as experiment. Experience went off with a bang – the "St. Petersburg and Hunters of Stars" series totals five books, many thousands circulations and millions of won children's hearts.

Your joint book – background to the well-known fairy tale about Peter Pan of the Scottish playwright James Mathew Barry. Why you chose the ready hero, but didn't invent a modern history?

Ridley: It in general turned out incidentally. I read to the daughter of "Peter Pan", and she suddenly asked: "The daddy and how Peter got acquainted with the captain Kryuk?" I didn't know the answer. Also I decided that it is possible to write about it the book – who such St. Petersburg, from where it undertook why is able to fly... Before I worked hard over detective thrillers, and Dave wrote years satirical columns which received various awards, he has such fervent, boyish humour. And here I thought if to unite two of our voices, to add adventures, it can funny turn out.

– And what, Peter Pan for the American children some special character? Cult?

Dave: That you, the cult character – Harry Potter (laughs). But the history about the boy who is able to fly and never matures, strongly sprouted in culture of all English-speaking countries. In the States, by the way, very few people read the original. But all watched Disney's animated cartoon. Here it the precisely cult.

Is Dave handcuffed again?

[Mikey123]

Dave, Tolstoy, Pasternak, Ridley

[MazarLarry]

Suzie WAC-- they didn't teach you to say booger at DLI?

[Suzie Q Wacvet]

MazarLarry - Nope. Well, maybe. If they did I forgot.

My English-Russian dictionary doesn't have an entry for "booger." "Snot" is сопли (SO-plee).
