I recognized it as the same sign that used to hang o...
Usual standard declarations about age, ownership etc. apply here. Salutations my droogies, and welcome back. Take in some moloko and turn your rassoodocks towards the newest episode on this ongoing tale. Okay, that's as much Russian slang as I can put together, and that's all courtesy of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. The reason for me going there wil...
