I think I'm losing my mind...

So, while at Arisia, there was a lot of conversation about the huge amounts of snowfall, and how the city was handling things poorly. One person commented, "When I lived in Moscow, they'd take the snow and dump it in the river."

My immediate reaction (thankfully in my head and not out loud) was, "In Soviet Russia, snow dumps *you* in river!"

Help.

That sounds like you were channeling Yakov Smirnoff:

"The Soviet Express Card. Don't leave home." :-)

AYBABTU?

(The thing is, based on the age of the speaker, she probably made her comment based on experiences *actually living in Soviet Russia*...)

Snowed in

Throughout the blizzard, my thoughts were on Arisia, but the best I could come up with was, "Here, you get trapped in the convention by snow. In Soviet Russia, you get trapped in snow convention."

You win...
