Yer Monday Funny: So, What Does One Guy In Russia Think of the POTUS?

And no, I’m not talking about Vladimir Putin.  Based on recent events in the Baltic (see here and here for details), I’m guessing pretty much everyone in the world has a fair idea of what Putin thinks about the Current Occupant, 1600 Penn Ave.  (smile)

But apparently he’s not alone.

The guy in question is named Dmitry Zhdanov; he lives in eastern Siberia.  He runs a place called the “President Cafe”.

Zhdanov apparently is a huge fan of Vladimir Putin.  The POTUS?  Not so much.  This photo pretty much says it all.

The UK Telegraph has an article about the cafe.  If you have a few minutes and want a chuckle, IMO it’s worth a look.

No word on where Zhdanov buys his TP.  (smile)

    I’m opening a Latino-themed, commie cafe in Berkeley. It will be called the Mao-Che Ole. All drinks will be watered down, the food will taste like crap, the small tables will be tightly bunched, and the decorating will be done by a blind man. The prices will be high, the menu will have three items, two of which will always be unavailable, and the glassware and utensils will be covered in fingerprints. There will, of course, be a special place–the Castro/Sanders Room–for Party leadership who will enjoy the finest cuisine and top-shelf liquor.

      What kind of TP will you stock in the restrooms? (smile)

      1. Skippy

        the Obama and comrade Bernie Tampons of course every thing will always be out of stock

    2. A Proud Infidel®™

      Would that place also have two sets of restrooms, one ill-maintained and supplied, say no toilet paper like Venezuelans enjoy life and the nice ones for the party elite?

      1. Stacy0311

        It will have 17 different bathrooms. Each one designated for a different spectrum of the Gilbert self-identifiers.

      Occasionally have some of the patrons shot.

      1. Hondo

        If he does, he’ll have to call it the Stalin-Beria Bistro.

      2. 2/17 Air Cav

        I loves it. Executions Every Friday and Saturday.

          Oh! Just like a lot of joints in south Chicago?

          1. Hondo

            South Side of Chicago? Sounds like the baddest part of town!

            1. Claw

              And if you go down there

              You better just beware

              1. Claw

                Especially if you start eyeballing a girl named Doris.

      It’ll never work 2/17-too many other businesses in that area are already using that business model. You’ll have too much competition.

      1. 2/17 Air Cav

        Rats.

    5. Jarhead

      2/17….Don’t forget to have a “Former Beatnick” room where former Berkeley posters on this site can spew their liberal fantasy.

    6. will you be serving Molotov cocktails ?

  2. LOL! Funny. I have that same style toilet paper with Putin’s face on it that I got from Ukraine.

    1. Hondo

      Who says the former Soviet Union doesn’t understand political satire and turning a profit? (smile)

      1. Reposting here, because I accidentally hit the wrong button and wound up posting a reply to Ex-PH2, because there’s not enough coffee in the world for this Monday morning.

        Oh, they very much do. In Kyiv there are these HUGE billboards all over the city that have PTN-PNH (in cyrillic letters, which don’t work on this site). It’s shorthand for Putin-Go to hell (or go to dick, if you want a direct translation). They knew they can’t overtly spell it out, so they do it that way. Huge billboard space and bumper stickers all over town on cars.

        Also this toilet paper isn’t the ONLY type of toilet paper they have with Putin’s face on it. I have four rolls and they’re all different, calling him an evil troll and such.

        Here’s one such billboard.

        There are others, calling him a dick too.

        1. Hondo

          Что вы подразумеваете, не пожелтевшие алфавит? (smile)

          (Cut/paste from Bing Translator seems to work.)

  3. Ex-PH2

    And I thought I’d seen everything. Now I know it still hasn’t happened.

      1. Oh, whoops! Meant to post that in response to Hondo, and somehow wound up hitting the wrong button, because I’m an ass.

        1. Hondo

          An ass? Nyet. Merely caffeine-deprived. (smile)

          1. 2/17 Air Cav

            Why is it that the parts of the anatomy that are, um, the most fun are always used as some sort of insult? Except tits. No one is ever called a tit and I don’t think the derisive term “boob” has anything to do with breasts. My mind is a terrible thing.

      2. Ex-PH2

        That is a lovely billboard!

        Vlad is, indeed, an ass, but he’s my kind of asshole. I think I could take him on, and I’d win. I could probably drink him under the table, too.

        1. I fully admit, I’m a lightweight when it comes to booze, but that said…

          Putin doesn’t drink.

          1. Ex-PH2

            Bummer. Okay, stuffed cabbage rolls. We’ll see who gives up first.

            1. LOL!! I can totally do those!

              Yeah, I found it weird at first too, but it does fit his personality profile. The last thing he wants is to lose control in any way.

              1. Hondo

                May come with the territory in his former line of work – at least for those with high aspirations. Andropov was reputedly also a teetotaler.

                1. OC

                  C’mon Ex, say it.
                  You’d hit it. 😉

                2. Ex-PH2

                  In my Younger Dryas time, I’d have nailed him before he knew what hit him.

                  Yeah, I’d still hit him. Maybe if I sent him some fan mail, he’d give me a guided tour of one of the Zapovedniks (conservation areas), places that only squirrels and other small critters can get through.

    The TP probably comes from Wiley E. Coyote’s mail order outfit, the ACME Corporation.

    ACME has just about everything you could ever think of and the time span from ordering to customer receipt is only about five seconds.

    ACME is even faster than Jimi-Johns.

    Will tinny music be played? Does the alcohol taste oily? Have We Have Always Been At War With Eastasia? The big question, though, is do you love Big Brother? (Substitute any word you like to replace ‘Brother’. The word ‘government’ seems appropriate.

    1. HMC Ret

      Wow, I really hosed the above post. As one noted, there isn’t enough caffeine for this Monday morning.

    2. Ex-PH2

      Freshly made pot by yours truly at the coffee mess table. Chief. Just don’t take the first cup. There’s enough caffeine in to wake The Dead.

      1. Hondo

        Give Jerry Garcia a cup. Miss the old hippie from time to time. (smile)

    QUESTION: Anyone see the Fox show last evening (aired twice) about the fragile state of our military, what with troop reductions, etc.? It told me little I didn’t know or suspect, but it did serve to piss me off.

  7. 2/17 Air Cav

    “but it did serve to piss me off.” Which is one of the reasons why I no longer watch the news at all. I stopped watching local news decades ago and have since advanced to dismissing the bigs. I check in once, occasionally twice, per week online for the news. In the event of a national calamity, I will tune in–a day late, after most of the early errors from eager reporters who run with “I heard that” have been corrected.

    1. Ex-PH2

      That’s a good reason to get news from Reuters or the Euro news services like Franc24, Agence France Presse, or Der Spiegel. Even the BBC news online is less ditzy.

  8. That’s the perfect spot for the pansy in chief’s picture to be splattered on.

    1. Ex-PH2

      Please don’t insult pansies. They are not only pretty in a bouquet, but they signify getting a grip on your thoughts.

      It’s much easier to refer to him as bo(B.O.) da(the) prez (in name only).

    1. Jarhead

      Hey Doug….as advertised on Amazon.com, the toilet tissue sales pitch reads, “The reactions are priceless.” Does that mean every time you wipe with that tissue, O B says, “Are you SURE this is the same stuff I’ve been dishing out for years?”
