***Sorry to disappoint you. I'm a slow drinker. Preferable size is 25-75mL.
Yes, twenty-five! Comfortable total is between 300 and 700, depending on
the party. Actually, some 8 or 10 years ago I noticed that I can recognize
and appreciate even the one and only gnat-sized 25mL doze. That was a BIG
surprise. So under-doze isn't a big deal for me. As opposed to OVERdoze.

I understand. It is interesting to note that most people who came here have quickly lost their drive to drink a lot. I don't have any idea why (must be the that free US air), but I hardly see anyone do it anymore - even those who used to be rather intensive drinkers do stop here. Case in point: we had 14 people yesterday and we went through 3 pitiful bottles of (arguably good) wine. Not that there was none more available - it just happened naturally. I am almost ashamed to admit, but I still have some hard liquor bottles that I opened some fifteen years ago...

***I still remember the standard calculation for most *good* parties back
in Russia - one bottle of vodka per person (that included women and children)
plus wine and beer.
<<<

***My friends @ 18 school "invented" Li-G-Ryl metric. That's abbreviated
Litr-GRadus-Rylo. Multiply litres by degrees, divide the product by
number of... well... persons to get the party in Li-G-Ryl's. Thorough
empirical research revealed optimal Li-G-Ryl as ~20. So your standard
is in the ballpark.

Well, "where's my seventeen years?"...

***now I wonder whether the choice of *Beethoven* Drive was intentional? :)

***True address. When we were house hunting, my wife saw the street name
and didn't want to look any further. It helped that the house was real
nice too. The company started in my 2500 sq. foot basement, all equipped,
and stayed there for couple of years, until some day my wife kicked
everyone out. She allowed us to keep the address though. It DOES sound
right, doesn't it?
>>>

***Have to admit, she's plain SMART.

That's for sure. Smart choice of husband, too...

***And you... well... plain LUCKY.
Hey... *my* wife buys me movies too!

Reason enough to keep them.

<<<
BTW, speaking of movies, started watching yesterday a strange one:
The Raggedy Rawney. Still
don't know what to think about it. Have you seen it?
>>>

***No. And the title looks completely unfamiliar. So I'm intrigued. Can you
provide some additional info on it, like year, genre, actors etc? I'll try
to find it here.

I have not finished this one yet - we got interrupted with all that Thanksgiving commotion. It looks interesting and strange with the actor I love - Bob Hoskins. This is his directing debut. I don't think you need to spend much time looking for this one.

***I have a strong feeling that *good* ones are in the past.

Remember, to me "past" is many, many years ago.

***Current are rather
in more/less *decent* territory. And with my rotten memory I need some more
time to make such a list.

***Here are few relatively safe choices. Since you've seen many, these are
most probably familiar, but it's all I can remember now.

- Specifics Of Russian National Hunting = Osobennosti russkoj natsional'noj
okhoty. Not a stupid and funny comedy.

- Love In A Russian Style (I) = Ljubit' po-russki. Sentimental. Actor playing
avove current average. Slight smell of socialist realism, sorry. If you'll
like it, proceed with II.

- Agent Of National Security = translate literally. ;-) Action, but TAKE CARE!
I haven't seen it yet, rec is based on s/h info. I'm going to try it in the
near for 16 tugriks as usual, will keep you informed.

Thank you, I copied this list and will give it to my wife. Don't know when we are going to make it to the "Russian" area in Phily, but will try. Lately I have been less than enthusiastic about going there. You see more and more faces you'd rather not see - bandits have finally arrived. Kind of crowd you see by the Botchka joint in Moscow.

***I'll make some further research, but don't hold your breath. I'm really slow
and lazy. Do you remember your request about classics for brass orchestra
@ Music Lane... looooong time ago? I got interested, it turned out that wife
is fan of this music as well, we made (and still make) some search, we've
bought a few LP's and... And I still have no comments. :((( She didn't filed
it yet, and I can't remember all the necessary details myself...

***I HATE my memory! Umm... wellll... long ago she heard live... well, it was
something like 'CCCP State Brass Orchestra', conductor was... err... Petroff?
I'm sure, neither Ivanoff, nor Sidoroff.

LOL! That is good... Can't fight THAT logic.

***And if memory serves her, they played
Pictures On(Of?:) An Excibition.

At.

***Damn. I must drink LESS.

Latest research shows one needs at least a glass of wine a day to stay healthy. Don't let yourself down.

Best of luck,

Victor.
