As far as I'm concerned, they should still be in biiiig trouble right now. As a look, it's second only to those 19th century huge sideburns connecting directly to a moustache with no actual beard. If those ever come back into style I'm going to have to kill myself.

> Brunnen-G, do you have any idea what the word or phrase "YISH-na-mar" might mean in Russian or Yiddish or a Slavic language? I don't know what it means, but I guess from the emphatic intonation it's a mighty fine swear word.

Sorry, never heard that one. It's not in my Russian dictionary either.
