Kremlin for Wedding Dress – $20


kremlin for under your wedding dress – size medium

asking $20 OBO

please call number0number-number39-number6number4

 

It’s a hell of a wedding dress that requires a fortified Russian military/political complex as a structural undergarment.

Thanks, SD!

    It’s an easy enough mistake. Sparky obviously confused the Kremlin with the Kudrinskaya Square Building. Either way, if it’s $20, the realty market must be almost as depressed in Moscow as it is in some of the outer suburbs here.

    Sparky says kremlin, but really means St. Cyril–since the crinolines are “onion shaped.” Nothing to see here, Vu vill moof alonk now!

    We would probably be better employed wondering what Spark would want for crinolines of a rude turnip shape–but that would probably require a cunning plan . . .

      There is a special oil one applies to that tool, so that the concrete does not adhere or cling to it, as it is plunged repeatedly into the mix until said mix yields.

      (Side note: Do not be nearby when the vibe is removed from the concrete, it flings oil and bits of wet concrete everywhere; these bits do not launder well from clothes.)

          Not yet! The steel erectors have not shown up yet.

          Concrete is “placed” but masonry is “laid” (in both rough and fine coursing).

          Conduit requires extensive lubing before cable (“wire”) is pulled through it. The big cable to the transformer is actually pulled by a vacuum system, so it is sucked through to the [transformer] pad.

          After one is finished with a concrete pump, a tompion (sadly referred to in the trade as a tompon or tampon) is blown through the pump plumbing.

          It’s all quite racy, other than being out in the hot sweaty sun and bitter cold and driving rain for Scrooge-admiring bosses . . .

          To Build or not to Build, that is the question.
          Whether ’tis nobler in the mind
          To suffer endless tenancy
          Or to submit to the tyranny of Property Tax
          And be done with it all.
          Yea, what din is this, in the East?
          Forsooth is neither Capulet
          Nor Montague; but crew of ruffians
          To turn, ere anon, sylvan glade
          Into mudpit entire.
          And thence to affix to all
          A Spot, an indelible Spot–
          And no soap will clean;
          And no soap lave
          Nor erase
          But that it leave all
          Like poor mad Ophelia
          Forsooth, O Horatio
          Bear thee thy attention anon
          For before us is a great chorus
          Fell-ed in full swoon
          As if pierce-ed tru te roote
          By ha’-clever jape and frivolity,
          Their only bane the Port-o-Let
          Tardy in its ablutions by fair more than
          A day–whence come’t Gildenstern and Rosencranz
          To their work errant
          Ere we wall the works up in our
          English (majored) swoon’t.
          Hie them, hie them hense O Pistol
          And in speed, in speed
          E’en unto Iago and Desdemona set to task
          For ’tis hit, a palpable hit,
          For no jeweled wine shall make
          Brutus an Honorable contractor.
