Wopper


That's what I used to say in the Mike at burger king in plaza de espaƱa in Madrid coming by Paseo de Extremadura during my university days there. The girl at the counter would let me say it. It was so cheap only 200 pesetas for one standard whopper in 1996. Two for breakfast around midday. Yum.

Michael Douglas' character in Falling Down unreservedly has a place in my fantasy motorbike gang in my imagination.

Breakfast included. Just ask PeeWee.

Meanwhile in the real world I've found a riding gang I can join. MOB western Sydney Aborigines.  Just Facebook it.

Whopper in Spanish sounds funny. You try it.

Man it was dangerous riding tonight. Soaked through. So rainy. Slippery. Hard to see. This is definitely Michael Douglas' best role ever....

When is Trump going to start building roads and bridges? When is the wall going to be built? Is he telling whoppers?

Sergei update

Yo so just talked to senior constable Harrison at Brisbane Police. They seem pretty laid back there. I wouldn't mind being a Brisbane cop. Maybe I should apply. Then I called the Russian consulate point person in Brisbane but she was not at all helpful. Although she could speak English.

Apparently the boss of the FSB (the Federal Police in Russia) is Alexander Bortkinov... I wouldn't expect him to get involved in this case due to being so high up but I am hoping someone under him will get back to me. I found their website very user friendly and practical.  They do stipulate to address them in Russian with Cyrillic so I did that. Some possible mistranslation. The website seems intuitive as it notified me someone in the ministry of Culture would get my message:

Hey. Sorry, I do not know the Russian language. My friend from Russia. Sergey Cherkov. He died in Brisbane, Australia, October 8, 2018. His death is not considered suspicious. His father and sister in Russia should be notified. I think that his father lives in Ulan-Ude in Siberia. You can contact the police in Brisbane indicating QP1801870751 rooms. They would be happy to receive your contact information to his father, Mr. Cherkova in Ulan-Ude. You can also send me an email at Benjamin.Alvarez81@gmail.com.




You know. I have only really known three full blooded ethnic Russians. Although my kids are all a quarter Russian.  The first one was a girlfriend in Hollywood California, Helen. We dated for around six weeks before she went home to St Petersburg. I'd just spent a big part of the summer in the desert in Arizona (2006). Sergei, my Aries buddy that just died. We mostly contacted electronically from long distances but he was definitely friendly. He hosted my wife and I in Brisbane in like 2012 or earlier and we hosted him in western sydney earlier this year. And my mother in law Vladimirovna. A lot of people don't like their mother in law. Doesn't mean they're racist.

So remember I mentioned my old schoolboy days buddy Josh, around when Sergei died? Well I haven't seen him in over twenty years but we're going to catch up this Saturday!  Can you believe that? He once flew me over the house I'm in now in a Cessna around 1994/95 or earlier. Hopefully another one of our buddies will be joining us. This other guy was like my first out of home buddy.... I used to walk like a mile to get to his house when I was like five years old to hang out with him. Haven't seen him since like 1998 and most likely neither has Josh. 

Check out this music video. That's cool. Having a fancy meal outside Tiffany's in Manhattan.  They should do that on Fox news ... get butlers and decanters and stuff and eat outside. Makes me want to know the Russian word for plate and dish/meal.

Planet Benji

What's up? Can't believe my Russian buddy Sergei has kicked the bucket! He was only like 50 years old... And a vegan. You know the Russian bear character on Family Guy? That's how likeable Sergei was. Here in Australia he was picking berries outdoors a lot in rural places. Also doing a lot of hare Krishna type stuff. Also in Honolulu. Despite having excellent memories of socialism in Russia prior to the Afghan war, he never trusted banks so I think he said he was always carrying around like a hundred thousand dollars in cash somewheres. I told him to make a Will last time I saw him. He was staying with me and my family a week on the way to Tasmania. Maybe I should call the police in Queensland. Am sure his father and sister in Russia would like to inherit his money. Apparently he had a heart attack. Surprising news.

He might have liked this new movie

Saturday night


Some NASA documentary on about the astronaut Kelly that spent a year in orbit. Meaning he never walked for a year. If you don't walk for a year your muscles will atrophy. Interesting Ben facts. Around age 17 I spent 4-6 weeks of summer holiday wearing the exact same underwear EVERYDAY AND NIGHT. Granted I went swimming everyday in that underwear. But there was ZERO soap involved and a lot of chlorine. It was like a science experiment. After bragging about it to one of my buddies of the day. He was a very big guy, half Samoan half Caucasian. He tried using force to remove said underwear from my backpack,  still unwashed after six weeks, a trophy to the triumph of Will to Power. Josh wanted to seize them by force and show them off to Rebecca and Ann, two of our clique of the day present (they both seemed mildly curious about what state said underwear might be in). But it was an unreasonable search and seizure as the Americans would say. This Josh has family in LA by the way... Plenty of Samoans there. Some adrenal super strength came forward and I pinned Josh down, uncharacteristically, on this occasion. It was a fine achievement if you consider the state of the underwear too.

Anyway. Muscles atrophying after not walking for a year. That's going to be more pronounced in zero gravity... For sure. Still being a hermit shut in for a year, avoiding walking as much as possible... While having a depressive effect due to lack of exercise amongst other things... Might actually be good preparation for space. Maybe that's how the Russians do it.

Amy Shumer's angry birds badge. Kavanaugh nomination

Hey guys....

Amy Schumer, comedian from Hollywood movies, arrested at the U.S. Capitol. Big question?  Who is she wearing?  Is it an angry bird badge or a pacman ghost?? Did she get her jumper from an unemployed fat Italian man? Possibly named Luigi.


Kavanaugh nomination?  Are all the allegations made in the congressional hearing essentially horseplay?  Why are the Mariland cum California accusers parents getting a pass for letting her go to a drunken party with 17 year old boys? Why did her school and educators permit this? Why aren't they being harassed by law enforcement for bad parenting . Why does a minor (17 year old) need to be blamed for this? This is sending a message that adults responsible for minors should actually encourage them to drink, party and engage in horseplay.

These are the laws at play. And the relevant facts. People aren't guilty just because you don't like them.
