It ...Thanks for sharing so much of your work here! It makes my procrastination not only entertaining but often educational.<br /><br />Speaking of which, I was wondering about something. I'm supposed to be studying for a Russian exam, so of course I am instead thinking about how it would work if the employees of the Airline MJN were the brothers Karamazov.<br /><br />Obviously Arthur is the dear holy fool Alyosha. Douglas could easily be the good-time guy Mitya, dashingly getting himself in and out of trouble while still harboring a deep appreciation for higher beauty. Martin could probably be Ivan, driving himself mad with his internal arguments, pride, and doubt.<br /><br />And I suppose Smerdyakov could be played by former MJN employee Nigel or by little Kieran or something.<br /><br />But I still don't know who should play the doomed head of the Karamazov family. Structurally, I'd say it should be Carolyn. But Fyodor Pavlovich is a horrible man who deserves to die, while Carolyn is a wonderful woman who should probably live forever.<br /><br />Possibly Gordon Shappey could reach some of Fyodor Pavlovich's levels of non-brilliance, but I still don't know where Carolyn would fit in, then.<br /><br />I am sure you will be relieved to know that I am going to continue considering this instead of going over Russian vocabulary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-13385725601129082752012-06-14T00:13:44.983+01:002012-06-14T00:13:44.983+01:00Thank you so much for this amazing explanation of ...Thank you so much for this amazing explanation of the Euro crisis.
