Array So I Heard 3 So, I heard that Yuri Gelman was actually the genius who was behind the tampering with pentathlete Boris Onishenko's weapons back in the 1976 Olympics. It was a remarkably prescient move for the 21-year-old. Although it undermined a fencer from his country, it was not only a weapon he didn't care about but in another sport entirely. And, in return, it was huge publicity for fencing - the only time the sport made the front page of the NY Times - and thus a brilliant way of building customer familiarity with the sport in a market that he would, more than a decade later, come to dominate. The tales of Yuri Gelman, international man of deviousness, know no bounds! -

Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Yuri Gelman will get you."

Array With tremendous amount of apology towards disturbing your yuletide tomfoolery - 'specially since it is directed mostly towards a Montanian who spends ridiculous amount of "gelt" on hallucinogenics and their food related side effects .
Please, y'all continue foraging forward with such witticisms - since surely you would do so if Yura G. or Misha S. would be replaced
by Greg M. or Buckie L. per se?
Misha S. has developed an Olympic Champion from being an 11 year old "bosyak" onwards - I know it was 1971, too long ago for most 'cept Inq - and it is such an ordinary result that it either has, can, or will be obtained by each piquant poster. -

I don't think anyone in this thread has made or even attempted to make fun of or belittle anyone other than hippo...whiter accidentally or intentionally. I now dangle to the left....my tassle. Get your minds out of the gutter.
