From Harry Vroegh: While the proletariat of the Awktyabr revolution are marching and demanding bread, let us NSCS capitalists march to our local Dominick stores on May 8, 9, and 10 and stock up on some fine Russian caviar, vodka, borscht, and other high-priced delicacies so we may be led to financial victory thanks to the 5% return on all our purchases. Thank you--and Bawrba!
