The zoom call between Geno, Sergachov and Orlov. Tarasenko was supposed to be w/ them too, but he had an allergic reaction to something and isnât feeling well right now (interviewer said that itâs nothing serious, just his skin is effected). At the beginning, the interviewer asked them the usual âwhere are you, how are you doing â question and asked Geno to go 1st, bc heâs âthe older guyâ between the 3 of them. Geno went âwow, when have I become âthe old oneâ?â and then proceeded to joke about+
Full translation below the cut
+ being old throughout the whole interview. About the training during quarantine: he canât train too hard, bc there are no trainers w/ him and no one can give him professional massages when his muscles and old injuries hurt too much. Heâs just trying to stay in shape. When do they think theyâll be allowed to come back to the rink? Theyâre waiting until May 1 and then theyâll be told if theyâre coming back or the quarantine will be extended. How long do they think theyâll need to get back in +Â
+ shape? Geno said, he hasnât skated in 1,5 months. Heâll need 2-3 weeks of training camp. âBut Iâm the old guy here! These two will need 2-3 days tops!â *everyone laughs* He says theyâll still need some games before playoffs, to gain some skills back: âYou canât just not skate for 2 months and then go straight to playoffs. Weâll need to get in shape for tough games.â Interviewer doesnât get Genoâs jokes and ignores them, when Geno is chirping. The other guys laugh, but are pretty quiet. Best+
+Russian player in NHL? âBetween the 3 of us?â *laughs* Sergachov starts saying something, Geno interrupts him âYou canât say Kucherov! *laughs* No Kucherov, no Ovechkin!â The interviewer then says that they canât pick teammates. Sergachov picks Panarin, Malkin *Geno smiles* and Orlov. Geno also says Panarin. âLetâs imagine, the 3 of you and Tarasenko are playing for Russian national hockey team. Who would you want to be the 5th player with you? But you canât pick Ovechkin.â Geno says, they +
+need someone who plays with right hand (bc the 4 of them are lefties) and picks Kovalchuk. Sergachov picks Kucherov and Geno yells: âOh, come on! Pick Stamkos! Heâs right-handed too! I canât with you!â *everyone laugs* (god, I love him! Heâs so funny and easy-going) Whoâs the funniest Russian in NHL? Kovalchuk and Gusev. Sergachov is asked next and Geno immediately interrupts him and goes: âZadorov! Thatâs his bff!â (Genoâs mercilessly chirping poor Sergachov throughout the entire interview.+
+Probably, just to bring some comic relief, bc he seems quite shy and reserved.) Who would you want to be quarantined with? Pick your teammate. â2 months with any of them is waaaaaay too long! We already spend 9 months of the year with them.â âSo you donât miss any of them?â âOh, Iâm not even answering their msgs in the group chat. No, of course weâre talking on video calls.â If you had a chance to sit in the locker room between 2 hockey players, dead or alive, to talk to them and ask them any+
+questions, who would you choose? âPeter Forsberg and Joe Sakic. I was their big fan when I was a kid. I had their jersey and caps.â The best thing youâve experienced during the quarantine? âFinally got some sleep. I got some rest, got to spend time with my kid. Weâre very close right now. Iâm trying to put him on roller skates and later get him on ice.â What one crazy story about this quarantine youâre gonna be telling your kids and grandkids? âNot many exciting things happening to me right +
+now. But the situation itself is very scary and I hope itâll never happen again.â Imagine this happening 30 years ago. What would you do w/ all your free time, w/o internet, phones and video calls, or social media. âAlcohol is our everything! No, Iâd probably just go for many walks, read a lot, learn to cook better, etc.â All of you are playing in eastern conference. What part of each others game do you miss the least? Sergachov: âMalkinâs hockey IQ is over the top. Heâs very intelligent.â +
+Geno goes âOh, tell me more, tell me more! Donât hold yourself backâ âOh, donât worry, Iâm not going to.â âWait, Iâll take my earphones off *takes them off* Now you can go. You never tell me this when weâre playing in national team together! You would only say nice things to Kucherov!â Sergachov: âI didnât want to stroke your ego too much. Now weâre all doing nothing, so you could use some confidence boost.â Geno says that both Sergachov and Orlov are very fast, very intelligent about their +
+ play, are offensive defensemen, but he still managed to put some goals past them couple of times. Sergachov: âI blocked couple of your pucks that one time!â âOh, so what? You want me to tell you that youâre good at defending?â *Orlov cackles like crazy* How hard is current situation is for you psychologically? Can you compare it to any other experience in your life? âOnly my knee injury. Psychologically, Iâm fine. Iâm with my family, with my son. Iâm very happy. The hardest thing is not +
+for sure, when weâre coming backâ Geno gave a big shout out to all the doctors and medical staff fighting the pandemic. Video games question. (Sergachov is playing Fortnite with Kucherov. Geno immediately went âDuh, obviously! Whatâs new here?â) Geno isnât playing anything bc his computer and everything are in Pittsburgh. âGive us some message for fans.â âLet me go first, since Iâm the old one here!â He wishes to stay healthy (the fans and their families). To stay at home, follow the +
+instructions the doctors give us. Everyone should take this pandemic very seriously and not just go out for picnics and stuff like that. That's all. There should be 12 parts of this ask. Let me know if something is missing :) - Gino anon
Seriously, thank you SO MUCH Gino anon! This is great!Â

A Letter from âCrawlyâ to Azirapil
This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex.  Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. âCrawly,â it appears to be begging for the otherâs return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham.  The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown, and all three names are quite unusual.  The letter also mentions a Mr. Ea-naᚣir in Ur; if this is the same Ea-naᚣir as the merchant mentioned in UET V 22, 29, 71, and 81, then the original letter would be dated to the Larsa period, around 1800 BCE.  However, this particular copy appears to be a scribal exercise; the writing is relatively unskilled, and the cuneiform is Neo-Assyrian in form.  It is unclear whether the text is based on a historical letter, or if its unusual names and content were invented for scribal practice.
Text:
Tell Azirapil [1]:
Thus says âCrawlyâ [2]:
When will your time in the West be finished? Â Abiraham [3] seems very dirty, and I am weary [4] in Ur. Â [There is] a talented mirsu-maker [5] on Wide Street!
Watch out, for I have acquired a new friend.  His name is Ea-Naᚣir [6], and I may play wickedly with him if you do not return. Â
Come quickly!

My friend does something similar at work - thereâs a âlunch clubâ where anyone is welcome to join (though for logistics, itâs easiest with around 5 people) and everyone rotates making lunch for everyone once a week. You get to try different food 4/5 days without needing to cook! Everyone saves money and eats healthier :)

Hey, @the-rain-on-your-dandelions, has anyone told you that youâre a genius? Thatâs an incredible system. I wish I had a friend group that could function for!

favorite bits of the cast interviews in the LOTR special features:
Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Woodâs âoh it hurts, babes, and I canât ride the horse, babesâ and Viggo Mortensenâs âthey can be very fragile, elves, especially theâŚMirkwood strainâŚâ)
Ian McKellen commenting that âthey never did find any suitable underwear for GandalfâŚâ
Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just mutters âone could perhaps say something about Mr. MonaghanâsâŚproclivitiesâŚâ
Dominic Monaghanâs imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast. âYou have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!â
John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and saying âif an elf and a dwarf are in a boatâŚandâŚthe boat goes underâŚlet us say that the blame was not placed on the elfâ while Orlando Bloom splutters âheâs a big guy, man!âÂ
Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings
Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Woodâs scale double) started telling him âif the boat tips overâŚsave yourselfâŚI canât swim.âÂ
Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other
Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said, âI cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.âÂ
Viggo Mortensen mentioning that he left a weekend rehearsal and went walking down the street still swinging his sword around, and promptly got the cops called on him
#lotr#i fucking LOVE lotr#the books and the movies#i love how everyone is taking the piss out of orlando bloom#i wonder how much shit he got for the whole mystical farseeing elf thing
