Feb-17-07  Mameluk: Now it should be right Almira Skripchenko-Lautier-Fressinet. This achievement won´t be easy to overcome however. Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin .
Feb-17-07  laskereshevsky: <Mameluk> cool....

Feb-17-07  elLocoEvans: you mean that if she later dates Tiviakov for instance, and somethings happens, then she will be Almira Skripchenko-Lautier-Fressinet-Tiviakova? oh la la
Feb-17-07  percyblakeney: It's if Almira changes direction some time in the future and marries Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin that it could get really problematic.
Feb-17-07  laskereshevsky: Well, at most Dr.Jana should be the adoptive mather of Almira.......
Feb-17-07  laskereshevsky: excuse me but all this its very fine and hilarius, i cant stop my self to post here!...
