If AW shows up at SU the day before classes start (tomorrow or even Monday), too bad all of us didn't know that from the get go. Could have avoided a lot of fan time and speculation, plus closed threads. But hey, it's summer, what else was there to fret over...
)) ... Kudos to suttree, BTW, for using a word not easily translated by Google. It is normally pronounced as "mOlodets". Taken literally, with the accent on the first "o", the word means "young fella ... with some brawn". A warrior (bogatyr', богатырь) or otherwise healthy dude, would be referred to as "дОбрый мОлодец" (dobryi=kind). But with the accent on the "e" (molodEts) the word is used in praise. As in "way to go". Likely coming from the same word, but as a done deed - the warrior having conquered the dragon. You're now versed in the nuances of Russian BS, ummm ... mythology. Nobody expects the Russian Inquisition in the AWIII thread.
