I thought Russian 91% was the name of the tank (excluding versions). What is a Russian that isn't 91%?

It's kind of like kayfun and kayfun Lite.

This is the Russian:

I am actually 100% Russian...or is it Russian 100%? :D

I was born in Moscow and moved to the U.S. at the ripe old age of 11.

Moved to the US at age 11? Sorry Comrade, I don't think you're Russian anymore.

And YOU provided her answer. Even though she doesn't want to accept it.

Are you implying that our resident AlphaMaleStringStrummer has lost his heritage simply because someone dragged him to this soil?

That is SO not fair.

@AlphaGuitarist , I support your claims to the Kremlin. Don't listen to TO. She's just bitter because they haven't released the Ghost White yet. She'll be fine in a few days.

Watch her though - she stalks. :lol:

Haha you're absolutely right. I went back for the first time 3 years ago to visit my grandmother and check out Moscow as an adult. It was an incredible experience, but I really felt like a foreigner when I was there.

I stand corrected.

Actually, I'm seated. So, I sit corrected.

Speaking of Kremlin...my wife and I spent an entire day there, checking out different exhibits. I was somewhat shocked to find out that Katherine the Great was a woman of, uh, extremely loose morals.

I always knew there was something about her that I really liked. :thumbs:

Yes, that is exactly what I am implying. Eleven is a very impressionable age. Cultural aspects like music, TV shows, games, slang, etc. will become completely embedded. I don't believe US culture is superior, but it's unique and hard to get rid of. Toys! Toys! Toys!

And while I'm not interested in a Ghost White, I do like to stalk.

ETA: I may be completely off base, but I was under the impression the name came from the Russian being a 91% replica of the Kayfun Lite.

You saw the pictures 'above' ... the name for the 91 supposedly came about because it was 91% the size of the full size Russian.

Oh yeah, I became Americanized very quickly. Any time I find myself in the company of older Russians (ones who were adults when they moved to the U.S.), I find it very difficult to tune to their wavelength, so to speak. Cultural traits are usually ingrained during one's formative years and it's extremely difficult to shed them once a person has become accustomed to them.
