Orthodox Epiphany celebrations

I like it when you guys have me constantly scrambling over to Google with new search terms.

lets see......NEctor Makhno.......Epiphany........

It would seem that quite a bit of this naked dunking in ice water we've been seeing posted in this thread and others could be related to epiphany celebrations. In one article I dug up, it said 30,000 in Moscow went out on one occasion to participate or watch. My eyes popped out a bit as I imagined thousands of Kazantip babes going for a dip in the skinny. But I gather not everyone was there doing it naked.....:) Still, 30,000 is a lot of people......but maybe 29,500 were camera weilding tourists....?

thanks!

Only in Russia....
 

Nude pig sking...

or if the hog won't pull ya...

then ride that poker.

OK, Osreb - you win the originality award. Now what in the heck do I make of this? I have all these folders this COULD go in, but where does it really belong? Babes with animals? NIP? some obscure event? Russian way of life/at home? I mean, topless winter pig racing is not something that comes up in searches every day. But the Russians are clever, and can often disguise NIP pics so that they look like real casual nudity pics. Sometimes, I really don't think they know the difference or care anyway, as nudity is often treated so casually that they may just forget it is there.

Anyway, this is just another example of why Russian pics are in a class by themselves. So often, you just have to shrug and say "here's another crazy Russian pic". Nobody else puts this type of thing up. The Japanese are in a class by themselves too, because they also put a lot of stuff up that is totally unique to that culture. Compared to those two countries, we all look a bit ordinary and predictable when it comes to nude pics (with the UK being a bit of an exception)

Osreb
Thank you for 10 000 posts.

thanks warm
 

to Klondike;

Awe! But you had to look back.

My MO is to surf the web, group pics in cataigories and post them on the appropriate thread.
i do surf some Russina sites and find pics that I feel are worth posting on your threads.

I do not have the time to look back in threads that are 20+ pages to see what is posted.
He11; sometimes I don't remeber what's been posted yesterday;

And some pics are posted on different threads and different forums. As you said a lot of OCC
regular posters surf teh same web sites.

My take on repost is thay are lke a favorite movie; you like to watch it several times and although you know the ending; you still enjoy the show.

I do enjoy your threads, pics and comments.

I feel we have a great forumand thanks to all who contribute.

I'll try and post only pics on your forums I think are new; like the pig pics.

The rest I will will post on my Anything Goes thread.

First off, congratulations on your 10,000 post.

Sometimes, your MO runs a little afoul of my MO, thats all. Other times, like with the pig post, it is surprisingly original. You never know. But here is my take on how you surf. You have a category for russian stuff, for example, and you fill it with pics you download from threads like this one. Then a few days later you reupload those same pics to the same thread. My MO says to try and make "an effort" to keep these threads as free of reposts as possible, because if I want to see a pic again (Like a favorite movie), I would rather do it on my own time and initiative (Most people do not redownload a movie to watch it again - they simply pull an exisiting copy from their hard drive). Anyway, how you make that effort is up to you, but it need not take a lot of time. My browser, for example, saves all pics I download from OCC with the filename "Attachment.php" So, right off the bat, I know that a pic with that title came from here. There are other ways that don't involve sifting through pages of threads. Like simply create a folder for this particular thread, not just Russian stuff in general. Its a lot easier reviewing 100 pics in a folder on your hard drive than it is in a large OCC thread.

i think it has been brought up before that simply recycling the same pics in the same thread may not always sit to well with the person that authored and takes pride in that thread. Anyway, thats all I got to say, and probably won't say it anymore so as to get on with the good stuff (of which you do contribute quite a bit of.....thanks again)
