I was sucking dick in the middle of nowhere.

Business or pleasure?

For Siege, that's a false dichotomy.  ;)

I remember seeing it on TV and realizing the immensity of the event, the changing of Europe with other former Soviet Bloc nations also having gained independence or would soon as that's how things were heading. I remember before that Poland and Solidarity there, then how I think it was Hungary which was going its own way more and more. I also remember how in Romania there was fighting going on and some of the former rulers were treated quite badly, I think some killed?

"Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Great phrase by Pres Regan from a few years before.

Ceau-couscous :D

I remember being in church Christmas Eve 1989 and our minister giving a special prayer for the people of Romania.  I remember thinking that Couscous shithead was gonna get away.  Little did I know he & his wife were about to be ventilated.

That was awesome.  As fitting an ending for a pair of shitballs like that if there ever was one.

It was indeed fitting, personally I think all dictators and perhaps most politicans, certainly leaders deserve a lower level of evidence for 'conviction'.

I'd forgotten about that, but was actually quoting a Pink Floyd track on the album 'The Wall', plus Roger Walters did an epic stage show of the album at the Brandenburg Gate within a year of Berlin wall falling.

I wonder if he got invited to the celebrations?

Qaddafi's ending was pretty epic as well.
