The other half of me is saying, "that boy ain't lookin' too good, like his cheese gone done and slid off his cracker."
A few sessions with a masseuse and my bursitis was right as rain. He's got the rubles for it, so I guess I can rule out Putin getting a shore shoulder from working twelve hour days for three weeks on a computer, and maybe his cheese really is in free-fall.
