футбол is soccer in Russian but..


don't ask me how to pronounce the Russian word for football/soccer. The if you had to write it down, you'd write it as "fudbol", but pronouncing it is as it's written is a different story. To learn how to pronounce it, you gonna have to know grammar, such as phonetics and the consonants which are obviously are different than ours.

From Wikipedia, these are all Russian soccer logos. I had no idea they have or had so many of them. I can't translate them though. I wish i could. Some of them are quite cool. It seems that some of these logos are from the same team like the Dynamo team; which is a similar concept as the other site that I posted while back about the evolution of the teams' logos.

Every time I see a "People" magazine with a headline like "Where Are They Now?" or "Then & Now" , I buy it. I am not into celebrity stuff and gossip, I mean, what do I care if someone did this and that. Not my business.. But what happened to those children are probably the only thing that really interested me when it comes to celebrity, because I grew up watching some of these kids in shows like "Land of The Lost". It's interesting to find out what these child stars have become. Some became teachers, others, company chairmen, ministers, lawyers, colleges and the list goes on and on.

Sadly, others, like Brad Renfro, and many others have gone astray and are no longer with us or have had brushed with the law. If you like to find out about your favorite child star, you might him or her here at "Former Child Star". I admit I only know of a few names, but that doesn't mean it's less fun. Just a bit more useless education ;-)

I won't go on and on about what happened to whom, but I'll tell you one thing. Amy O'neill from "Honey, I shrunk the Kids" joined the circus. There is a YouTube clip of her performance.

BTW, some of these child stars are from decades ago, like Freddie Bartholomew. I better stop here, before I end up quoting more names and ruin my post ;-)

Oh, I forgot, I do often wonder whether or not actors and actresses like Zsa Zsa Gabor are still alive. I visit the "Dead People Server" ( http://dpsinfo.com/dps/ ) every now and then, to find out. It's is pretty well known site. It's the best in my opinion. I discovered that site years ago when it was still "young".

Oh yeah, I've gotten teased about that... heh
