jfw: otherwise, safe travels and enjoy that real olive oil, sadly I didn't manage to grab any
asciilifeform: jfw: it's a teapot ( the kind where make concentrated tea and then can make quicker at teatime by pouring in cup + hot water )

asciilifeform: jfw: how didja end up with a ru teapot ?
asciilifeform: jfw: ty for crate confirm btw. lemme know when opened usa crate and confirm that errything you ordered is inside plz.
jfw: that's what I'm wondering! 'tis what the FGs were stowed in. BingoBoingo?
jfw: will do.
shinohai: pffft YOU NEED A SAMOVAR!
jfw: (I didn't end up with the teapot, merely the box.)
BingoBoingo: jfw: I acquired the teapot at Tienda Inglesa
asciilifeform: shinohai: samovar is for hot water
BingoBoingo: That's the box it came it.
asciilifeform: pretty great
BingoBoingo: It just happened to be the right size for FUCKGOAT packing

BingoBoingo: Layering happens
asciilifeform: ^ aviation canister, w/ 'спирт' handwritten ( alcohol )
asciilifeform: how it came to BingoBoingostan? no one knows
jfw: fell out of plane and washed up on shore perhaps. Learned a new cognate there with 'spirt'
asciilifeform: jfw: moar likely, crew 'went to town', took..
asciilifeform: there was surprising amt of commerce b/w uy and su, even in my father's time. he mentioned that as young man, working in port (odessa) several times loaded/unloaded vessels to/from montevideo
asciilifeform also found out that he has (very distant) relatives in BingoBoingostan, apparently. ww2-era runaways, supposedly owned a glass shop. whether alive in modern day, unknown.
jfw: mm
asciilifeform saw remarkable amt of old ru junk in the sunday market in '18. incl. a 'boss office phone' w/ sovok coat of arms, wiring ripped 'with meat', the kind w/ 'selector'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not too surprising given the political history of Uruguay. Even before the Fat Forehead party was a thing, the Colorado party was rather "left"
jfw: got those market pics in my queue for tomorrow, for any junk aficionados.
BingoBoingo: Consider their flag which wouldn't look out of place as the antagonist flag in any CIA assisted 1980's hollywood "action" production https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Flag_of_Colorado_Party_%28Uruguay%29.svg/800px-Flag_of_Colorado_Party_%28Uruguay%29.svg.png
