This reminds me, its almost no shave November.

I personally prefer Febuhairy. Then at the end of the month you shave your beard and you are ready for mustache march without that awkward first two weeks of growing in a mustache.

V-Day is in Feb and the ladies love a rugged man. And growing a beard in Feb is not reason to not grow one in Nov. Man up Rabbit. I sadly, can’t grow a good beard. Grows fast, but its not thick and looks ridiculous. I have hair on one side of my neck and not the other.

Arlovski to date has the greatest beard. he can go from clean shaven today, to full on russian beard tomorrow.

I think hes saying that before the priest was a priest he probably trained in some martial art and therefore is more useful than just having a priest to run with.

Fedor needs a priest with him at all times to issue last rites to his victims…

Do Orthodox Christians have last rites, or is it just a Catholic thing?

Ha. I don’t know for a fact, but the orthodox have pretty elaborate stage production and pageantry, just like the Catholic church, and generally seem pretty old school about things, so I bet they do have last rites as well…

yeah, it’s Rasputin…the unkillable mystic that has served russian czars for centuries.

good call by the way, and I find it hilarious that no one could fucking kill Rasputin (he’s taught Fedor his secrets?)

That was the first thought that came to my mind as well

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was thinking it.

The question is…was it intentional? Or perhaps subliminally influenced?

Rasputin was my go to guy for reports in grade school. I did no less then 8 reports about the man. Also on the go to list, Nixon and Australia.

by szucconi on Oct 28, 2009 11:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

that makes you the expert. so wasn’t Rasputin, poisoned, beaten, stabbed 3 times, thrown into and icy river and did not die?

by Headkick on Oct 28, 2009 1:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

He was bound with chains and thrown off a bridge into an icy river. Apparently found the next day dead, but on the bank with the chains off. Also, the treats that they tried to poison him with, he ate by the dozens and enjoyed very much. Its all stories and nothing can be told as fact. He also had an insatiable appetite for women. The story again picks up in 2009 when he trained the greatest fighter to ever live….

by szucconi on Oct 28, 2009 1:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

On wikipedia, it talks about how he might have been shot by foreign British officers.

They did all that shit to him, and it was fucking hypothermia that killed him, if I recall.

The comments are just too funny

I mean, who is that kid in the green pants? And why is Rasputin training with Fedor? And then, who are the rest of these guys because they all look like homeless bums or something? It just surprises me greatly because Fedor is the man, but you always have to ask when seeing pictures of him training “who are these guys that he’s with?”

Sorry, I'll stop.

Ya like when he blew the dried tears of 1000 angels mixed with his green breath and created SAMAEL. Hell boy is a great graphic novel I couldn’t agree more. In 200 Fedor will look like Ivan Drago not Boris Yeltzin

I have never read Hellboy. Not into the whole graphic novel thing. Didn’t see the movie. I like him from reports I did on him in grade school. How can you not like a man that can not be killed.

everyone is looking at me like im a sicko or something. (2 add Im Armenian and we use to be part of USSR.) so im very familiar to Rasputin’s crazy stories. and wow these posts made my day. i can sleep happy tonight. but the interesting thing is that that priest is the same priest that did the wedding ceremony of Fedor and his 2nd wife.
