Fun with Bulgarian Euphemisms
Oddest spam received today: an announcement of the National Bulgarian Radio Big Band's production of The Best is Yet to Come, a tribute to Frank Sinatra. The Bulgarian band is available for bookings, in case you have a dance in need of music.
But, that in and of itself isn't so unusual. It's this teaser that seems to indicate that the translation from Bulgarian to English skipped a beat somewhere:
Disappearance? Do the Bulgarians know something we don't? Are or things just that bleak in Bulgaria nowadays?
On the other hand, some people still insist that Elvis is dead.
In my mind, I kept replacing the word "radio" with "rodeo." Heh. You get all the good spam.
Has it really been 10 years since Frank disappeared?

I've always been lucky that way.

I had to look it up on Wikipedia because I didn't believe it either.
I wonder if Frank ever recorded the National Anthem?
Yes, but probably not in the way you're thinking.
