Apparently just yesterday the powers that be in Tashkent met to appoint the successor to the unsucceedable Islam Karimov, when the proceedings were quickly interrupted and boilded into chaos when a knife-wielding clown, likely the same that had been rampaging from Finland down to Estonia, apparently on his way to Uzbekistan. Luckily, my friend Arslan Levantinov was in the room and was able to give me this brief not:
Rick,
It was chaos. I know nothing. We had just been seated and Gulnara was calling for order, having just dashed in from the ladies, when this masked giant broke in and began flinging mineral water bottles about, tossing some into the air and slicing them in two with a very sharp knife that appeared to be an Andujar Bowie Special. A ring of the nearest pols spread into the next circle and brawling ensued…I managed to snap one photo. (Security was unaccountably absent!)
God knows what is next for our country.
Arslan
