The Balki System

Well, this week has not been so good at the Balki System. For some reason or another the internet connection is out at the office. Maybe it's because Larry forgot to pay the bill. He's been spending all of his money on hookers and blow instead of for practical purposes like bills, food, and more blow.

However, Balki did the sensible thing as he had enough money saved up and sent a telegram to his Russian Counterparts and stars of "Братья по-разному", (which translates into "Different Brothers") Andrei and Ivan. Here's how things went down when Andrei and Ivan received their telegram.
(I'm not sure which one is supposed to be wacky and different and which one is supposed to be straight laced so I wrote accordingly).



Andrei: , который стартует на канале РЕН ТВ в начале нового телесезона, оказалась.

Ivan: днако в один прекрасный день, подобно грому среди ясного неба, к нему!

Andrei: день?

Ivan: городского и природного восприятия жизни, особенности национального менталитета, бытовая сметка Ивана и житейская неуклюжесть Андрея, приводят к невероятным коллизиям и сюжетным хи.

Andrei: самого широкого круга зрителей.

Ivan: людьми и...

Andrei: людьми и столичного воспитания, он, скорее, похож на большого ребенка.

Ivan: реалиях современной московской жизни. У себя в ауле Иван работал чабаном в колхозе.

Andrei: Братья начинают жить в одной квартире и вместе работать в магази.

Ivan: комичных и сложных ситуаций, которые, зачастую, сами же и создают!
