Buzulukov's Passions

In the London Review of Books' personal ads I read this, which is presented in its entirety and with the original formatting:
Lesbian, 30, wants man's cock to play with. Also balls. Box no. 03/01.
Which is gross, you guys. Grow up. But later that night, I'm reading Anna Karenina:
"Ah, there was a story with Buzulukov - lovely!" cried Petritsky. "He has this passion for balls..."
My reading was admittedly tinged. Lovely indeed, Petritsky.

  1. OK, this is utterly bizarre & uncanny even by my standards, but I got my bangs trimmed this afternoon and my hairdresser was telling me about the two cats he's adopting from some elderly Russian lady in Brighton Beach. Cats whose names are, no joke, Lucky and...Buzulukov.

    I feel faint.

  2. Buzulukov!!!!!!!! Amazing!

    That's much, much more awesome than a famous florist named Jungles.

  3. No. Mr. Jungles is pretty amazing, too! The only thing more amazing would be...a Mr Jungles...with a cat...named...Buzulukov!!! (The exclamation points are integral appendages to the cat's name. Must be included at all times.)
