At age seven, I developed "Gloptch," subsequently renamed "SA++," a constructed language intended as a private code/language for myself and two associates, one of whom was referred to as "Comrade Boris."
It all started, as most apocalypses do, with a misplaced pair of pants. Not just any pants, mind you. These were Comrade Boris's special pants. Regulation Soviet-issue, brown corduroy, wide enough to smuggle a family of dissident squirrels, and held up by suspenders that had seen more action than a T-34 tank in the Battle of Kursk.
Boris, you see, was not just any comrade. He was the guy in charge of the Big Red Button. The one that could turn the capitalist West into a glowing, radioactive parking lot. And on this particular morning, fueled by a breakfast of stale bread, questionable sausage, and a "medicinal" shot of something that smelled suspiciously like paint thinner, Boris couldn't find his pants.
Panic ensued. The kind of panic that only a man who's one misplaced garment away from global annihilation can experience. He tore through his tiny, state-allocated apartment like a badger possessed by the ghost of Lenin, tossing aside propaganda posters, portraits of stern-faced Party leaders, and a collection of nesting dolls that seemed to multiply every time he looked away.
"Where are my pants, you capitalist swine?!" he roared, shaking his fist at a particularly smug-looking matryoshka.
Meanwhile, in the underground bunker that housed the Big Red Button (and smelled vaguely of cabbage and despair), the other comrades were getting nervous. Boris was late. Very late. And the Big Red Button, unguarded, pulsed with an ominous red glow, as if eager to fulfill its world-ending destiny.
Back in the apartment, the situation had escalated. Boris, now clad only in his threadbare undershirt and a pair of striped socks that didn't match (a crime punishable by exile to Siberia, in some circles), had resorted to interrogating the furniture.
"Speak, you treacherous ottoman! Where have you hidden my trousers?!"
The ottoman, naturally, remained silent. It had seen things, man. Things no ottoman should ever have to witness.
Suddenly, a glint of brown corduroy caught Boris's eye. There, draped over the television antenna (which, incidentally, only ever picked up static and the occasional, highly suspect, broadcast from Albania), were the pants.
Relief washed over him, followed by a wave of existential dread. He'd almost started a nuclear war because of a pair of pants. A pair of pants that, upon closer inspection, had a large, suspiciously cabbage-shaped stain on the rear.
He quickly pulled them on, raced to the bunker, and arrived just as Comrade Svetlana, a woman whose glare could curdle milk at fifty paces, was reaching for the Big Red Button.
"Comrade Boris!" she barked, "Where have you been? And why do you smell like a fermented vegetable patch?"
Boris, panting and sweating, could only offer a weak smile. "Long story, Comrade. Long, strange, pants-related story."
And so, the world was saved. Not by diplomacy, not by reason, but by a pair of poorly-placed, cabbage-stained pants. And somewhere, in a parallel universe, a babushka is still cursing, a goat is still possessed by Lenin, and a radioactive potato is planning its revenge. The usual, you know? Just another Tuesday in the glorious, utterly absurd tapestry of Soviet life. Or something like that. I don't know, I wasn't there. Maybe. @BigJimsWornOutTires Or was I?
