In Britain, Galina Rusanova is known
as a respected artist, actress and author who rubs
elbows with the rich and famous at London parties
and charity events. She would appear to be a
real upscale, "society" type. Last month,
however, Ms. Rusanova took a trip to Los Angeles to
meet some dude she met over the internet. I'm
guessing that the encounter didn't go so well...
On the flight back to London, the
lovely and talented Galina went a little...
let's say... 'bonkers'. Apparently,
about three hours into the flight, Galina became a
little agitated. After mixing wine with
prescription drugs, Ms. Rusanova began moving about
the cabin, bothering other passengers and mumbling
incoherently. It was at this point, the
Russian-born artist decided to drink a whole bottle
of hand soap from the airplane restroom.
When the flight attendants tried to calm her, Galina
attacked them and, at one point, she is alleged to
have "dropped to the floor and started snapping like
a dog...". She even tried to bite a flight
attendant.
Unfortunately, the pilots decided to
end the episode early by diverting the flight to
Bangor, Maine where the FBI arrested her.
(Apparently, the FBI has no sense of humor when it
comes to drunk chicks, hand soap and airplanes!)
Wow. That's one sloppy
drunk...

You don't see over-the-top, extreme
wino behavior like this very often. In fact,
in my thirty-something years of excess wine
consumption, I don't ever remember barking like a
dog and biting a flight attendant. And it's
been years months
weeks since I've seen WinoBob drink a full
bottle of hand soap. It just doesn't happen
very often. But when it does, we all get to
enjoy the story of a new Wino of the Week!
