Yeah...If it were to happen in The Alamo, in San Antonio, Texas, they'd be
tared, feathered and then run out of town on a log. The Alamo is so
sanctifyed for it's historical value that you're required to speak in a
low voice, if you have to speak at all.

So, what he was saying is that Vasya and Kolya are cockroaches who are
using your cupboard as a room where you would normally find a toilet?
