There just aren't many interesting images of cable cars.Sergei Stanishev, the prime minister of Bulgaria, was stuck on a cable car at a ski resort for an hour yesterday. The power went out, which apparently happens all the time over there, in Bulgaria, because they keep building things even though they don’t have electricity or roads and other such Western luxuries. After the jump: video footage of Prime Minister Stanishev bravely battling German double agents on top of a cable car.

Oh wait, that’s Richard Burton. Whatever.

Mmmm…. I can never get enough pictures of Sarah K. Smith.

In hindsight, maybe using all your bullets shooting through the roof of the cable car wasn’t such a good idea.

I used to live on the East coast of Italy-and I could see Bulgaria from my house..

I didn’t realize that Sara was Bulgarian. Those Bulgarian wimmen are hawt! Makes me think of Veronika at my favorite old watering-hole in Santa Barbara…

First rule of action movies: if there’s a guy on the roof of your car, or crawling around in the air-shaft/crawl-space above your head, no matter how many bullets you empty in that direction, you will never hit him, though one will make a hole between his legs, uncomfortably close to his crotch.

When Eagles Dare is a documentary, just of the time Richard Burton went batshit insane on top of a cable car in the mountains, not of the Bulgarian PM. You don’t get to bag Liz Taylor twice by monkeying around on the top of a golf cart, you gotta go big.

Fed announcing bailout of the Bulgarian cable car company in 4…3…2…

The Prime Minister of Bulgaria actually does have a hot girlfriend, I don’t know if she’s that hot though.

I love it when the alt-text makes me actually laugh out loud.

wow, i didn’t know those early ipods could blow up like that.

That woman has more foreign policy experience than Sarah Palin.

I still don’t understand why blurting out dialog in a rythmic staccato with a Welsh accent while drunk was enough to convince people that you were a great actor. I also don’t understand why people thought that banging Elizabeth Taylor was such a big deal either.

I love that: the one guy grabs the other guy and says, “up there, get him!”

I’d be like, “fuck that. You want him so bad, YOU get him!”
