the Rosicky of Prague

I hope Rabbi Jehuda ben Bezal´el Löw doesn't send the big guy after me now because of that, but this and Franz Kafka are both no-brainers if you want to come up with something related to the Czech Republic.
May I bring to life without rituals and Hebrew incantations todays combination of Tomas Rosicky with the Golem of Prague.

a boney Pekhart

Monks do strange things, they live in solitude and pray to a transcendental being thats supposed to sit somewhere above us and plays with us the perpetual check game.
Sometimes monks build a chapel out of human bones...
...No, they don't. František Rint did. So, if you ever go to Czech Republic I suggest you'd take a trip to Kutná Hora an visit kostnice Sedlec.

Though, for now you'll have to feed your eyes on the combination of Thomas Pekhart with Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms,

a retrograde Gebreselassie

Puppets are for children. Puppets cannot bring adults to lough. And, they are never gonna be as famous that somebody would think of dedicating a theatre to them. It's ridiculous to even think so!

No, it's not. May my puppet mastery put the combination of Theodor Gebreselassie with Spejbl and Hurvínek on stage.

Rossum's Universal Hubnik

What would most science fiction films be without robots. Imagine "Terminator" without the Terminator? Thanks to the brothers Josef Čapek and Karel Čapek you don't have to.
Today my non-artificial being presents to you the combination of Roman Hubnik with R.U.R. (Rossumovi univerzální roboti).

buyer Baros

I admit, this is rather a difficult one and seemingly aimed at film nerds. However, it originates from a libretto by Karel Sabina that was first turned into an opera by Bedřich Smetana and later on into a movie by the great Max Ophüls.
Today I show you the combination of Milan Baros with Prodaná nevěsta (The Sold Bride).
