While the carcass gets carried back and forth across the fields of Krysig Kzygris central Asia, the rest gets sent to ................

Nice talk, Siouxie, and here after I tried to buoy your spirits back there in the "You're Not Safe Anywhere" thread ...

I hadn't noticed the head was missing - ack!
Thanks for nothing, Blue. ;)

Exactly how many "'stans" are there? Are the "24" writers being credit for naming random terrorist sounding countries now?
Posted by: Doc Rick | 10:48 AM on March 28, 2008
hehe..sorry, Steve. ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | 10:49 AM on March 28, 2008
Geeze, and I thought guys caught "in the act" with sheep were weirdos...
Posted by: ellie | 10:50 AM on March 28, 2008
Anytime, El. You know I'm good for nothing.

-stan is the second most common four-letter ending among UN Member nations, trailing only -land and beating out -blic (as in republic) and -ania. The -stan morpheme means "land."

Now THAT's a polo match! See why I like that game so much? (I heard polo got a similar start using the head of the losing general after a battle - really)

I'm surprised no one had mentioned that Headless Sheep Wranglers WBAGNFA Sam Raimi film
Posted by: ellie | 11:22 AM on March 28, 2008
Meanie, are you looking for 'Sheepshead Bay'?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:23 AM on March 28, 2008
Yes, Annie. (Ellipse was a link).
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 11:27 AM on March 28, 2008
Meanie, that was sneaky! My eyes did not pick that up either.
I wear glasses, you know.
Posted by: Cat R | 11:29 AM on March 28, 2008
I am a geek do, too, Cat. I'll try and be more geek-friendly considerate in the future.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 11:35 AM on March 28, 2008
Behave yourself, Meanie, or we'll make you live in NJ.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 11:39 AM on March 28, 2008
I dare you.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 11:53 AM on March 28, 2008
involves a rider chasing after a girl on horseback in order to steal a kiss. If he is unsuccessful, she can beat him with her kamchi – a horsewhip.
Gawd how I miss college.
The -stan morpheme means "land."

I used to work with an exchange student from one of the stans. I asked her about this and she said no, that it could more accurately be translated to fortress, redoubt or refuge. Anyway it had a more militaristic meaning than the pc press would admit to.
Posted by: fivver | 12:02 PM on March 28, 2008
fivver's right - 'stan' means 'fortress.' The proper term for 'land' is 'ollie.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 12:07 PM on March 28, 2008
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there anything more romantic than a game of chasing the girl to steal a kiss followed by a rousing game of throwing a sheep carcass around?
I'm thinking the answer might be yes. But that's a big "might".
Posted by: Schadeboy | 12:56 PM on March 28, 2008
Annie, I always thought the proper term for "land" was "kukla".
Posted by: Layzeeboy | 12:57 PM on March 28, 2008
*wonders what the proper term for 'land ho!' is*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:09 PM on March 28, 2008
Now I know where the term 'pulling the wool over your eyes' comes from.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:16 PM on March 28, 2008
*snork* @ Annie Where-but-Hardy, Schade and Layzee!
Posted by: Diva | 01:27 PM on March 28, 2008

Layzeeboy, is this what you're thinking about? (the one on the left)

"Headless Sheep Wranglers"
Also a great name for a band...
Posted by: Daniel | 02:03 PM on March 28, 2008
They used to use a headless human back in the day.
