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

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 | March 28, 2008 at 10:48 AM
hehe..sorry, Steve. ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | March 28, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Geeze, and I thought guys caught "in the act" with sheep were weirdos...
Posted by: ellie | March 28, 2008 at 10:50 AM
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 | March 28, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Meanie, are you looking for 'Sheepshead Bay'?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 28, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Yes, Annie. (Ellipse was a link).
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 28, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Meanie, that was sneaky! My eyes did not pick that up either.
I wear glasses, you know.

Behave yourself, Meanie, or we'll make you live in NJ.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 28, 2008 at 11:39 AM
I dare you.

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 | March 28, 2008 at 12:02 PM
fivver's right - 'stan' means 'fortress.' The proper term for 'land' is 'ollie.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 28, 2008 at 12:07 PM
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 | March 28, 2008 at 12:56 PM
Annie, I always thought the proper term for "land" was "kukla".
Posted by: Layzeeboy | March 28, 2008 at 12:57 PM
*wonders what the proper term for 'land ho!' is*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 28, 2008 at 01:09 PM
Now I know where the term 'pulling the wool over your eyes' comes from.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 28, 2008 at 01:16 PM
*snork* @ Annie Where-but-Hardy, Schade and Layzee!

Layzeeboy, is this what you're thinking about? (the one on the left)
Posted by: Steve Haller | March 28, 2008 at 01:52 PM
"Headless Sheep Wranglers"
Also a great name for a band...
Posted by: Daniel | March 28, 2008 at 02:03 PM
They used to use a headless human back in the day.
