#28  "4) what the hell is a "cousin pastoral land", anyway?"

My take would be "country cousin", or "hick relative fresh off the farm" or something like that. Creative though.

#25  holds up card *2*

Sorry, Slovo, but points have to be deducted for:
1) being unable to unlock the caps key
2) using the spelling "Irak"
3) being unclear as to what you mean by "Indians"...the Native Americans, or inhabitants of the subcontinent
4) what the hell is a "cousin pastoral land", anyway?
5) repeated use of the word "Jew" in a slur
6) inability to spell the word "wheelchair"

Now, realizing that Slovo may be from a particularily illiterate part of Greater Serbia, I am impressed that he managed to spell "masturbate" correctly. I'm sure it's a word very important to him.

#24  My bet would be that he's an ex party member from an ex soviet sattelite. BTW do you know that Sylwester means New Year's Eve in Polish?

#19  Someday I'd like to impersonate a troll; however, I don't think I could do the spelling and grammar with such style.

#11  i dont think hes got a real chance of becoming PM - Finance minister Mehdi, Dawa leader Jafari, and Sistanis pal Sharistani are all angling for that spot. Might get into the cabinet though.

#10  Chalabi has a reputation for financial trickery and, its true that in Iraq a lot of people give him the nicknam 'the thief'

however,
1. Chalabi's financial reputation is based largely on his conviction of fraud by a Jordanian court. We don't know if the conviction is for a real crime or for just doing business as normal in Jordanian prior to Saddam paying the Jordanians to convict him (this latter is Chalabi's story)
2. In Iraq, being called a thief is not all bad -- some people use it as a term of endearment see this site for the story of the maid and the thief

#5  not only is Ahmed Chalabi on the United Iraq list, he is also in line to be in the cabinet or maybe even the PM in the new govt.

#4  Note for all those who predicted that the outcome was a foregone conclusion in favor of the US "puppet" Allawi.

Heh. Double heh. He came in third because it was a fair election. The people have spoken and their choices will be honored.
