I'd Like to Buy a Couple Vowels Please, Pat



Wow, first Lebanon, now this. Nothing like the desire for freedom to bring unity to people. Syria's President Bashar al-Assad has committed to a first phase pull-out of troops and secret agents by 1 April, according to the UN's special envoy. Read more... Well it looks like the people have yet again spoken. This time in Kyrgyzstan, whose government now was apparently the third in a former Soviet republic after Georgia and Ukraine to be brought down by people power over the past year and a half. Read more... Perhaps freedom is on the move it seems. And maybe sometime later on, the new government can even add some vowels to their country name so it's more pronounceable. Well I'm certainly glad that I'm writing it and not having to butcher it aloud verbally. It'd be like if our nation was Th ntd Stts f mric. Didn't realize how much me relied on vowels in our lives did we now. We're forever grateful Vanna, thanks! 'm prd t b n 'mricn. OK, maybe I'm being a little insensitive. Some possibilities:

Kayaragayazstan
Keyeregeyezstan
Kiyirigiyizstan
Koyorogoyozstan
Kuyuruguyuzstan

You could go ad infinitum. In the examples above, I added 5 vowels, to separate our little cliqueish consonants there, you know break it up. This is like the junior high dance, right - all the boys on one side and the girls on the other side. Let's mingle kids, c'mon. It's OK. So, if we add let's say 5 combinations of vowels into our new word, the formula would be.. OK I'll spare you my vast statistical knowledge. The number of permunations or combinations: google. Have fun kids. Vowels away! Send me your ideas for name. The winner will get a cookie. Maybe. We'll find out in the Showcase Showdown...
