Turkmenbashi

(translated from “Radio Svoboda”)

Straight from the horse’s mouth.

The man is clearly a loon.

All I hear are the quirky stories about him; is he crazy in any harmful kind of way?

Not that I’ve seen. He banned gold teeth a little while ago. :smiley:

And why?

Because:

What does that even MEAN?

And there’s a national holiday for melons (July 10th.)

And male newscasters can no longer wear (pancake) makeup - because it was getting hard for dear old Turkmenbashi to tell the men from the women.

I see Turkmenbashi, and I know I’m in for a chuckle.

Loony.

How could I have forgotten about the ice palace in the desert?
