re: #247 Killgore Trout

They are a really interesting culture. I was in the region about 8 years ago. They look like turks but the culture is part Mongolian, part Tibetan, a little bit of Islam all combined with a cultural sexual permissiveness which was quite surprising. I had a tour Uighur tour guide and I asked her to sing me a song one day on a long car ride. After she sang the song I asked her what the words meant. It was something like ” I like when you walk by my tent, please beat me gently with a whip”. Young girls are given their own courting quarters in traditional homes to accept suitors late at night. Very interesting people. Also the mosques in far western China don’t adhere to the restrictions on graven images. They are decorated with carvings of people and animals.

That seems a little kinky. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

I notice some of the Muslims on campus have their pet areas. Some have Palestine, one person Kashmir. I have the Uyghurs. Part of this is that I love the Turks. When I meant a Turkish exchange student on campus this year, they were surprised by my reaction. Which was shouting awesome. And squeeing.
