#1 KCNA: home of the run-on sentence! featuring Songun, Juche, and Army-Based drivel - these guys must get paid by the word

#2 Frank G: "...if Kimmie ever comes out of that hole in the ground and sees his shadow, there'll be six more weeks of Korean winter."

If Kimmie doesn't get his testosterone under control, there may be six weeks of nuclear winter!

#3 After this war is finished the Iraqi Information Minister is going to be head-hunted (in the employment sense rather than the tribal sense) by the KCNA. Its really hard to find someone with such high journalistic credentials.

"My feeling, as usuall, is that the imperialist american forces will be slaughtered and the Korean peninsula will be a graveyard for the invading forces"

#4 "Seminars on Songun policy (Songun means regarding the military affair as the greatest state affair, and strengthening the main agent of the revolution and promoting national defense and socialist construction as a whole with the people's army as the mainstay)..."

Boy, them guys sure can pack a lot of meaning into one word, huh?

#5 "Songun": Probably shorthand for "Son of a Gun"?

*holds up card* 8.2. Points taken off for failing to correlate Songun policy with Juche. Also, "Songun", as a word, lacks the hop, punch, and drive that "Juche" carries. Some points added for promising start.

Let's see what the "Army Policy" guy comes back with. This should be interesting.
