UNREST - those countries that are not members of the United Nations

(But shouldn't that go into the "UN-game" thread rather than the DIS-game thread? Or should we just merge them, and deactivate one?)

Not-so-random thought: If we're going to keep one and assimilate the other, I vote for keeping this one. After all, as Woodie G. said, "DIS-game is bound for glory, DIS-game..."

Woody Guthrie gained fame near and far
For This Land Is You Land. It's bizarre
But his nickname has shown

As a folk-singing well-hung porn star.

Kudos. Hab! To delete the funding IS inappropriate!

It also means to collect ins - and, if generous, distribute outs.

It's a stretch, but could you also parse it to mean "the iPhone applet that teaches you to use a lasso is laughable"?

The Dis- game and the Redefinitions threads have been overlapping intermittently for a while now, as people disremember that there are both, and which one is which. I just decided to ignore the distinction, not undeliberately...
