maphilindopore is a horrible name, tariq_kamal.

So anyway, as I'm being uplifted by the testimonies in this post, I noticed that there's more than a few Southeast Asians. SEA represent!

Which leads to my ponderings, should we have an ASEAN dw community??

Suggest me names!

ETA: Going by this list, we can have quite a lot of countries, haha.

I will accept any puns on the following
- 10 countries, 1 vision
- the ASEAN way
- non-interference

Needless to say, the cheesier the wordplay, the more likely I am to like it. *not helpful at all*

Proof positive that you can take the Maphilindo approach to acronym-making too fucking far.

tempted to suggest "makan"

[From: horusporus]

i'm still proud that I taught you that word! :P BUT THIS IS NOT A FOODIE COMM. or.... is it??

[From: frangipani]

I insist that the comm be inclusive of Timor Leste, but that is all I ask. :D

As for names, well... according to the Lao representative to the High Level Panel on the drafting of the ASEAN human rights body TOR, "we hate gay people" is a common value all ASEAN people share. So if it were up to him, the comm name would be wehategays. Or werespectelders. :P

I think there should be some pun on SEA, e.g.

I swim through your veins like a fish in the SEA ... sia
I'll SEA you when you get there
Somewhere beyond the SEA

Oh hm maybe not that last one, though.

I NOMINATE U TO COME UP WITH A TAGLINE

[From: delfinnium]

God the comment threads are HILARIOUS.

I have no good ones to add, except are there any common plants in SEA? Cocoyam, dumbcane, tropicana (oops, that's a drink), flame-of-the-forest, angsana (And I wanted that name so badly... ) or. something?

Or those damn long- tailed monkeys.
