    I heard of someone being in “Ichud Country”. (that’s somewhere north/south/east/west of Monticello, NY)

    Just wondering which country the “city” is in!

    NU! NU! 🙂

    I was thinking Skripka’s name might be a clue about

    his hometown, but it’s just Russian for “violin.”

    I assumed the reference to yourself in the third person in

    “who could guess where skripka is from!” was meant to imply that the name was indicative in some way. Otherwise, why not use “I?”

    I once picked up a fellow hitching a ride from Monroe to “the country”. He repeatedly asked me what country I’m from and I repeatedly replied the US. He was getting VERY frustrated with my reply and I was getting irritated by his seemingly repetitive question, so I finally asked him what country he was from, to which he replied, Skolya in South Fallsburg!

    That, actually, was the gist of my starting this thread. (to dissect a joke…)

    There is a sefer written that covers many halachic and hashkafic scenarios that arise during the summer months and the word “countries” is used throughout. For example, (it is written in yiddish – this is my translation) when discussing eruvin it says: all “countries” should be sure their eruv is constructed and properly supervised by those expert in hilchos eruvin.

    I think skripka and Happy Go Lucky come from the same pod.

    Nope. As far as I know.. I is I, not him, her or it.

    I live in the country of the United Lands, commonly known in Israel as “The States”. – that already was giving out too much personal, private information. (for all I know you could be a stalker, zeroing in on my location… now you know which “country” I live in)

    You’ve already said elsewhere that you live in NYC.

    Sorry for the stalking, but hey, you are super cool.
