Happy birthday, John!
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
A Khatru is when this guy sneezes:

Related to the yeti, but even rarer. Jon's the only person ever to have seen one.
Anderson's answer usually was : "Khatru is Siberian for 'as you wish'", which I thought was brilliant.
I think you're missing the point if you're expecting the word to mean something specific.

And we're all on first name with that fucker in here. Not Jon, but the Khatru of course. Jon could never be a fucker, obviously. "Cha-cha'h'cha'h cha-cha'h, cha-cha'h-cha'h cha-cha'h" - Quoted liberally from the Book of Jon.
Oh, Jon. Oh please, Jon. Listen to us, Jon. Please see us now, Jon.

It's a long Russian Sabbatical, taken by the earliest Russian othordox priests the "Byzantine Priests" to find enlightenment, in the harsh tundra. The practice was suspended in later years as almost none returned.
Thought everyone knew this.

Of course, not being of the daily persuasion in this opinion laden public prog bathhouse, my diatribe of recent lucubration is perhaps as welcome as a rats teat. One often is forced to weigh the desire to flash judgment within against the effort required as well as the value this knowledge will be to the greater good of all mankind or whatever inhabits the current spa. At best, its a slippery slope.
And all this time I thought it was something Jon found on the back of a Dushanbe cover. Oh well.

Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
What I always wondered: Is the Siberian variety the rarest or the most common type?
"Siberian Khatru" is actually the pet name of Jon's instrument of choice when in need to express his infinite virtuosity, namely the Iberian kazoo.
I can't get enough of Jon. Oh please, give us more of Jon. Everywhere I go I see only Jon, and there's only one Jon and that's not Jon Bon-. It's Jon. Only Jon.

I like everything about Jon, even the way he spells his name. " JON " so cool. not John or Johnny or Johnson just Jon... it gets to the point without all the clutter.

No it's not - it's the sharpened wooden tool that early Siberian cattle herders used to castrate their geldings.
Ohhh... OK, I'll change that in me little book of Yesums.. ! Pg 63, I'll draw a nice little picture of what I think that looks like.. Thanks
