I blame del.icio.us for getting me on the idea in the first place... Not my name, nor a foreign domain, but it IS a pain trying to make people spell mo.notono.us.

No such luck. There is no .dd TLD (for to.dd). And while there is one for .er (Eritrea, for stadl.er), it's <a href="http://www.afridns.org/er/tld_er.txt" rel="nofollow">"limited to businesses or persons actually in Eritrea"</a>. (also, "Eritrea does not yet have a direct internet connection.") Pooh. Inspired by your post, I went to see which strange foreign domain names I could register that would make for nice, short URLs.
