Please welcome our mate in Mongolia.
I, for one, am not completely convinced that he is actually, in fact, properly speaking, in Mongolia, itself.

G’day, Ariun. Iy you’re ever out near Gobi Altai, you have to check out the Taishir hydropower plant – my contribution to the destabilization of the Mongolian economy.

Does this mean we may also expect some fresh new trolls?

Welcome! This an Australian blog so you may find some words in it with what seem to be an extraneous “u” This is probably nothing to get worried about. You should also familiarize yourself with the basics of Australian history.

As RWDBs, aren’t we all Aryans here?

- Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
No, not quite.
“long have I lurked …”
Oh, yes.Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there’s some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
What? I have to travel to Mongolia now to hand “Ariun” his Welcome to Tim Blair’s Blog brochure and an application to join the VRWC? paco, do you think me a fool! Oh how I recall flying to Scotland to hand that “only rightwing commenter in Scotland” his brochure and application. First, had to fly from Ohio to Glasgow. Then being told I should have gone to Edinburgh. There’s a difference? Then being directed out to bogs, up hills, down vales, across lochs, up the highlands, on and on. And all the time stopping to ask the locals if they had heard of this guy. And being assaulted with some of the most incomprehensible Scottish accented English known to man. In short order – okay not short, two weeks – I figured out I was sent on a snipe hunt.
Before I travel half way across the world, I want proof this dude is Mongolian. Like a photo of his steppe horse, lance, and Golden Horde helmet.
(wronwright mutters to himself: Didn’t I say it was only a matter of time before steppe horsemen would try to join? Didn’t I? And mark my words, the Huns will be next. And the Scythians. We have no stables!)

#20 Welcome to the VRWC Bobzorunkle… providing you fill out all the forms that Wronwright or Andycanuck provide.
Wronwright will be pleased he only has to go to Canada to deliver yours!
Oh… where the forms say “Fill in forms in triplicate”… don’t worry about it. It’s Wronwright that the Dark Lord will punish, not you.
Welcome, Ariun and bobzorunkle (heh heh, I get it).
No rush about the VRWC paperwork. Wronwright can just zip ahead in the Tardis to pick it up some time in the future. But newbies are responsible for washing and waxing the black helicopters, and Lord Rove likes them spiffy, so here’s your bucket and sponge.
- #24 …and one hump, or two ?

Welcome to the horde, folks! Did you bring beer?

Well, I don’t. Welcome and please explain yourself.

It’s a British expression. Right out of Wodehouse. Do what I did. Keep saying it over and over.

Well, since I discovered Mongolian Grill restaurants I’m all in favor of Mongolians in general, but I also live next to (well, just north of) Canada. (Ha! In Detroit you gotta go south to Canada.) What we get around here from Canada is hockey players (not too bad) and Molson’s (swill). The commentary here emanating from Canada isn’t all bad, however.
missred, I’m from pork country, originally, and we eat balls (I presume you mean what we call mountain oysters). They’re great, and you can use the non-edible parts for fishbait.
Finally, does anyone here know how Canada got its name?
The Brits told the settlers they could use any three letters of the alphabet they wanted for their name. The settlers said, “Ummm. Well, C, eh, N, eh, D, eh.”
(Looks nervously just a bit to the south in case wimpycanadian and others are armed and in a foul mood.)

Welcome to the new Probationary Minions. I thought I’d seen a few new names around.
Enjoy the Conspiracy and be aware… the Dark Master is always watching.
And I have a titanium cluebat. So there.

- Thank you for the warm welcome! I feel quite overwhelmed by the honor of being on Tim Blair’s blog.
So many questions… since nothing witty comes to mind I will just answer straightforwardly.#1 any tips on making Mongolian Lamb?
-First, get a ewe and a ram.#4 he’s being rhetorical.
-No, and no. 🙂#5 you have to check out the Taishir hydropower plant
-Za tegee.#7 how’s the weather in Mongolia these days? Globally warmed? Ice aged?
-Global warming, my foot. It just snowed last week. Ice aging, perhaps.#16 If you don’t mind saying, where in Mongolia do you live? And are you Mongolian? Did you ever go by the name “Stoop Davy Dave?”
-Ulaanbaatar, no and no.#19 I want proof this dude is Mongolian. Like a photo of his steppe horse, lance, and Golden Horde helmet.
-I am sorry to give you trouble, wonwright. I am not a dude, and would a Naadam or mounted archery picture do instead?#24 Inner…or Outer?
-Outer.#28 Did you bring beer?
-Neigh. I brought airag, though!#31 Do you have Mongolian Lamb sizzles over there? Do you live in a tent?
-Yes, at the American barbeque. The rest of the populace (1)prefers mutton, as it is more flavorsome than lamb; and (2)is not currently in the habit of eating baby animals. I don’t live in a tent, unless on a jaunt out o’er the steppes.
Welcome Ariun, any tips on making Mongolian Lamb?
