Dilbert Blog, Mongolia, and President Bush
I'm quite fond of the relatively new Dilbert Blog by Scott Adams.
In particular I liked this post.
Apparently Prez Bush is the first sitting US President to ever visit Mongolia. Scott Adams claims that is because there are no chairs in Mongolia. 'It's a little known fact that the name Ghengis Khan means "I'm serious man, I need a chair,"' claims Adams.
For the record, I'm fond of Mongolia and Mongolians. I've spoken to Mongolians in Mongolia as recently as 40 hours ago (ham radio) although have not yet visited.
Mabbott, and old drinking and fishing buddy, did visit and love Mongolia recently. As he primarily went for a multi-day white water rafting and fishing trip, I doubt he could have seen many chairs if they exist at all.
I'll try to have him comment on this post as to whether chairs exist in Mongolia and their popularity if any. I can tell you that Marlboros are very cheap but mainly counterfeit. Perhaps the chairs are too??

post a comment{tap] [tap] Is this thing on? Oh, OK.
Mostly, I sat on a horse with no name.
There are chairs in Mongolia but I think the Russians imported them. The chairs are accepted, the Russians aren't.
The Winstons I bought were counterfeit as well.
There are yaks with hereford faces.
There is fermented yak's milk.
There are big boiling pots of tea with salt.
Beatle music was all the rage in Ulanbataar.
A great and proud people.
Thank you.
