... that's right, rubberneckers... not only is it "Barbarian Weekend" on The History Channel, but y'all are getting it here too... hey, what can I say, I'm bored... anyway, I was just reading that one in four humans on the face of the planet have a direct bloodline back to Genghis Khan... yeah, let that one sink in for a minute...
... done?.. good... now say it with me... "DAMN!.. now that is a legacy"...
... sure, sure... say what you will, but something tells me he was "conquering" more than huge tracts of land and the occasional uppity Sultan... then again, maybe he didn't conquer those darlings after all... Hell, for all we know, the damsels lined right up when they saw his armored camel come galloping over the horizon.... catch my drift?...
... see, even back then, the ladies got all weak-kneed over the badboys.. power, safety, money, a little bit of ruthlessness thrown in for good measure, and those furry dark-age knickers were getting dropped by the bushel load... and now look at us... clean-shaven.. reading glasses... high cholesterol... what a damn depressing lot we have become...
... it's always at these pleasant times of the afternoons when all the great mud puddles of life get slowly clearer through liberal use of Lagavulin.. sorry that you guys are having to bear witness... but still, Genghis Khan?... 1 in 4 people?... damn... and I hear tell that no one knows where he was laid to rest on the Steppes... easy way to find him?... walk across Mongolia reading a copy GQ Magazine aloud, and then listen for the vibrations of him spinning in his grave... yeah, talk about a civilization in decline...
... that said, I totally retract what I spouted in my previous post... I'm not a barbarian.. Hell, I'm not even a badboy... shit, I even have table manners... and apart from the occasional antics after too much Barley, I'm really a fluffy-bunny type guy... totally harmless... well, a fluffy-bunny type guy with lots of guns...
... but still... 1 in 4 people... that's just amazing... and even though I know it isn't true... I'd like to imagine old Genghis would at least enjoy sipping a fine Scotch with me on the deck before ransacking the house and barbecuing the cats...
1 in 4?!?!??!?! Duuuuuude!!!!!!!

AWTM- LOL! Does this sound familiar?
B5: Eric, you better slow down or AWTM is going to call you an asshole again.
LMAO! Ahh... good stuff. That just popped into my head.
1 in 4. Good Grief. I'm thinkin' I may be of the 3..., reading glasses and clean shaven and all.
Bullshitted by Bou on November 6, 2005 09:30 PMWell, you are an AMBASSADOR after all... and a "fluffy bunny type" with lots of guns.... I imagine that Genghis would be plenty impressed -- especially once you brought out the scotch....
(And remember FBTs get more women -- Genghis would sure to be impressed with that!)
Bullshitted by Richmond on November 6, 2005 09:38 PMamazing.. simply amazing.
oh, and loved the "fluffy-bunny type guy with lots of guns..."

Bullshitted by Jim - PRS on November 7, 2005 05:53 AMROFL! Now I have to go back and read the opening scene in Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy...
Do you want to decorate your house with a battle axe over the door? When you get angry do you have visions of hairy horsemen riding in circles while burning villages? Then you too might be a decendant of Genghis Khan. *grin*
Bullshitted by Teresa on November 7, 2005 12:29 PMJust imagine if ole Genghis had used a microwave and the recipes he could have passed down for cats.
But I will agree that one in four are direct decendents. Most of them are rioting in France and other parts of Europe right now.
