well, we have fun playin' with the pencils on the bench!

Wow this is a wonderful find, I love to see all the trouble that small mind make for themselves.
I had read the poems and found them self serving and while I love to offer up bullshit, In the true nature of Zen, I see a bowl full of bull shit and I can offer no more.
As a lon time member of tis crew of misfits, I can only observe that the problem arises with a blundervirgin who reall needsn to get f&@#$d.

oh my, the blunder pimp is back.....
can I play here Arnie? PLEASE

(That one was for you Todd, you are no forgotten Bro.)

HALT! WHO GOES THERE?

Me...

I thought so! It was the mountain that tipped me off

And me too.

haha! hi goofus, it is good to see you!

hello tallyjanice

answer me these questions three:

what is the state of affairs in a mongolian tea house and bar?

who pours?

and on which side does the spoon reside?

hello agnes

I do not know the answers three.

If these are lyrics I'm not familiar with the song. However, I doubt there would be a spoon.

The bowl is held in both hands a spoon is not used.

The Mongolian Etiquette

Dropping in

It is not acceptable to knock at the door of a ger and to ask if you may enter; one is expected to holler "Hold the dog!" ("Nokhoi Khori!") and then to approach. Even if there is no dog, to let the hosts know they have a guest is appropriate. The host and hostess will then emerge wearing their hats (which are not removed in greeting as elsewhere), ready to help the guest dismount.

Tea time

Before tea is served, snuff bottles are exchanged between the men. It is proper to accept the snuff bottle the host offers, even if you don't have one to give in return, and also, to take some snuff before handing the bottle back. The hostess will then begin to serve tea.

To the Mongolians, it is impolite to ask the guest outright where he comes from and where he's going, so the guest is expected to volunteer this information after the traditional greetings about the weather.

Tea is served in a small bowl and is offered either with both hands stretched towards the guest or with the right hand supporting the left elbow. The guest is expected to accept the tea in the same manner, but with sleeves down since it's considered extremely impolite to expose one's wrists while receiving things. In the summer, fermented mare's milk (koumiss) is served instead of tea.

Agnes

Pardon my uninvited intrusion.

I would have guessed hollow chopsticks

i was being playful, i didn't know if anyone would actually answer.
it is great though, i learned some things i never knew, thank you!

oh, i mean.....

YOU MAY PASS

**said followed by a crack of lightning and a clap of thunder**

Well lets go to Mongolia for tea. How very proper we will be.
I May Pass says thee, I wonder then where will I be?

(hollow chopsticks , hehe)
