Hm, I’m a mysterious orphan of vaguely Mongolian background who washed up on the shore and was adopted by a village of Vikings. On the plus side I’ve grown into a mighty warrior, on the downside all of my friends are smarter than me including an annoying talking rat.

So overall I’d say that life is good 😃

You could mosey on over to [my](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15448690&postcount=389) place between shifts and we’d knock back a few brewskis. 😃
