As you can tell by the header, I’ve gone back to The Marmot’s Hole. Seems a lot of folk liked (or at least preferred) the old name, which, after three-four years of blogging, had acquired some degree of “brand” value. Even my wife asked me to switch it back. So, I guess The Marmot’s Hole it is.
Oh, and for K2 users out there, you might want to check out Steve Lam’s K2 Rolling Asides plugin, which I just installed on this blog (see sidebar).

If it makes you feel better. I never changed my link name. I knew you’d come around. That other name was a mouthful.
Yeah, but it beat “the blogger formerly known as the Marmot.”
I don’t know it kind of gave you a “new-age” androgynous feel. That’s not what you were going for?
If you change your mind again, “Frog in a Well Full of Coolpis” is still available
Finally! I hope you noticed I refused to change it on my blogroll. You have ALWAYS been “The Marmot’s Hole” to me.
Hate to say I told you so!
Koehler, you will get no beatin’ no more! But your baseball team needs a real good spanking on their buttocks. Also I want to beat the living shit out of this ajossi who took his shoe off then lifted his feet off and put it on his other leg(same level as the table) while I and other people around him were eating lunch-!!-muu zavaan novsh-gryaznii ublyudok! How anyone supposed to eat anything when a foot is waving near your food.
wow
Your wife uses double negation like a native.
Marmotess,
Just remember every country has 1% of abominable adjussis. He may have thought that his foot smell may attract the opposite sex. Who knows? Some Korean adjussis are beyond “repair” - they are broken too much to come back to normalcy. Too much drinking and too much pressure in surviving day to day.
Just forgive him and move on. He must have had some unspeakable things happened to him. Or, he could be from a country side and this was the first time he ate in a restaurant.
Baduk,
Why are you defensively explaining things from this ajossi’s perspective?
Maybe unspeakable bad thing happened to me too, maybe I wanted to eat my food badly because I was very very hungry. Who knows? Can you eat food when in the corner of your eyes there’s a thing moving and you know that it’s a stinky feet and it’s very close to your food? It’s just similar like some people find hair in their food and couldn’t eat some just remove the hair and keep on eating, I happened to be the one who’d stop eating.
I don’t think that being beyond repair and broken too much to come back to normalty or too much drinking too much pressure in surviving day to day life has anything to do with his highly offensive behaviour.And yes there are a lot of older Mongolian men who act obnoxious but in no circumstances they would take their shoe off in public places especially in restaurants-even though they’re from third world,and I can guarantee that.
Everyone who has too much pressure ,too much drinking and encountered unspeakable or unfortunate things or people from countryside might as well just take their shoe off or walk shoeless anywhere they go.
And if he was from a countryside and it was first he ever eaten in a restaurant,logically he would be too nervous to do any kind of foot stripping or taking off clothes action unless of course in Korea people from countryside or first time in a restaurant expected to act in such manner. But wouldn’t it be insult to the countryside people? I grew up in a countryside too in Gobi with my grandparents in a ger. And you know what sometimes just simply bitching about things you don’t like makes you feel better or relieved.And that’s exactly what I’m doing. And don’t worry I won’t beat the guy shitless.
The Marmotess rules.
That’s just great.. I finally got around to changing it last night…Thanks for nothing.
She’s awfully pretty too. Makes a guy want to hang around with the Marmot, in hopes Solongo’s almost-as-pretty friends might come around.
One Trackback
[...] According to The Marmot (Yes, he’s back to being The Marmot.), who has been reporting on this case in great detail, Hwang’s supporters have taken to attacking people who are investigating or even discussing the incident. They claim that that the whole sordid mess is part of a conspiracy being let by good old Uncle You-Know-Who. Hwang’s supporters … have denounced [those] involved in the Hwang investigation as traitors, and claim the former cloning star is the victim of a vast conspiracy led by the United States, which they believe is trying to steal Korean cloning technology.
