About GenghisTheHun - Male, 65 and Married (Capital, Hunnic Kingdom)

(Pic is my trusty Black Lab, Fido, thinking of new weblists.)----------------------I am a Depression Generation child of a family of Huns with five siblings. I am unreconstructed, uninhibited, unreformable, sadly unrepentant, unreclaimed, undramatic, unfeigned,unfailing,unfettered, ungovernable,unimpaired, unimpassioned, unfazed, unfashionable, unidealistic, unenthusiastic, unecclestiastic, unmystified, unsaintly, unyielding, unimpressed, unyouthful, skeptical and acerbic. I believe in science and the real world. I am generally right of center but my beliefs are eclectic to some extent. (My name was genghis the hun under the former RIA format.)

Often come to Genghis' page to hear great music! Might have to steal one or two ~ haha! So, my simpleton lab lover ~ OK, part of that group also (mine, after living for 16 years ~ never ate one single child! What did I do wrong? HAHA), have a fabulous Lab Loving Day!!!

HomerSimpsonFamily300 (9) on 4/7/2008 7:00:50 PM, said:

Genghis has the weblists, and he might be the reason why things are so late like this. And the Lab is watching over the house for the dingoes.

I see you are pretty clueless when it comes to dogs, but hey not everyone not everyone is diverse and have a good understanding of all breeds. Some people are real simpletons and enjoy labs, like you.

Wow, been awhile since I actually came to your profile....what did you do to the grizz crowd???? Im surprised I haven't heard the same from some of the dog food people! Good work

There's some great stuff in that playlist.

TeresaG (29) on 3/5/2008 6:47:56 PM, said:

YEAH! You did it! And what a GREAT playlist. I love the Irish Rovers ~ how did you find them? Absolutely Awesome!! Why isn't the Wreak of the Edmond Fitzgerald on there?

TeresaG (29) on 3/3/2008 4:52:10 AM, said:

I know that I did this once, but it got erased on the computer glitch day, so I will re-write. Geneghis seems to have a plethera of knowledge, yet he doesn't act like a "know-it-all". He is very respectful and helpful and I thoroughly enjoy reading his reviews. Genghis has the tendency to make me expand my thoughts on certain issues.

See now, when you get hate mail for testamonials you have truly made it. Fantastic work...

Frank, you're not the only one. :)

No one can match the uniqueness of Genghis and the wide scope of issues he tackles with wacky wisdom... One of my very favourite reviewers on the website.

FranksWildYears (43) on 2/26/2008 11:44:22 AM, said:

Thanks to his volumonous and stimulating writting, I have found myself on more than one occassion to utter his name by accident when I intended to refer to the other Genghis from history.

You're a douche

magellan (140) on 2/14/2008 10:14:44 PM, said:

I know folks half the age of GTH who are terrified of technology. GTH has no fear - wikipedia, facebook, RIA - he's braved all of them. Impressive.

HistoryFan (95) on 1/1/2008 8:48:08 PM, said:

With a name like Genghis The Hun, you can't go wrong.

HomerSimpsonFamily300 (9) on 12/29/2007 4:40:37 PM, said:

Hard to believe that, I'm just new here, and I just found this man' weblists and reviews intertaining. Besides, he is funny, and charismatic.

ARE YOU A HUN REALY?

Why don't you shut up about your homophobic attitudes. Guess what? No one cares.

Anyone who invites people to rate his wife on his profile page is a braver man than I.

I like this guy.

What a great weblist Genghis...Things You Would Never Know Without The Movies...Simply hilarious!!!

Blue Orchid (42) on 6/9/2007 10:10:28 AM, said:

I love you for that metal bikini comment and I'm glad you agree with me. xD

louiethe20th (71) on 3/25/2007 2:05:04 PM, said:

Either I Am This Or Not is one of the better weblists I have seen in a while!

Molfan (54) on 3/4/2007 5:20:43 PM, said:

very intelligent. makes up some of the best weblists. Good sense of humor. I always like to read his posts.

SpartanPride (19) on 2/24/2007 10:13:50 PM, said:

Sorry, I pressed enter by accident, anyway, he is out-spoken, clear and has amazing charisma.
P.S. If you read this, remember sharps (I was on your trusted list)? That's my old account. Unfortently, I didn't have the best grammar, and even now disagree with many of the things I have said.

SpartanPride (19) on 2/24/2007 10:04:44 PM, said:

I may not believe all that he says, but he IS the most intelligent, informed person on this website.

Atilla was awesome. Hail the new king of the Huns! Keep up the good work Genghis.

AutzenMaven (8) on 2/19/2007 10:25:45 AM, said:

Wise and articulate...even on the rare occasions that I disagree with him.

magellan (140) on 2/6/2007 4:06:04 PM, said:

oddly, i picture the real gth household to be quite similar to that what is depicted in the video.

numbah16tdhaha (144) on 1/31/2007 9:18:07 PM, said:

That singing dingo needs to be put down.

AutzenMaven (8) on 1/13/2007 8:35:53 AM, said:

As long as his disdain for dingoes doesn't extend to Wombats, Tazzy Devils, Koalas, Platypi, or any other marsupials, he will remain alright with me.

nuevonacida (3) on 1/7/2007 11:26:19 PM, said:

Happy New Year! I found your description very amusing. I like no nonsense reviews. I have no tolerance for cowards. You are outspoken, honest and expressive. I respect that. I have always loved to spend time with intellects. Brainstorm, discuss, learn. I hope to marry this year when I return to Chicago. Intellectual stimulus/sense of humor such as yours, would be a tremendous quality for my future husband to have!

callitdowntheline75 (51) on 10/11/2006 1:00:00 PM, said:

GenghisTheHun is, without a doubt, one of the greatest ever reviewers on RIA. His posts speak for themselves. Bright and immensely articulate (with common sense to boot), and with a stunning array of knowledge that rivals very few, Genghis is an intellectual powerhouse. For me, I'd love to have him as my mentor on RIA! =) Definitely an asset on this website.

Vudija (91) on 8/18/2006 12:23:18 AM, said:

We haven't always agreed on things, but GTH is definitely a reviewer worth watching out for. He's insightful on many diff. topics of interest, making many different trusts along the way. He's made some VERY interesting and entertaining weblists as well, especially some of his newer stuff.

HistoryFan (95) on 8/9/2006 5:04:16 PM, said:

Genghis is the man. With a name like Genghis the Hun, you'll know he has a great sense of humor and a good wit :)

Blue Orchid (42) on 7/9/2006 9:07:36 PM, said:

He always has something to say about anything - even dingos!

Djahuti (53) on 7/1/2006 2:34:57 PM, said:

Although we often disagree,I always enjoy his comments.He is articulate and entertaining,and usually pretty tactful about stating his case.A good read!

Wiseguy (28) on 6/30/2006 7:27:11 PM, said:

To say Genghis is a RIA contributor is the understatement of the year.
If you enjoy reading, you've come to the right place.

oscargamblesfro (75) on 6/27/2006 7:22:11 PM, said:

Very sharp guy, and not without a sense of humor at times, and also able to discuss a plethora of topics with insight,and clarity.Especially entertaining and illuminating when it comes to history of all sorts. Scholarly, but a refreshingly unpretentious fellow.

CastleBee (80) on 6/21/2006 12:02:50 PM, said:

Genghis is great - a truly outstanding RIA writer and contributor. I enjoy his reviews and get a kick out of his witty, unique lists.

Genghis has created some of the best weblists on RIA. He has a lot of knowledge and and awsome sense of humor.

numbah16tdhaha (144) on 6/7/2006 11:28:56 PM, said:

An expert on the Dingo and my mentor as I joined the Illuminati. I also get alot of weblist fodder from him.

Tormented by dingoes. Yet still prolific.
