RTK is a bit behind with last week's COW, but better late than never.
Give it up for the Gunpowder Monk, who has been commenting regularly all the way from war-torn Beirut not to mention posting on his own blog, Beirut Impromptu. In these troubled times every blog needs their own Beirut correspondent even if readers don't always agree with his or her take on what's going on. Tearfree, for example, is not into anything that smacks of conspiracy theories and, well, the Gunpowder Monk has, on accasion, showed signs of possible succumbing.
Still, Tearfree's interested in hearing Gunpowder's perspective on Hezbollah and she thinks it totally rocks that as an acoustics nerd, he also has something to contribute on babies and vacuum cleaners.
So congratulations from all your RTK readers, Gunpowder Monk and thanks for filling out our standard COW winner's questionnaire.
How did you discover RTK?
It all began when RTK posted a comment at my blog, the details of which I don't want to go into due to fear of sparking yet another debate. All I can say is that it only took a couple hundred more exchanges of insults for us to become buddies ;)

Who’s your favourite commenter?
Risking appearing as a suck-up, I say RTK is actually my favority commenter because the articles are light and informative, not to mention that they show a deeper insight into the more mundane matters of life; the mundane matters that actually matter. I hope that made sense.
Given that there are apparently 50,000 Canadians in Lebanon, do you have anything to say about softwood lumber?

I never heard any Canadians in Lebanon sit down and have any sort of conversation even remotely resembling a debate about softwood lumber. I guess being this many miles away from Canada renders this topic insignificant. And, quoting RTK, "you're in beirut and you're worried about" softwood lumber?
What’s your favourite RTK blogging subject?
What’s your favourite RTK blogging subject?
It's hard to put a finger on my actual favorite topic. I can say that , whenever the topic isn't dealing with something strictly Canadian, which i am not culturally programmed to connect to, I relate to it and enjoy it.
What do you want as a prize that Tearfree can actually give you?

Prize? Isn't being named COW a prize?
P.S. Tearfree forgot to ask whether you have Dr. Oetker in Lebanon.

In former COW news, please check out the picks of Emily's new baby over at her blog. She definitely gets honourable mention for blogging and commenting this week. Her city may not be wartorn but she has a newborn and a toddler, and that counts for something.

Congratulations, Gunpowder Monk. Stay safe. We understand if softwood lumber is not your top priority.
Bravo, Gunpowder Monk. And Emily -- not only do you have fine taste in music, you have two beautiful boys.
Congrats GM. I find your comments very interesting and entertaining. Great pics of the boys Emily.
Unlike tearfree, I am almost moved to tears...Might it have something to do with childhood repression? ;)
Thank you.
PS. I know one store that imports Dr. Oetker, although Lebanon is not officially listed on the Dr. Oetker website as one of the countries where you can get the product. I hope this information gives you some sort of satisfaction.
See you around
