Number 40!! 2024 celebrates 40 freakin' years of Mike and Bone terrorizing the globe! No better way to celebrate 40 than checking out someone that really caused some pillage and plunder, Temüjin! Better known by us Westerners as Chingis Khan (Genghis Khan to you Westerners!)
This blue background is an interesting color. One of its variants is the color of the Mighty Meeeechigan Wolverines, however this shade is the color of the Tibetan Buddhists that inhabit Mongolia, it is also one of Mongolia's flag colors, mainly because,,,, it was a color of the KHAN!!
Chingis Khan!!! Who left most that he battled, bruised and blue, just like Mike and Bone after a week in the backseat of a Jeep!!
Chinggis Khan, the founder and first khan of the Mongol Empire, spent most of his life uniting the Mongol tribes, then launched a series of military campaigns that conquered most of China, Central Asia, and all the way to the gates of Vienna in Europe, creating the largest empire in the world! In August 2024, Mike and Bone steppe(d) back in time and into Mongolia to check out how this little northern country created such a ruckus across Asia and Europe!
