Hello Good Readers,
We might have also entitled today’s post: Vor bekendte i Greenland.
We’re so pleased to report that our collective efforts to reach the verdant shores of fair Greenland have proven successful. Through the power our our posts, our Facebook wall messages, our Tweets and even our little postcards, we were able to raise the chickenmonkeydog flag to catch the attention of the good people of that noble land.
To celebrate our new friendship with Greenland, we’ve decided the post the national anthem of Greenland on our website.

Our Country Who’s Become So Old
(in English)
Our country, who’s become so old your head all covered with white hair.
Always held us, your children, in your bosom providing the riches of your coasts.
As middle children in the family we blossomed here Greenland,
we want to call ourselves before your proud and honourable head.
With a burning desire to develop what you have to give, renewing,
Removing your obstacles our desire to move is forward, forward.
The way of matured societies is our zealous goal to attain;
the effect of speech and letters we long to behold.
Humbleness is not the course Greenland wake up and be proud!
A dignified life is our goal; courageously take a stand.
(NOTE: The map at the top of this post is a screen shot from Google Analtyics. That Greenland is coloured in green means that chickenmonkeydog.com has had visits from that location.)
Operation Greenland

We like reaching out to new corners of the world, meeting new people and exploring new places. That theme was a big part of what got chickenmonkeydog.com off the ground.
In recent weeks, we’ve noticed that the good people of Greenland don’t seem to know about our fine blog. We’re saddened to think that the 57,600 who call Greenland home should miss out on what we enjoy 5 days per week.
So, this week we have launched Operation Greenland, a strategy to bring the red, yellow and blue of chickenmoneydog to that northern land. We’ve sent a postcard to Greenland’s Tourism Office — that was particularly exciting as we’ve never posted anything to Greenland before. (Have you?) We’re writing this post and we’re working behind the scenes to reach this important audience.
So, if you’re a fan of chickenmonkeydog and you like to help us reach out to the people of Greenland, then we need your email. Email your Greenlander friends. Leave comments on this post addressing your love of all things Greenland.

With all the festivities and family around over the next few weeks we thought we’d share this postcard submission, which we received right around Thanksgiving!
Along with this photo, our reader comments:
This fairly recent trip was taken while my parents were in town for the Thanksgiving holiday. ‘Nough said.
We hope you all enjoy the good times with friends, family and celebrations as we wind down the rest of 2009!
