Emir Shabashvili (picture, right), also known as KK4MJA, Amirko Shaab, 5049/1, 5049/12, Umar Shabashegeli and Pip of Holland (the last name is long forgotten and Emir ignores it if called) was born ~60 years ago in the small town named Yelabuga situated at the time in now obsolete Soviet Tataria which was in turn part of bigger country named Soviet Union or USSR, now also long gone.

Emir lived in the country USSR for the most of his life, diligently learning the language and following all the traditions valued by the inhabitants of the land, like the famous custom of elbowing each other to the door when in public transportation. After the dissolution of USSR Emir had been occupied with his private life, including (but not limited to):

• Struggle with kids;
• Education of little dogs;
• Regular disposal of garbage;
• Singing aloud and playing guitar.

~15 yeas ago Emir and his folks decided to move to the USA and did so. The reason for the move was the uncontrollable love for the famous dressing chimichurri, which had been eaten by them almost every day ever since in enormous quantities.
