Title: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: flammableBen on Monday, January 26, 2009, 13:34:38 We should ditch Christmas and get on the Chinese New Year bandwagon. I believe in China more than Jesus.
Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, January 26, 2009, 13:37:18 I dont like chinese food though?
Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: flammableBen on Monday, January 26, 2009, 13:39:15 I propose that we celebrate it with our own food.
It's not as if we eat ancient middle eastern cuisine to celebrate Christmas. Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: flammableBen on Monday, January 26, 2009, 13:43:05 To be honest I just want to dress up as a dragon and set off fireworks.

Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: flammableBen on Monday, January 26, 2009, 13:47:13 I think I'm covered for chopsticks

Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, January 26, 2009, 16:09:47 Tiger.
Grooowwl. Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: Luci on Monday, January 26, 2009, 16:50:39 Tiger. Grooowwl. Snap! Tigers are said to be bold and adventurous, and are bestowed with initiative and charm. However, they have a tendency to be risk takers, making them act before they think about the consequences. They tend to make good bosses, explorers or racing drivers. Famous people born in the Year Of The Tiger: David Bailey, Michael Ball, Stanley Baxter, Chuck Berry, Richard Branson, Mel Brooks, Tom Cruise, Jodie Foster, Elliot Gould, Harriet Harman, Timothy Mo, Bruce Oldfield, Lord David Owen, Jonathan Porrit, Oliver Reed, John Schlesinger, Pam Shriver, Pamela Stephenson. Title: Re: Happy Chinese New Year Post by: flammableBen on Monday, January 26, 2009, 16:53:34 Being the first sign of the Chinese zodiac, rats are leaders, pioneers and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, determined, tenacious, intelligent, attractive, seductive, charismatic, practical and hardworking. Rat people are endowed with great leadership skills and are the most highly organized, meticulous, militaristic, and systematic of the twelve signs. Intelligent and cunning at the same time, rats are highly ambitious and strong-willed people who are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas, which often include power, wealth, and status. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily, making them achievers of great accomplishments. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Rats enjoy arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. They are forthright, sometimes even tactless, but the Rat's natural charm and sharp demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone, but rats are usually highly exclusive and selective when choosing friends and so often have only a few very close friends whom they trust. The Rat will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity. However, they also have long memories and will rarely forgive or forget an enemy.

Get you google skills into action. Search for Chinese years and there should be alist of years and what Chinese zodiac represents each year. Obviously the year you were born is the Chinese year you're looking for.
