  1. Second! We just lit the firecwackers and everything’s great! Great food, great games, great money.
    Oh, I’m at a New Year’s party here.

    Psst! I’m a doggie! Yay!

  2. I went out for dim sum. Sooo good…

    Though I digress. I’m a rooster, not a dog. I don’t think I know any Chinese Zodiac dogs…

  3. Here’s a list to use. Wikipedia has a better one though (of course).

    Rat ( 1912 – 1924 – 1936 – 1948 – 1960 – 1972 – 1984 )
    Ox ( 1913 – 1925 – 1937 – 1949 – 1961 – 1973 – 1985 )
    Tiger ( 1914 – 1926 – 1938 – 1950 – 1962 – 1974 – 1986
    Rabbit or Hare ( 1915 – 1927 – 1939 – 1951 – 1963 – 1975 – 1987 )
    Dragon ( 1916 – 1928 – 1940 – 1952 – 1964 – 1976 – 1988 )
    Snake ( 1917 – 1929 – 1941 – 1953 – 1965 – 1977 – 1989 )
    Horse ( 1918 – 1930 – 1942 – 1954 – 1966 – 1978 – 1990 )
    Goat or Sheep ( 1919 – 1931 – 1943 – 1955 – 1967 – 1979 – 1991 )
    Monkey ( 1920 – 1932 – 1944 – 1956 – 1968 – 1980 – 1992 )
    Rooster ( 1921 – 1933 – 1945 – 1957 – 1969 – 1981 – 1993
    Dog ( 1910 – 1922 – 1934 – 1946 – 1958 – 1970 – 1982 )
    Boar ( 1911 – 1923 – 1935 – 1947 – 1959 – 1971 – 1983 )

    Not very up to date, but it there. Add twelve or so to the last ear and you have a new one that corresponds. Though there are certain cases that differ. Something about the date of Chinese New Year. Dunno.

    Monkey, baby.

  4. I’m a dog. Yay. It’s the unlucky year for me, as the superstition states. My friend’s 12th birthday was on New Years. Boo. She’s older than me, but only by a few days since my b-day is on February 2nd.

  5. Gong xi fa cai! (a day late) I’m a monkey, my dad is a monkey, my mom is a dog, my sister is a dog, and my dog is a snake. 1996 is rat, unless you were born before Chinese New Year, in which case you’re a pig. (We call it pig, they call it boar. Whatever.)

  7. “Anata”, I hope you know your name means you or your in Japanese. Cause it does. A little fact for y’all.

    I never get anything for Chinese New Year, quite possibly related to the fact I’m not Chinese. -hmm-

  12. I am sure I was Chinese in a past life. I was one of Mrs. Chang’s fearsome fleet of pirates. With cutlasses. And yes, the women worked as hard as the men.

  16. Why would you like to be a Dragon? Astrological signs are animals on a chart made by dead people. (They weren’t dead when they made it-obviously. They’re dead now. That’s what I mean.) If in your soul, you are a dragon, then why do you care whether you were born in that year or not?

  17. Grant, baby, that’s not the point. It’s exploring another culture’s system of chronology. Why did we invent Godwin’s Law? Why do people do cadavers? We’re curious. Hence our liking of the Chinese zodiac.

    Don’t be so xenophobic.

  18. I’m a monkey. According to placemats I’ve seen in Chinese restaurants, I get along well with rats and dragons.

  19. I don’t belive in that stuff, it just interests me.
    Actually, my friends gave me an assesment test last year and I was a sphinx. Zyviva was a centaur. Well, an insane killer centaur of death. I’m not sure if it changed.

    Kelpies are cool!

  20. Sphinx? Centaur? You and Zyviva must eat in different Chinese restaurants from the ones I frequent.

  21. What’s wrong with monkeys? Or, for that matter (see #40), with dead people? Honestly, the closed-mindedness of some people.

  23. I have nothing against monkies. I am absolutely obsessed with them. And I love dead people. They don’t say stupid things like 99.9% of the living population.

  24. I’m a monkey. Devastatingly clever and froody, sulks if can’t do stuff right, and can climb almost anything. Yup.
    My bro’s a dog, and seriously, when he looks sad he looks like a little puppy left out in the rain.

  25. Ugh.

    Sock monkeys scare me. They’re really hard to make-dogs are easier. I like to wear kneesocks, anyway.

  26. Okay, heres something to confuse you guys:

    I was born at the begening of January, so here im a monkey. But the chinese new year starts in Febuary, so by that logic im a goat. Plus, im a Capricorn but that has nothing to do with this. Go Me!
