Happy Chinese New Year!

[wei yau]

It is the year of the Ox, the Earth Ox to be more precise.

So, happy Chinese New Year to all of you...even the gwailos.

[Smilin]

What is a gwailo?

[Smilin]

and Happy Chinese New Year to you too Wei... :wave:

[Shelli]

Yays! :celebrate:

Free Chinese food! :chopsticks:

[BrotherMan]

What is a gwailo?

Your mom.

[Crumb]

Happy Ox! :bull:

[ChuckF]

w00t for the Earth Ox :party3:

I can never remember the words to Aurd Rang Syne.

[BrotherMan]

So tempted to make my cow-man-mutant guy. Usually I call him MightyMoo, but on this auspicious occasion I'd try for Butte Ox.

[ChuckF]

So tempted to make my cow-man-mutant guy.
This will never work, and it's also why you can't ever go back to the petting zoo.

[BrotherMan]

The law can't stop my love!

[Dingfod]

Gung hay fat choy, hingdai, even if you think I'm a white devil.

[godfry n. glad]

May the year pass without your Ox being gored.

[livius drusus]

Happy New Yeal!
:chinesedragon:

[Watser?]

Yay! A new smirie! :flowerdance:

[ChuckF]

This innocuous thread about a major holiday observed by hundreds of millions of people in an ancient and profoundly influential culture is quickly becoming a stale recitation of Western racist stereotypes and smears. And implied bestiality.

I approve.

[BrotherMan]

aaaah! AAAAH! ACHOOO!
:chinesedragon:

What's chinese for gesundheit?

[ChuckF]

GESUNDHAAAAAAAAIIIT!
:sulu:

[wei yau]

:chinesedragon:

Awesome smile! There's simply no end to the wonder that is the hoard.

[godfry n. glad]

Gung Zhu Hai-tsu?
:confucius:

[Sock Puppet]

Here's hoping your gung hay has the phattest choy on the mothafuckin' block.

[Qingdai]

Dagnabbit. I was hoping to start the Chinese New Year thread.

So here is one Chinese astrological take, "Whether ploughing fields or carrying heavy loads, the Ox has served mankind [and apparently Brotherman] well. Strong, hard working and reliable he is a dutiful worker [watch out ChuckF]"
The guy, Neil Somerville, then goes on to spout true-isms, and other obvious vague stuff, but whatever.
Happy Lunar New Year.

[Doctor X]

But of course none of you celebrated the Polish New Year last February 31st. . . .

* Demimonde didn't realize that the Mezo Americans saw a rabbit in the moon as well.

[Smilin]

Nor did anyone celebrate the Cherokee New Year (Nv-wo-ti E-qua) celebrated during the new moon of October.

Here's hoping your gung hay has the phattest choy on the mothafuckin' block.

Blimey, Sock, there's no need to insult our favourite yellow friend.

[Clutch Munny]

Chun jie kuai le!

We just had jiaozi for dinner...

It's Asian folklore. They don't see a face, ie the "Man in the Moon", instead they see a Rabbit. Cultural pareidolia difference I supppose.

The shape near his feet is a vessel, in which he makes the exlir of life.

You'll learn to ignore me soon enough...

I was making a Mystery Science Theater 3000 joke. Thanks for the info though. :wink:
