Buh bye Year of the Water Goat



Happy Year of the Wood Monkey



As a Goat myself, last year was supposed to rock. Not.



Monkey is often troublesome... we'll see.



Extra Bonus for those who want to observe token Lunar New Year Custom: no housework.



Some Chinese traditions hold that you cannot sweep your house on the first day of New Year

or you risk sweeping out the Good luck for the year ahead.



Good fortune to all and a successful year ahead.



The original Macintosh, Jan 20 1984, was a Water Pig

Quote:

The Pigs profound honesty and childlike trust is the only thing that can disarm the manipulative instincts of the Monkey year. It is the Pig who will transform this Monkey year, not the other way around. However, the highs are high and the lows are low. The Pig has the last word this year - a karmic reward for their lack of self-seeking and unconditional love

    As a wood monkey myself, I welcome our new simian masters. Let the tree climbing begin.

    What about the puke from the year behind? (the night before, to be precise)



    Wait, they didn't say anything about mopping.

    The year of the monkey will also see events like this take place. The news item confirms the theory that a jackass became the education minister of a certain country.

    I like monkeys ...



    I'm a bunny, I guess I shouldn't be very excited about them. But monkey things are funny, and this year should be a lot funnier than the year after (cock).



    if you don't know your sign..

    I'm a fire dragon, so I guess I'm supposed to be good with monkeys, but I'm not so sure about the whole fire/wood thing.
