Good thing I'm not Chinese - El Dingo - 02-08-2008

Thanks, I guess...

- Many arguments, perhaps even lawsuits, are in your forecast. Beware of human relationship traps.

- Mishaps in your family cause you great worry. Beware of your old maladies.

- Wealth is rich but health is poor. Sickness looms.

- The New Year doesn't start smoothly. Your wishes won't be granted. Your budget is tight. You’re unprepared for a lot.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hare in 2008 - Anticipate an emotional rollercoaster. Many arguments, perhaps even lawsuits, are in your forecast. Beware of human relationship traps. Stay low key. Manage good social relationships. Don’t just do things your own way. Think more about others. Think about your health. Get plenty of exercise and sleep. Relax with wholesome entertainment. Be open minded and open hearted. Learn how to give. Only when you give, you gain.

Fire ’27: Mishaps in your family cause you great worry. Beware of your old maladies.
Earth ’39: Wealth is rich but health is poor. Sickness looms.
Metal ’51: Expect obstacles with civil servants. It’s better to be low key now.
Water ’63: Vacillate and you won’t finish. Just do it because the opportunity is fleeting.
Wood’75: Social activities and relationships look good, but cost you a lot of cash.
Fire ’87: Don’t be lazy. To pump yourself up, exercise regularly and frequently

2/4-3/5: The New Year doesn't start smoothly. Your wishes won't be granted. Your budget is tight. You’re unprepared for a lot. Be low key. Give yourself plenty of wiggle room.

3/5-4/5: Beware of a relationship trap. One step at a time. Obey the law. Concentrate on your mind on your troubles and don’t add new ones.

Mine was generally pretty positive...even this isn't all that negative:

It’s difficult to get along with other humans. Avoid flunkies.

Kudos to Kungfumag - scapino - 02-10-2008

Best part of your New Years horiscopes are the quotes from other notables that share the same zodiac sign.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. "
Tiger H. P. Lovecraft

"Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture."
Tiger Allen Ginsberg

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak."
Tiger Jay Leno

Of coarse I was feeling great about the other people who share my chinese zodiac animal, the Tiger...until I came upon the quote from Pat Buchanan.

First off, I'm following a Scapino post! Excellent.

As I get in line at the Chinese buffet, this is what the guys in the kitchen yell at me: Gung ho, Fat Boy

RE: Gung hay fat choy... - Greg - 01-20-2023

You should go to China. They take a picture with you and then yell that.

Happy horse is out. Sad horse is in.

Next month will mark the beginning of the Year of the Horse on the Chinese calendar. To celebrate, countless stuffed horse toys have been manufactured. At least a few had their entire mouth panel sewn on upside-down, and the result is darkly comic:

These forlorn and fearful horses are perfect. I have no notes. Compared to the “correct” version, there’s no question as to which is superior:

Happy horse is a bland bit of nothingness. Sad horse speaks to my soul.
As a reader of this website, you will likely be unsurprised to learn that the Cry-Cry Horse has gone viral, and is now being intentionally manufactured, in record numbers.
