Happy Chinese New Year: not just pig, but FIRE PIG!

fire pig? aparently. ive always heard that the chinese horoscope follows a 12 year cycle, but aparently, each animal has five modifiers. earth, wind, fire, water and heavy metal. this makes it a 60 year cycle. for instance, I was born in 1974, which makes me a tiger... but a wood tiger, or "tiger standing still"

2007 is the year of the Fire Pig, or the "Pig passing the Mountain." (Passing really fast? burning rubber? passing fiery gas?)

go
here. to find your modifier, and Here. to find out the poetic phrase for your year, or to look up celebrity's years.

so, anyone for arbys?

I've been hearing that it's a special year because it's the GOLDEN PIG year.

whoa, the golden pig happens every six hundred years. as far as i can google, its a very lucky year for newborns.

"They say babies born in the golden pig year will have comfortable and wealthy lives."

COME ON CLETUS THE FETUS!

WOOD BUNNY! Huzzah!

Go Go METAL MONKEY!!

sorry, had to.

Fire Dragon, apparently me and Ringo Star kick much ass. but, then again, i already knew that.

metal rooster makes me think of that Come To Kill the Rooster song. your theme song maybe?

Ditto.

FIRE SNAKE!

It's weird, they seem to have a real SNL skitch shortage. I was trying to find the one where Will Ferrel berates the dog and they did not have it.
Or almost any other Will Ferrel skitchs

your poetic name is "snake in the Fish Pond" (as was an Ex of mine) pretty hot, huh?

Oh man. The mom joke potential of that is outstanding.

I loved it!

Oooh, I'm a water pig (pig in the forest).

"The Pig will know a life filled with serenity and riches." Bring it on!

METAL COCKS ROCK ON!!!!

I'm a wood dragon , which means that I'm older then most of you . Now get off my lawn ! And if you must enter , take your shoes off first .

happay new year! Its year of the DingHai! Welcome to 4704!

skitchs?!

you are sleeping on the couch tonight.

So do watery pigs, but I'm not going to argue.

Fire horse.

Me too!

The water bit doesn't surprise me at all - I've always known that water was a huge element in my life.

And hey, Chiang Kai-Shek is also a Pig! That rules.

You're a fire rabbit, I think.

I'm a water ox. It used to say so in my profile, until SG changed the layout and that field disappeared.
