Happy Lunar New Year!

Post by [AOD] »

Yes, I know it's a little late for this, but still, since I don't see any other threads about it, I might as well. Ahem.

According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, it's now the year of the Pig!

Now, I'm not the most 'traditional' person in the world, nor is my family, and we don't particularly follow any religion, or holiday, but it's still customary for us to wish each other and others well come the New Year. Hence:

Happy new year to everyone. I wish you all prosperity, longevity, and good fortune! May all your comics get more hits this year!

It feels like it's only been 12 years since the last time!

Year of the Rooster was cooler, because that's when I was born.

A year of fire and water, causing chaos and confusion and spreading discontent and difficulty throughout the world.

Goooo PIG! :D

Surprisingly similar to Year of the Pig in most respects.

Speaking of cock, I'm kinda hungry. Looks like it's time to visit the colonel.

I motion that we bring back the pig-drawing thread to commemorate the year of the pig?

completly random comment, but did you guys know that KFC actually tried to have a series of ads stating that their food was healthy and made you lose weight??

Apparently there was some uproar and they had to take it down asap....I wonder why... lol :wink:

You'd lose weight if you had to catch, bread, and fry your own KFC chickens.
