    Its a day late but since I didn't see a Chinese New Year thread thought I would wish all the Clutch Fans Gong Hei Fat Choi!

    What have people been doing to celebrate it?

    I heard that it is really great in Texas. Most feral hogs up here in Arkansas live in the southern half of the state.

    Is it true that China or some other country or body of people decided to change the year of the pig because they thought it would offend Muslims?

    Love Chinnese New Year. Growing up my best friends mom would give us cash in those little red and gold envelopes.

    ...I don't get those anymore. :(

    Gong Hey Fat Choi to everyone.

    Did anyone go to the Chinese Community Center Lunar Year celebration? I recorded the Mariachi Imperial playing a Chinese song and singing a Chinese song. Can anyone tell me the name of the song they're playing :confused:

    here's my thing about religion etc.. will these out of date customers be around say in the year 4000???

    will humans ever question some of their customs?

    how the f@$# are we suppose to face the other beings in the universe if we have such stupid customs? the other beings would think we are stupid creatures who can't get along for stupid reasons and will not share their technology or natural resources with us.

    then they will obliterate us. Decepticons rule!!!

    I spent most of the first 2 days watching the all-star games and prison break. I also checked out my fortune in the year of the golden pig for dragon - lots of work to do in this year but with great opportunity in career.
