    Apparently 2004 is the chinese year of the Monkey. That should be good for me.

    And now I am off to LA for a job interview.

    Good luck to all other monkeys!

    And Wesmorris: All my current spuriousmonkey tshirts are dirty and I am not taking them with me for the job interview.

    ah ja...the trip to the US was a complete distaster. So much for the year of the monkey. Maybe it is the year of the distaster for the monkey.

    spuriousmonkey.........The question is , were you born in the year of the monkey or not? If you weren't then this isn't your year at all.

    Good boy! You weren't born yesterday, or even the day before!

    You wouldn't want a job in LA anyway, it keeps getting nuked and attacked by killer robots. Also, there's earthquakes, and riots, and Snake Plissken. After that come the fires, the mudslides, the sinking into the sea...

    spuriousmonkey......The animals that the Chinese use , 12 in all, go around in a circle. Go to the year of your birth to see what animal you were born in. That way you'll know when your year is here! Check out the Chinese Zodiac here:

    disaster? oh no! was it t-shirt related? you take a giant mushroom to your interview and start humping it did you?

    "look at me! I'm one mushroom humping sumbitch!!!"

    interesting strategy. hmm. you could make that work. you gotta refine it a bit though. you gotta sell them on why the mushrooms needs a humpin', why you're the best humper and why they should give you power of attorney over their company's account in order to ensure that you keep on humping.

    i like your creative approach.

    oh and every year is the "year of the monkey" isn't it?

    Ya you imposeter! Wannabe Year of the Monkey! What sign are you really? There are also the five elements that repeat every sixty years. On element for each sign every twelve years.


    I happen to be a Fire element. To my knowledge, Fire is the last of the five elements, and Gold is the first. Somewhere in between, are wind, wood, and water.


    I also happen to be my favorite sign there is out of the sixty.

    Biased?
    Although my parents have no clue what sign I am, my animal sign is also the most common. The reason is, thousands of people that actually believe in all of this, scramble to hump each other when the Year of the Dragon is near. That way they have a child that is born on this year. I even heard somewhere that only Dragons were allowed to rule. Dragons are said to be granted with a great many metaphysical powers. We are a glimpse into the future. Many Dragons however are quite daft. Not me of course. Heavens not me

    As for the Monkeyes, I don't really know much about those. Only that you're not one. You should think about finding a new career.

    I was born the year of the dragon, 1988. It meshes well with my already-dragonlike Leo!
