Dang, with all the Valentine's talk I totally forgot today was also Chinese New Year. Gung hai fat choi, and may you usher in the Year of the Tiger with long, tasty noodles!

Oh it is, well guing hay fat choy(sorry for spelling) I was born on the year of the rat

Avistew · 02/14/2010, 06:51 am

Happy New Year!

Now, to find a tiger to celebrate...

*Icedhope* · 02/16/2010, 03:29 am

Did someone just call me fat what? Oh and Happy new year me thinks.

GinnyN · 02/16/2010, 03:32 am

Happy Tigers New Year.

By the way, and thanks to Farmville in fact, when is Mardi Grass?

*Lena_P* · 02/16/2010, 07:08 am

The same time as Martes de Carnaval, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, a.k.a. the beginning of Lent, which is this Tuesday. Which is today, I guess.

Avistew · 02/16/2010, 08:06 am

Mardis Gras is today.
So Happy Mardis Gras to anyone who celebrates it! Try not to get floured too much (if that's the tradition where you are).

*Lena_P* · 02/16/2010, 08:15 am

In the States I think it's more a tradition to just get really drunk, which is pretty much our tradition for every holiday but Presidents Day and MLK Jr Day, now that I think about it ...

Avistew · 02/16/2010, 09:11 am

I'm sure you could end up covered in flour anyway if you get drunk enough.

GinnyN · 02/16/2010, 09:39 am

I always believed all those celebrations are because, in ancient times, that were the last party before lent. Which means, 40 days without make a party.

Given that many of our founding fathers were, in fact, brewers, and Thomas Jefferson branched out into wine (learn more at http://www.earlyamerica.com/review/2...orefathers.htm I think it's quite appropriate to raise a pint or two to them. I myself raised a few while checking out MC Frontalot last night.

Hope the Year of the Tiger is a prosperous one for all of you and that your Mardi Gras/Carnival celebrations are a blast!

Thanks Fawful, I'm totally appropriating that as my avatar since, as I was just saying to nikasaur, most of my function here is to kill threads by dropping random historical lectures.

For what it's worth, I think the stuff you say is pretty interesting.
I don't remember it after I read it, but still.

*Lena_P* · 02/17/2010, 10:21 am

Personally, I can't get enough of random historical lectures, especially if they're about the Georgian era. I just couldn't think of any jokes about drunken Fathers of Our Country that weren't already made in "1776". In the future, if you could feed me lines about Ben Franklin's eldest son (That kid was a real bastard!) or George III death (He took a powder, in the powder room*!) I'd have something more to work with.

*Note: I realize privies were not at the time called powder rooms, which were where one re-powdered their wigs, but still, I feel I can take a few liberties for the sake of the joke.

Thank you both for justifying my blathering. This thread killing is a new outlet, normally I just tell these stories at parties, though I am pretty handy for trivial pursuit/pub quiz nights.

Unfortunately, Lena I'm pretty weak in US/UK history (I know, I know, i should brush up on it). My areas of focus were ancient to medieval Asia and medieval Europe, largely military but also some religious persecution/heretical sects.

By all means, history it up. I'm addicted to trivia, no matter what it's about.

Avistew · 02/17/2010, 05:41 pm

Well, I think that's the first time I've ever wished to go to a party. I'd love to hear you talk about stuff there. Where and when is the next one? :P
