I just wanted to take this opportunity, as a public service announcement for other Asians on Earth who go by the lunar calendar, to remind you that it's not only Chinese humanoids who are going hog wild today. Am I weird, but I get irked when people say to me, "happy chinese new year" even though I'm Chinese. I appreciate it and happy new year to you too, but the world ain't chinese-centric. It only appears so on TV.
There is no doubt that it's the year of the Ox though, which I like. That's me. Bovine Brian. Happy New Year all! Now, back to my dumplings.
