And Gung Ho Fat Boy to you, too.

Kim sends his thanks for the kind thoughts. :chuncky:

When the hell is this actually happening? There's been bits about Street Dragons and lanterns and dancing Asians on the news for days and it still hasn't happened???

But Happy 4712, 4711, or 4651 Asia.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of the 3rd millennium BC Yellow Emperor. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year beginning AD 2014 the "Chinese Year" 4712, 4711, or 4651.

Who are we to quibble? We're still arguing over the real date of Christmas.
