"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Can someone who knows more about this than I and does not necessarily trust the results of a half-assed Google search tell me what, as far as Chinese astrology etc is concerned, this is supposed to mean? A year of divine mischief and caprice, one would hope.

The extent of my knowledge of the Chinese Zodiac (so to speak) comes from a paper placemat in read in a restaurant when I was nine years old. I remember being extremely irritated that I had missed being a totally awesome Snake by a handful of days - and had instead ended up a goddamned hoss.

I WILL TRY HARDER

Oh, cry me a goddamn river. I was, and remain, a Pig. (Well, "Boar" on some of the more polite listings.) This really did not help as a kid, honestly.

(I first typoed "Pig" as "Pog." This feels somehow appropriate, and I am forced to wonder about the poor sap with the Pog as a totem... thing.)

I was born in the year of the Dragon.  Yeah, fuck the rest of you.

Oh fine, Jough gets the coolest and only fictional animal while I'm stuck with the ram. Which some placemats go so far as to call a sheep. And not even the cool Super Aquatic Sheep, either!

At least my Shanghai layout is cooler than Jough's

I'm a Rat.  Since that's as close as you get to a capybara in the Chinese zodiac, I like it.

Snake.  It's a snaaaake.

Also, I am a Scorpio.  So I pretty much got the two coolest zodiac signs, dragon notwithstanding.

Too bad all that crap is meaningless and all...

Cort and I are the same age, so I'm a sheep, too.

I thought I was a tiger, but then I realized I was born before the "Chinese" new year so i'm an OX.

Another dragon, reporting for duty.

This is a creative way to get the ladies to reveal their ages.

"What's your sign?"
"--Oh, please, that's the oldest line in the book."
"No, no, your Chinese sign."
"! That? Why, I'm a Rabbit! I didn't even know people other than myself kept up with that!"
"Ah. So, me being a Dog, we're meant to be together." plus I know you're 28! Ha ha ha!

TAKE THAT, SUBTLE BEEYOTCHES!

Yeah, I thought of that.  I mean, if you can guess someone's age within 12 years, it works like a charm.
