Happy Lunar New Year
« on: January 29, 2025, 11:09:36 PM »
Inspired by the Larson cartoon "God makes snakes" - "Boy, these things are a cinch" as god rolls out snakes from clay.

Happy Year of the Snake everyone.

I love this mad dash of mid-winter holidays: Robbie Burns, LNY, Groundhog Day, Valentine's, Family Day weekend (ice fishing). I like to have a theme to decorate and cook for, at my age its better than thinking up something myself.

And a Happy New Year of the Snake to you, too. (There's something I've never typed before).
I'm not sure we celebrate many of the "Days" you mention but I hope you enjoy them all. Please post the results of your ice fishing exploits!

I hope you at least do Pancake Tuesday?

To be fair most people don't celebrate these minor holidays here much either.

Groundhog Day is easy, stand a sausage up in a mound of mash and give them a mustard face to enjoy eating while you watch Bill Murry's Groundhog Day.

It is possible I have spent a few decades too many isolated in the bush.

Many years ago, I wrote a cartoon about the moment Robinson Crusoe discovered he was not alone on his island. "I will name you after the day I found you---greetings, Pancake Tuesday!"
Believe it or not, I got paid for that.

Just did Valentine's on Friday and Flag Day yesterday. It was the 60th anniversary of the maple leaf flag and people in Canada were making an unusually big fuss of the day, what with threats of becoming the 51st American state.

Canada will become America's 51st State. Gaza will become some sort of American theme park. Greenland will be bought/invaded by America. It's comforting to know that the world's greatest power is run by such a rational individual. (I'm writing this from my home on the Gulf of America).
Happy Valentine's Day!

We are indeed privileged to live in the Trump Motherland, Roger.

Just trying get over the fact I'm actually older than the Canadian maple leaf flag.
