What makes the Chinese signs impossible to even suspend belief about (or even use in a fun way with friends) is the absurd fact that nearly EVERYBODY I went to grade school with has the same sign (Feb 17, 1969 to Feb 5, 1970) and yet there are such diverse personalities in one's class................................................
I just don't get how any use, even just for fun, could be gotten out of the Chinese signs, unless it's only used intergenerationally well away from ones early peers. |
While in Seogwipo, I had a class that by coincidence (or perhaps the manipulation of the director) was made up entirely of 12 year old girls....12 by western age. I normally get along much better with the younger ones, so I was suprised at how quickly we all bonded and how close we got. That class was a lot of fun to teach and they were always laughing, cracking jokes, and teasing each other and me. One day, we were talking about the Chinese signs and I asked them what sign they were. They said, "tiger". I'm a tiger. I've always wondered if that was why we all clicked to well. I also had classes mainly made up of 11 year olds, 13 year olds, etc. Never had that same rapport as that one class of 12 year olds. Erie. |

Dudes.
I'm like the 4th or 5th metal dog on here. I am assuming we are all 1970 and not 1910? We should form a rock band or something...we just need to come up with a name that shows that we are true heavy metal beasts!!!
Any thoughts?
And maybe we can get Michael Jackson to do some guest vocals or something... |

And I like Blacksmithbeotches. Nice ring to it. But how in the world did you come up with "MetalDogs"? That's just ridiculous.  |
