And now, while all of you are busy wondering "What in the name of f**k is ESB doing this time?" I would like to wish you all a Happy Lunar New Year!

(You see, the Chinese Calendar is about a month behind the Gregorian Calendar, so their New Year's Day falls on February instead. Usually, children receive red packets containing cash from adults (singles are considered children and adults are all married couples, so one could expect to receive a red packet from one's cousin if one was single and your cousing was married))

~END CURRENT RANDOMNESS~

I would give the younger members of the board red envelops with a couple of nicely ironed dollars bills, but Im gonna claim exempt status due to no job and Im white. :wink:

However, If you any of you married members, wanna send me some New Years money. Send it too

Stupid question time: does Hell Money enter into this or am I getting my cultural groups mixed up?

Not the cultural groups, but Hell Money isn't used for Lunar New Year.
