#298— DEAD OR ALIVE

New Year’s Day is Too Soon, So at the Deluded Custodians HQ in Calzoncillos, We Will Celebrate Lunar New Year.

The Year of the Wood Dragon

The Lunar New Year begins February 10, 2024, the Year of the Wood Dragon.

Put on your thinking caps, fellow Deluded Custodians, and tell me why is there a mythical creature in the Chinese Zodiac?

Why was there not a panda instead who crossed the river to the Emperor?

Were you born in the Year of the Dragon, the luckiest of all signs?

I’m going to take a couple of wild guesses and say Ryan Klemek, Posy Churchgate and May More 💜 Tales were born in the year of the rabbit, ‘cuz, you know.

Smillew Rahcuef and BichoDoMato were born in the year of the rat.

Those born in the year of the Rat are intelligent and have big imaginations. They are strong willed, idealistic, ambitious, tolerant, and charming. They like people and so they have lots of friends. They also like collecting things. — The Race for the Chinese Zodiac by Gabrielle Wang, illustrated by Sally Rippin
