It's not The Year of the Cat right?

Hate to name drop but I was at Al Stewart's home once. Impressed? Yeah didn't think so.

Actually upon further research, it is the Year of the Sheep and The Fire Sheep to be exact (I'm a Scorpio and we love to be exact) I was pleasantly surprised. This is my year having been born in 1967. I believe it is my year of Career, Money, Love and Happiness (in no special order). I believe that I'm off to a gr8 start. That's just awesome. Made my day or . . . year.

Yeah ECC, according to the link above it can be a goat, sheep, or any member of the caprinae subfamily.

But I thought Year of the Goat sounded better, and tried to make a joke about it.

I've always like Al Stewart, if you see him again say hi.

I like Ram. ;-) Yes it can be all those things. What does it mean for me? I'm a Fire Sheep this time around. Now what?

I'll likely never see Al Stewart again. Was a serendipitous encounter.

Caprinae family? Ooh that sounds cool. I love Cabernets too, and like so many of you, a good OT thread. :-)~

MrOSO, please swing some chickens for me. It's my year and I'm hoping for a great one.

Btw, next year is El Ao de La Chupacabra! :-O

I hope its a very good year for everyone!

No just us born in '67!

CORRECTION- Okay I was born in the Year of the Fire Sheep. 2015, however, is the Year of the Wooden Sheep (Goat/Ram). It's all so complicated. I think I'm compatible with a .

I myself am a horse. No silly, not the horse with no name made famous by the song. But I have been through the desert.

Actually, way back when, I was born in the Year of the Horse. But now I'm a panda. That took some strong shit to make that happen.

I heard Goats will eat anything.

I'm a cow personally...Al Stewart was not singing about my evil tempered tomcat...

As is often the case in my life, I won't let you get my goat.

I'm a discriminating sheep actually. You can only pet my soft fur if I like you. Chances are, you won't have felt my pelt. But if I really like you, you can have my ram.

I like goat...on sourdough with mayonnaise...

Oh, happy new year...

Bon appetit...

An Icelandic dish. Hmmm you may be serious then. Did you savor the gushing eyeballs? Feel naughty when you bucked superstition and ate the ears? Check for the little bone under the tongue? Love the anecdote:

"Never did I expect to taste such a barbaric dish as a sheep's head. But a decade later there it was on my plate, looking up at me with a sorrowful glaze in its eyes. I pulled the jaw apart and stabbed a clump of meat with my fork. When in Iceland...

And it wasn't bad. Really. The cheek, where most of the meat is found, was tender and rather tasty. Dipped in a little rhubarb jelly, it was even better. Just beware of the eyes. Those baby blues are considered a delicacy. Well, really, it's the entire eye socket that some Icelanders find so appetizing, with or without the actual eyeball included. So plop that hunk of meat into your mouth and try to think about something else. Anything else."
