It’s the year of the Cock!
It’s, I mean, the Chinese New Year, the year of the Rooster, but here at Fjord we’ve instantly taken a liking to the alternate pronunciation, “Year of the Cock.” After snooping through the confidential personnel files at Fjord H.R., I’ve turned up this juicy factoid for you celebrity news junkies. Someone on the staff of Fjord is a Cock! I’m not going to name names to protect the innocent, but here’s a hint, his name starts with “Q.”
Anyways, I’m not of Chinese descent, or really know anything about the Chinese’s long and ancient history. But, I do love any kind of future-prediction framework, and the Chinese Zodiac is just such a deal-i-o.
The Year of the Cock…here’s some details, from an on-line encyclopedia…
2005: Year of the Rooster
The Rooster is the strutting peacock of the Chinese Zodiac. These quick thinkers are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observant. It's hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic. This Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and accountants, to name a few of this Sign's possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others' honesty in kind.
I’m not sure what this has to do with a year…it sounds more like what a cock’s personality is like (like, umm a Scorpio). I mean, great…THIS year is going to be practical and resourceful, a good lawyer, and have eyes in the back of its head!
How the hell is that different from last year!?
Screw you online encyclopedia!!!
You just made the list!
Let’s just work on the idea that if you’re a Cock, it’ll be a good year. If you have a Cock, it’ll be a good year. If you don’t have a Cock, get one quick! (you can get them very cheap at the Cock store, or sometimes just out and about on the sidewalks, if you’re lucky) Then, keep your Cock very very close to you, and hold onto your Cock, all year long.
2005 a great time to be a Cock, or...just to say "Cock," go ahead, say it! It's pretty fun.
