2008: Year of My Rat
When me and Jordy were growing up in Portage la Prairie, "hanging a rat" meant you showed someone (who did not want to see it) your wiener. It happened a lot in post-game change-rooms in hockey arenas where a young naked fellow might decide to climb up on the bench behind a guy who was talking to someone else and put his wiener as close to the back of the other guy's head as possible without actually touching it, whereupon the young naked fellow would call that other person's attention, thereby "hanging a rat" right in his face. It was hilarious. Of course, it is considered a sexual offense these days, so i frown on this sort of behavior in my maturity.
Anyways, welcome to the Chinese Year of the Rat! This is the first year in history that we are going to actually try to plan our year out rather than just do things randomly (don't worry, we have adults helping us). So our tentative schedule so far includes: going to Japan in spring*, perhaps going to Scandinavia in summer* and finally, recording a new record in September!*
So stayed tuned freaks! We are on the loose!
*unless we get colds.
