Dear 2012

[strawman]

Thanks for landing another man made robot on a planet other than Earth.

 

[North_Ranger]

Thanks for proving yet another generation of Erich von Däniken wannabes wrong.

Thanks for earworm-quality K-pop.[DOUBLEPOST=1357039936][/DOUBLEPOST]

Dear 2012

Go fuck yourself.

 

[General Specific]

Yay for introducing me to dill616 Look for some fun announcements from us in 2013.

Boo for taking my grandmother.

 

[Gusto]

2012: Marginally better than 2011.

2013 is gonna be my year.

 

[bhamv3]

Thanks for making me gain 20 kilograms. That's around 45 pounds.

Diet time.

 

[Cajungal]

Dear 2012,

Thanks for the continued employment, the fun wedding, and the memorable honeymoon. You were pretty good to me.

-Seej

Dear 2013,

Please don't take any more of my relatives. I'm still healing. Also, please remind me to relax more and find some balance with my job. OH, and if you
could give me some motivation to get my apartment organized, that would be awesome.

-Seej

 

[blotsfan]

Dear 2012,
You weren't that good. Some fun times but some bad lows too.

Dear 2013,
Please be better.

 

[Emrys]

Dear 2012 - you were pretty good but no more messing with my health, OK?

2013, be kind to some of my friends; they're going through some rough times. And if you take any of my doomweasels from me, I'll cut you.

Only 20? Pfft, Weakling.

 

[WasabiPoptart]

Dear 2012 - You were good, but the parts that were bad really sucked. You were no where near being the worst year ever, so I'll take my lumps and be glad that's all I had to deal with this past year.

Hey 2013! We could be good together. But it's going to take a lot of work, a bit of patience, and some cooperation. Let's start off on the right foot, ok?
P.S. It would be a big help if you could make the Navy quit fucking up Mr. Wasabi's paycheck. Thanks.

 

[Officer_Charon]

Dear 2012, not bad, could have been much better, though.

Dear 2013, please don't take another baby from us.

 

[Jay]

2012 - Got a nice promotion, got married in FUCKEN LAS VEGAS at the Bellagio Fountain! Went on a honeymoon in Europe and wrapped that nicely up as an expecting father.... a good year.

 

[bhamv3]

Only 20? Pfft, Weakling.

20 kilograms of pure muscle, man!

And by muscle I mean blubber.

Seriously, they could drain my subcutaneous layer and use it as a fuel source. I'd solve the global energy crisis single-handedly. Well, single-bellyedly.

Well, you better get yourself ready. 春节 is soon, and we know what that means. *Prepares a second belt*.

 

[strawman]

It means I'd better make sure my suppliers have a schedule and ship everything before they shut down for the holiday is what it means.

Does that mean I get to watch my son freak out again as I "feed" a lion a red envelope with a couple dollars in it?

 

[Terrik]

Heh. Here's hopin a few people "feed" me a few red envelopes.

 

[Ravenpoe]

Can someone fill me in with a phonetic spelling of that holiday? I feel odd calling it two squiggly symbols.

 

[Terrik]

Chun jie (Spring festival/Chinese New Year).

Phonetic would be..uh.,

Chwin (1 syllable) Jeeay (1 syllable). Im not so good at this phonetic thing.

 

[bhamv3]

Basically, just call it Chinese New Year. It's what we're accustomed to Westerners calling it.

Chinese people call it "oh god my waistline."

Do you guys still drink a copious amount of baijiu down in Taiwan?

 

[strawman]

Dear 2012,

2013 is going to have enough problems without you mucking up the first week by distributing illnesses you knew would last through the new year.

I'm never going to visit your establishment again if you don't improve your customer service.

 

[bhamv3]

Do you guys still drink a copious amount of baijiu down in Taiwan?

I'm probably the wrong person to ask since I'm a teetotaler so I don't know much about drinking and drinking habits.

 

[Frank]

Dear 2012, thanks for the stroke.

Dear 2013, I've had enough strokes thanks.

What you don't smoke, drink baijiu and eat jiaozi while setting off fireworks?

 

[Adam]

Dear 2012,

Thank you for not killing off any Halforumites.

Thanks,
Adam

Dear Shego,

Ditto.

Thanks,
Adam

 

[bhamv3]

Don't smoke, don't drink baijiu, do eat jiaozi, and I play video games with explosions in them.

I smoke, drink baijiu, eat jiaozi and set off fireworks for new years. China is a hard country to quit smoking in.

DEAR 2012, you can keep my pack of smokes.... (I'll buy a new one for $1.75 )

 

[jwhouk]

Dear 2012,

Things kinda started to stink after June 5th. It'd be appreciated if that mistake wasn't repeated in the future.

 

[Emrys]

Check the best before date for this year.

Just breathing outside gives you the craving.

 

[The_Khan]

yeah, the group of people smoking in the hallway certainly doesn't help.

I'm down to about 2 smokes a night at this point. Am able to go a day or two before the urge kicks in and I'm at the street corner buying a pack of zai ba for 7 yuan.

我不想抽烟但是我喜欢抽烟. 我应该干什么?

terrik 春节的时候,你出那里? 我好像跟我朋友们出上海.你在吗?

我去年也挺喜欢抽烟，但是我发现如果我不喝酒，我也不会抽，所以我就不喝了。


关于春节的事情。。。我不一定。 如果有时间的话，我想我应该回国，但是不知道是不是很方便。 如果我不去的话，我也想我应该陪我女朋友回去安徽过春节，但是不一定留多久时间。 也许只需要呆几天，然后回去上海。 现在太早了，我搞不清楚。 你确定好你的计划的时候，你可以给我发信息。

好了，应该不打中文，bhamv 会笑死了.
