good morning, and happy "go bears!!!" chinese new year

i was watching the channel 9 news this morning, and they had a group of performers on to celebrate the chinese new year. the leader of their group got things started by saying, "go bears!!" and then proceeded to launch into a chinese-inflected karaoke version of johnny cash's "burning ring of fire," while 20-or so other folks, and two chinese dragons, danced behind him.

additional cheers of "go bears!!" were peppered throughout the song. needless to say, it was a great way to start my day.

i found a link to the chinese new year group from this morning! happiness!

go here, and then click on "Chinese New Year Celebration with Cullman Yen 01/31."

you have to wait through about 5 seconds of a black screen, and then a 15-second honda commercial, but it is worth it.
