No no! You have to ring in the new year with a herring in one hand and a dollar in the other! Green beer doesn't hurt your luck either. :grin:

Ginger,

In order to have a happy New Year, you must do more than possess a herring.  "You must chop down the largest tree in the forest with... A HERRING!"

"NEE!"

Hope you recognize that one.

No, sorry, ya' lost me. Did you, perhaps, mean to say "NEEP!"?

This "Nee" stuff has to be from Monty Python's Holy Grail, correct?  :grin:
