I remember this show. Used to watch it all the time when I was little. Hell, I might even have to find and re-watch a few episodes for nostalgia purposes now...
Anyway, I get the Monkey talisman for my birth date, and I choose the Dog talisman, because immortality is pretty much the one thing I want more than anything else. The Dog actually works pretty well with the Monkey, since it would allow me to just disappear and live out portions of my long life as an animal to avoid the awkward and inevitable situation of people noticing that I hadn't aged at all in the last fifty years.
