Not sure where else to put this, so feel free to move it if necessary...

Every year, the official groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, sees his shadow, "guaranteeing" another six weeks of winter.
Nit: of course he sees his shadow; all the news people are flashing cameras and shining bright lights on him!

That also means wintery weather until the middle of March. Gee, I predict the sun will tomorrow sometime around 6 am. (Uncanny ain't I?:))

Gee, I predict the sun will tomorrow sometime around 6 am.

Will what? Shine? Explode? Attack the planet Earth? Wave to all the nice people on Earth? Inquiring minds want to know.

OK, rise.

I typed fastly.:)

Hey, did you guys hear what HAPPENED on Groundhog Day? Apparently, Punxsutawney Phil Spector came out of his hole in the ground, saw his shadow, and shot someone!

OK, Blue, I rose like you told me to. May I sit back down now? :O

By Blue Berry on Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 12:40 pm:

The funniest part of it is it took me a minute to realize I meant "right" not "rise". I'm spell checking this. :)

Anyone watch the five minute show on PBS about astronomy they have every day?
One ep.they were talking about Jupiter and said that Groundhog Day is the same as the old
Candlemas Day and Crossquarter Day.

Is that "Star Hustler" with Jack Horkheimer? (To those who don't know about that, yes, I'm serious.)

By Scott McClenny on Saturday, March 08, 2003 - 2:53 pm:

Yes it is.It's really fascinating five minutes
to watch.:)

Ground Hog Day is my second favorite holiday. No Ground Hog's day card to buy. No screaming kids who will tell their therapist 20 years from now how they felt insecure because you didn't wait in line for hours and over pay for a ________ (fill in the blank). No hours spent in the kitchen making a "special" meal that will be devoured in 30 minutes or less so you can tackle the pots. No happy loving couples buying jewelry in ads to show you how much of a loser you are. No one says, "Cheer up, its Ground Hog day!" No lying to small children about the Great Ground Hog that burrows into the sewers and leaves presents under the Ground Hog's Day tree.

Unfortunately it doesn't get a three-day weekend. Or should I say "fortunately". If it did then some of the No's would become Yes's and I'd have to string up Ground Hog's day lights.

There is no board for "almost Holidays" like Ground Hog day. Saint Patrick's Day comes in third only because I think you should keep your $#$#%@& dye out of my beer.:)
