It’s Groundhog’s Day again? Damn, I’m still stuck.

It’s deja vu all over again.

Sausage for dinner.

Ground hog meat or groundhog meat?

Today Punxsutawney Phil announced that there will be an early spring. If Global Warming comes to pass will he be out of job because spring will just keep coming earlier?

Excuse me, where is everyone going?
To Gobbler’s Knob. :eek: It’s Groundhog Day.

Do you ever have deja vu, Mrs. Lancaster?
I don’t think so, but I could check with the kitchen.

Have you ever had deja-vu?
Didn’t you just ask me that?

When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.

Wiarton Willie is Canada’s badass groundhog. I’m pretty sure he could kick Punxsutawney Phil’s butt. I’m serious, don’t piss him off. He’s dangerous.

He agrees on the early spring, though. Yay!

I have family up in the Bruce [Peninsula], where Wiarton Willie makes his badass home. so I’ve been by there quite a bit.

Willie actually lives in a modern and stylish condo on the waterfront.

I’m serious. It’s a small brick, glass, and concrete building designed to match nearby town buildings in style. It was built as a donation from the town council or business inprovement association or someone, and it’s next to the library and across from the waterfront park.

Yay!!! I totally didn’t even realize this until right this instant!

runs off to the movie store for annual Bill Murray holiday viewing…

I brought a deep-dish brownie pie to work for Groundhog Day!

(Well, to be honest - it just happened to be Groundhog Day on the day I was going to bake).

Susan

anyone up for groundhog burgers & fries? :smiley:

Today is also Cathy’s 30th birthday. Happy birthday Cathy!

(not Cathy the cartoon, Cathy my friend, who’s birthday is on Groundhog’s Day)

If I could stand any further controversy at this stage of a precarious posting career, I’d duplicate the OP just to see the message ‘Sorry, this has already been done’.

Dexter? Dexter? Oh, now don’t act like you don’t remember me, because I sure as heckfire remember you! We posted in the same thread in 2004!

I’ll bet you haven’t taken out a dollar’s worth of insurance against getting banned. Am I right, or am I right, or am I right?

Oh, and watch out for the next post. It’s a doozy!

…Then put your little hand in mine,
There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb…
Okay, campers, rise and shine!
Don’t forget your booties because it’s cold out there today!

It’s cold out there every day.

That’s why that movie was repeating endlessly on cable this afternoon…
