In honor of the holiday, I’m wearing my “black velvet” Groundhog’s Day T-shirt (which I paid full price for, I’ll have you know).
What are you doing to mark the occasion?
I didn’t do anything yesterday for Groundhog day, which is fairly meaningless here. But I did sing last night at a lovely mass for the feast of the Purification.
I had a sausage for lunch (it was probably beef, to be fair) and then will probably watch bits of the movie tonight, which I’m sure is on heavy rotation somewhere on cable. We’ll probably get six more weeks of “not quite summer” here regardless. Anyway, GHD is one of my least favorite ex-boss’s birthday, so I might have a drink and silently curse the weasely bastard!
Twicks, we need a pic of you in that shirt.
I have not, nor will I be celebrating this Ground Hog’s Day. However it is the holiest day of the week, being the All Father’s Own Day. It is not yet theseason for sacrifice, but I think I may dedicate nine beers to the one-eyed god of kings and king of gods.
I will continue my annual tradition of “It’s Groundhog’s Day today?!” :smack:

Shibb, you’re a funny, funny man.
I’m playing “I’ve got you Babe” over and over.
It’s Imbolc, so I’ll probably light a few candles. I, too, will watch the movie, provided it is on TV.

Six more weeks of Winter?
Punxsutawney this, you furry fuck.
I just learned this morning that we have our own hometown version of rodent weatherman - Windy City Woody. He’s a woodchuck, which according to local morning news is the same as a groundhog. Sounds like a Cecil ? to me, but I don’t have the energy to question at this point - have to hit the sack and begin hibernation.
See you when the frost thaws in April…
Make that July… :mad:
Is it a velvet Elvis Groundhog tee? Now that would be spiffy.
You know, I’m sure I’ve seen this thread before…deja vu?
slinks away
I wonder what Shibb had for lunch yesterday? I had meatloaf for supper last night. I put a pound of sausage in my meatloaf so I had my ground hog in honor of the day.

Swampy, we really need a pic of you in your Hooters[sup]TM[/sup] outfit.
It is spring.
The groundhog comes out of his hole and sees a shadow;
It is the shadow of my right-front tire.
That means six more weeks of winter…
But not for him.
Such misplaced anger…the groundhog predicts the weather. He does not control it.
We had thunder and lightning. That means six more weeks of ???
After weeks of overcast-at-best, very-rainy-at-worst weather, it’s been sunny here for the last couple of days.
Evidentially, the groundhog’s predictions have no effect in Northern California.
