What the...? It's Groundhog Day again!

You’re not God. This is twelve years of Catholic School talking!

We’d better get going if we’re gonna stay ahead of the weather.

I make the weather! All of this moisture coming up out of the Gulf is gonna push off to the east and hit Altoona.

Did you wanna talk about the weather or are you just making chitchat?

Chitchat.

  • It’s coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
  • Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you -know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.
  • That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here’s the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a “big blizzard thing!”
  • Yeees, they are. But you know, there’s another reason why today is especially exciting.
  • Especially cold!
  • Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody’s lips…
  • On their chapped lips…
  • On their chapped lips, right: do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?
  • Punxsutawney Phil!
  • That’s right, woodchuck-chuckers - it’s GROUNDHOG DAY!

“This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.”

Hey to Chicago folks, the beautiful neighborhood movie palace Patio Theater at Irving Park and Austin will be showing Groundhog Day this afternoon at 3:00pm, and the admission is only $2.00! I’ve seen this movie multiple times, but never on the big screen, with a crowd of people who love it too, so even though it’s all over TV and we own the DVD, I am so there.

Ned! Ryerson!

Needle-nose Ned? Ned the Head?

Ned, I would love to stay here and talk with you… but I’m not going to.

Well, what if there is no tomorrow?? There wasn’t one today.

“He could still be alive.”

BOOM

“Yeah…now…now he’s probably not.”

Don’t drive angry.

Drats. I’m on a secret mission to do something fun with my son today and I think he’s just a little too young to apreciate this movie. Maybe in a couple years.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties 'cause it’s cooooold out there today!

“They say our love won’t pay the rent…”

Too early for flapjacks?

Whoah-ho-ho-ho! Watch that first step, it’s a doozy!

I’ll give you a winter prediction: It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life.
