OMG! I'm on the first page. Hep me! Hep me!
Heard your groundhog has shown his shadow, six more weeks of winter. We're waiting for the rattlesnake to show his. Sun hasn't come up yet. We're already in a record for no rain. It's either 1000 days or 1000 years. Didn't catch the days or years on the radio. Probably 1000 years.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUNATIC FRINGEWill be back to tell you about the rattlesnake.

How about just shooting the rattlesnake? Makes good skins for shoes. We don't do groundhogs. We don't have any.

Hello all...
Happy Lunatic Fringe's Birthday!
It appears that economics is a recondite subject for most Americans; it is evident from the reaction to Exxon's yearly profits that many cannot grasp the concept of supply and demand.
