PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA—Another celebrity has come out publicly against the dangers of rampant misinformation. The famed groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has refused to emerge from his hole to determine the remaining length of winter until Joe Rogan is canceled.
“I’ve wanted to do something about Mr. Rogan’s dangerous peddling of misinformation for some time now, but couldn't think of a good way to do it,” said the esteemed rodent while munching a stalk of celery. “Then I heard about some amateur singers named Ned Young and Joni Munchwell making waves and wondered what would happen if an actual celebrity like myself were to join the fray. Of course, my decision was galvanized when the greatest musical artist of all time—Mr. Barry Manilow himself—voiced his protest.”
After hearing the groundhog’s ultimatum, nervous representatives for Spotify, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace announced the immediate cancelation of Joe Rogan.
Mr. Rogan announced he will continue to record his podcast in his basement. Several media figures then saw their shadows, predicting six more years of the media freaking out about Joe Rogan.
Now THAT is funny!
He’s a rodent, not a meteorologist!
Yeah at the risk of getting flamed I’ve always thought that was one of the dumber traditions this country has ever thought up.
Just my opinion people. Lol

According to the History Channel, here is the origin:
“Groundhog Day has its roots in the ancient Christian tradition of Candlemas, when clergy would bless and distribute candles needed for winter. The candles represented how long and cold the winter would be. Germans expanded on this concept by selecting an animal—the hedgehog—as a means of predicting weather. Once they came to America, German settlers in Pennsylvania continued the tradition, although they switched from hedgehogs to groundhogs, which were plentiful in the Keystone State.”
Now about this six more weeks of winter thing — the first day of Spring is a little over six weeks from February 2 anyway, whether he sees his shadow or not.
He’d make a greasy stew. About as bad as a possum.
Ned Young and Joni Munchwell
Prove it! Why is it that the MSM and his home town always seek out his decision on Ground Hog Day instead of yours?
Sounds like someone here is jealous..........
f’n bee...
To me, the whole groundhog thing borders on idolatry. It’s a rodent- they destroy gardens dig huge holes in the ground, usually near foundations, but also out in the open. It’s easy to step in one and break something.
They used to wreck my garden, forget about fencing it it, they just dig under it..
Punksatawney “BANG!”
It almost seems like they are being worshipped.
Drove pretty well for a quadruped.
Groundhog is kind of greasy but also tasty.
But the turkey might have been a homosexual (gobble, gobble)
