Punxsutawney Phil Sees His Shadow
Yahoonews.com ^ | 2/2/05 | unknown

Posted on 02/02/2005 5:10:05 AM PST by beyond the sea

About 2,000 people gathered in Punxsutawney, Pa., on Wednesday morning for the updated winter forecast from the famous groundhog.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means six more weeks of winter.

Alas! must it ever be so?

Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go,

And fight our own shadows forever?

Who even knew before 1966?

****

The ceremony in Punxsutawney was held in secret until 1966, and only Phil's prediction was revealed to the public. Since then, Phil's fearless forecast has been a national media event.

The secret cover was lifted.

YOI!

Rise and shine, campers, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today. It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly. So the big question on everybody's lips...on their chapped lips...on their chapped lips is, does Phil feel lucky? Punksatawney Phil, thats right wood chuck chuckers its GROUND HOG DAY!

LOL.........

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster and drank pina coladas. At sunset we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over and over and over...

"There is no way this winter is *ever* going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him."
