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.

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

Reminds me of the Steven Wright bit/at the 24 hour convenience store:

Goes to the 24 hour convenience store.... sees the guy closing up.... says to him, what's up, it say's you're open 24 hours? The guy says, Not In A Row.

You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. 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.

This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Well, it used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to *eat* it. You're hypocrites, all of you!

"Yes, yes, let us gather around the little rodent and ask him to tell us what to do with our lives. What a great idea, yes. Maybe afterward you can take a look in your backyard and see what my poop is telling you."

The only reason to even have "Groundhog Day" is to use it as an excuse to have a house party in the middle of winter to break up the doldrums.

How can he see any shadow with all those camera lights on him? Which shadow does he look at? How does one tell??? Winter never really even hit here in Oregon. Our Sno-pak is complete crap this year!
