Good one. Maybe Gus can grease my palm today!

Ground Hog Day is idolatry

LOL!

Stupidest American Tradition Ever.

Cmon! It's great!

Punxsutawney Phil is not a God; he is only a Demi-God, like Hercules.

Stupidest American Tradition Ever.

C'mon, most American Traditions are really nothing more than excuses to get together, dress funny and drink beer. Nothing stupid about that.

Now that I think about it, though, getting up at 4 AM so you can drink beer at dawn on a freezing Pennsylvania hilltop in February is kinda stupid...

No dumber than sitting out in a blizzard, drinking beer, and watching a football game...when you could just as easily be sitting inside where it's warm with the same beer and seeing the same game on a Big-Screen TV. :-)

I've done both. Now that I'm older, I must say that I prefer the latter (inside) to the former (blizzard)....

The tradition itself isn’t stupid, but the idea of throngs of people up at 4 AM is quite perplexing to me.

It's called "wisdom"...

[wbill]

yeah, I didn’t have very much of that at 19 or 20. :-)

None of us did.

But, then, I didn't have much of it aty 30 or 40, either...

[jokyfo]

Not at all. Any reference to “good luck” or “signs” or “jinxs” or “superstitions” is in effect attributing power to something other than God. That is idolotry and blasphemy,.

[mysterio]

Don't drive angry!.

[Straight Vermonter]

You think people take the ground hog’s prediction seriously?
