The RAT Predicted An Early Spring
I just hate the whole idea behind Groundhog day. I know it's a tradition but you don't get the day off school or work and this over sized rodent is NEVER happy when they YANK him out of his burrow and no one ever checks to let us know if he was RIGHT in his bullshit prediction 8 weeks later.
I think he should be made into a stew if he is wrong and then another rodent steps up to the mike. You can see as a child I was never happy on February 2nd. I once made a group of fellow grade 3ers cry with my disgust for this tradition.

Terminator Groundhog's day... I'd watch that.
Only if the Terminator found a new creative way toI just hate the whole idea behind Groundhog day.

Don't be so sour, my boreal friend.
The Groundhog Day is just a pretext to have some fun. And no rats are really damaged.
Wait until I get worked about the fun that is 'Valentine's Day' especially since I can't have those awesome cherry-filed chocolates.
If you go there, I went for a funeral, they have a big glass front cage. With three or four "Phils" attached to town hall across the square from the hole in the park you see on tv. Took a minute to get that the others are spare "Phils" should the nasty little rat take a dirt nap on Feb. 1st.
See, that is what annoys me - if you need several PHIL rodents to create the magic, then your display HAS no magic. Why not just have a guy with a sock puppet behind the bush. It's just so stupid. I am sure the cherry pie in that town is good and lord knows I would drive out of my way for some good cherry pie but COME ON PEOPLE. Plus any EVENT that takes place in under a minute is not an actual EVENT. They pull the rat out of his hole and just declare what he saw. WTF? Actually having a light on him to see if he notices that it makes a shadow must be to difficult a thing to set up every year. STUPID!
You must really be torn with this my friend. They are doing something stupid but doing it in tails and top hats. I might have seen a walking stick in there too.
You have no idea. It just adds to my annoyance and it's more proof that the world is set up just to annoy me personally. I don't even watch the footage because if I see a monocle my head will explode.
