2 February
Happy Groundhog day!
Six more weeks of winter!
ADDENDUM the First:
Announcer on WDUQ (Pittsburgh public radio) just said “Puxatony rodent said six more weeks of winter.”
I love WDUQ.

Below zero wind chills here, with snow.
Six more weeks of winter? Bah, humbug!

Georgia’s groundhog, Gen. Beauregard Lee, has failed to see his shadow, predicting an early spring.
and tomorrow we may get snow here in Atlanta. go figure.

Not a bad prediction, considering there is 7 weeks of winter by the calendar. Stoopid rodents….Wiarton Willie (the Ontario groundhog) also saw his shadow.
We had a heat wave yesterday, it was above freezing for the first time in almost 2 months. Today? back down to -11.

What happens if a groundhog sees another groundhog’s shadow?
Is that like crossing the beams, or something?

Groundhog love… (sung to the tune of “Muskrat love” of course!)

What happens if a groundhog sees another groundhog’s shadow?
Kung fu fighting.

I’m counting on 8 more weeks of winter. Just sayin’
PS – I’ve been a donor to WDUQ. I was in Pittsburgh for a conference during the fund drive, so I called up and donated $50 since I would be listening to it all week. I still stuff in the mail from them!

They’ve got several web streams: one live and one all jazz. The live stream is what I listen to at work.

I think every groundhog who sees his shadow should be stewed for the attending dignitaries. What do they do in Florida? Pull a croc out of the swamp and announce six more weeks of sweltering shirt drenching humidity! And then run.

“What do they do in Florida? Pull a croc out of the swamp and announce six more weeks of sweltering shirt drenching humidity! And then run.”
Actually, we use the Florida alligator, but the rest of your explaination sounds correct.

You’ll have to forgive him Gina, he comes from Our Great Enemy to the North. Subtropics are foreign to him. :)
(Hey KIM! Teach your husband the difference between alligators and crocodiles, will you?)

Bow to your great northern overlords! We will reassign nomenclatures of all your wildlife as part of our grand plan to confuse the locals and throw them off their game.
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Confuse the locals?
We’ll throw bubblers and po-boys and pawpaws at you till you don’t know which end is up!
Then we’ll feed you to the alligators. :)

Don’t you DARE send anything with gravy down my way!
February 3rd, 2009 at 11:32 pm
I like gravy.
