ok so today the entire U.S. looks to a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil to see if ti's going to stay winter or if srping is on its way (apparently we have alot of time on our hands) any way..........but what i find myself asking is why? why in god's name is this even recognized ...........dont get me wrong its kind of funny, in a i have nothing better to do so why not bother a groundhog, kind of way..............does this not make sense to anyone else? and why, if some can tell me why we do this you will be my personal jesus for the day..............


p.s. did i mention that the guy in chagre of this claims that the groundhog speaks to him.........any other time of year he would get put in the love me coat (straight jacket) but on Feb 2nd its perfectly sane.........

While "why in god's name is this even recognized" is very funny to me, I'll carry on....!

Does being a "personal jesus for the day" mean you'll nail someone to a cross?

Um...groundhog's day is a fun tradition. Isn't that enough of a reason? Besides, groundhogs are KEEEEEUTE!

Although aardvarks are cuter.
