That groundhog is dead!




Enraged Mob of Frozen Americans Kill Groundhog After False Prediction
By BC Bass


PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. -- As the Midwest braces for a series of powerful winter storms that could bring more than 18 inches of snowfall and winds strong enough to cripple travel, millions of desperate Americans turned to a fabled groundhog for an Obama-esque sign of hope that the winter will be short and bearable. But the annual Groundhog's Day event, normally an excuse for revelry and honoring the kitsch traditions of the region's European settlers, turned ugly after crowds disputed the rodent weatherman's prediction.

.....

mobs of newly disadvantaged Americans charged the groundhog and tore him apart. Some pulled scraps from the carcass to use for food. Others wrote obscenities on nearby buildings using the animal's blood. And one couple pushed the groundhog's decapitated head onto a wooden spike to parade about the crowd in effigy.

Organizers say that in the history of Groundhog's Day such violence has never been witnessed. They are planning to cancel all future events indefinitely.

Get ready a long stretch of snowy weather. We'll have a chance of snow for five of the next seven days and will see some minor accumulations. Expect 1-2" on Saturday, 1-2" on Sunday and 1-3" on Monday. Flurries are likely Tuesday and anoher acuumulating snow comes on Thursday.

They killed the wrong one! It was a stand in, just as the one I hit with my Harley was in 2008! (see pics below)

To Phil? Hell no, if it had it would have been the lead story for days now, and every network would have been running special editions speculating about the reasons for it. . .  :biggrin:

Now the other one, the one I ran over? Hell yes it did!  8)

That's something that unfortunately can't be avoided, but if someone attacked a "show" hog like that I would have been ticked. I used to work beside an abandoned golf course and the field was full of them. These hogs were huge, but I just love them. They crack me up when the run. I used to take the uncooked veggie scraps to work and dump them in the field.
