Groundhog Day (Rodents predict the future, why not they'll be the only ones in it)
Physical State: sleepy
Mental State: crunchy
Music: Refridgerator (not the band, the appliance)
Fashion sense: white shirt and blue sweats
Ok so its groundhog day and the story goes if the groundhog sees his shadow that means there's 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see it then that means there's an early spring. Seems that the news is in that he saw it so that means we have another month and half of coldness (lovely). But that's in Pennsylvania so Puxatawny Phil don't know Canada anyway. Wiarton Willie did not see his shadow so that means an Early Spring for Canada. See what I mean, doesn't matter. I think this thing started as way for people to have another excuse to drink and make fun of hibernating rodents at the same time (hey celebrations of any kind no matter how bizarre were better than watching tv which didn't exist then so you had to make something up). People should know by now that rodents can't predict the future but they sure can make it hell. How would you like someone to wake you up on a Sunday morning because their meteorologists were too lame to do their job.
