6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER FOR AMERICANS

Post by Marv »

The ridiculous ceremony of pulling a rat from a tree stump has determined y'all are gonna be cold for a while longer. oh well. thought about putiing this in the announcements section but can the rat really tell the weather!?
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Haha. Everyone needs to see the movie "Groundhog Day". It's Bill Murray at his best.

"This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Well, it used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to *eat* it. You're hypocrites, all of you!"

"This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather."

"There is no way this winter is *ever* going to end as long as that groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any way out of it. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him."

Best. Movie. Ever.

Oh, and it's been warm as hell here all winter, so I don't know what that groundhog was smoking.-jay

All my beautiful snow is gone and the only weather we have is wind. Sucks.

Well, for once the rodent is somewhat correct. The weather folks are predicting a February that's colder than normal throughout most of the East and Northeast. In South and Midwest it'll be mostly average, and in the West it'll be above average. If you live on the East Coast, you'd better bundle up, 'cause we're in for it.

Well, it doesn't matter at all whether the "rat" sees his shadow or not for us. Here on the Mountain, winter lasts until mid June.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

We won't have this problem next year, because I'm gonna kill that little $*(@!*#!

Because I'm an American & I'm dangerous & cruelty to animals is usually just a fine anyway.

I don't know what you all are talking about.

It's cold as hell over here. We had a 16 last night and a 39 today.

I am freezing my ass off!




Groundhog's Day does rock though.

Yes, truly great movie!

This has been the best winter of my adult life. I have not touched a snow shovel! :D :D :D We had our biggest snowfall last night. Maybe an inch. Winter can stay as long as it wants when it's like this!!
