Punxsutawney Phil doesn’t see his shadow
Pennsylvania's famous groundhog predicts an early spring ahead PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - A new pair of hands pulled Punxsutawney Phil from his stump this year, so it was only fitting that the groundhog offered a new prediction. Phil did not see his shadow on Friday which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter. Since 1886, Phil has seen his shadow 96 times, hasn’t seen it 14 times and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. The last time Phil failed to see his shadow was in 1999. More than 15,000 revelers milled about in a misty snow waiting for the prediction, as fireworks exploded overhead and the “Pennsylvania Polka” and other music blared in the background. Longtime handler Bill Deeley retired after more than a dozen years and was replaced Friday by Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle members John Griffiths and Ben Hughes. Each Feb. 2, thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, a town of about 6,100 people about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, to celebrate what had essentially been a German superstition. The Germans believed that if a hibernating animal cast a shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter would last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early. |

It's a big to-do here in PA. Good times. I might add, one hell of a drunken bash too. Gotta love Phil.

Your MOM is like a Tornado. She makes you fear her till she is right up on you in the SUCK ZONE and sucks you up inside and makes you feel like nothing is wrong as she twirls you around in her mouth.... She shows you more than you want to see in the CORE but you have no choice so you look anyway..... and then she gets you feeling like the world is cuming to an end then she drops you and goes after the next unwilling victim. Leaving you in her wake of swirling oral destruction wanting more.
