Well the prediction is in!!!!!!!!!!!

Here ye! Here ye! Punxsutawney Phil has chirped — another six weeks
of winter will be!

As the Groundhog Day Phil-osophy goes, if the groundhog sees his
shadow on the ground, the United States can expect six more weeks of
winter all around. If he decides to keep his head held high, then an
early spring will apply.

Around 7:25 a.m. on Wednesday, Phil saw his shadow and whispered the
fate of our nation’s winter in “groundhogese" to his Inner Circle
at Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania. Over the course of his
meteorological career, the marmot predicted an extended winter around
85 percent of the time.

Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam,

Here ye! Here ye! Punxsutawney Phil has chirped — another six weeks
of winter will be!

Or as the meme last year then noted "The groundhog said there'd be
6 more weeks of winter. So, I ate him". <G>

I understand that Staten Island Chuck did NOT see his shadow, so that
means an early spring.

I did not hear what General Beauregard Lee (in his antebellum mansion,
no less) in Atlanta, prognosticated.

I did hear of one groundhog named Mel...who was so terrified by what
he saw, that he fell over dead!!

As Bill Murray said in the movie "A thousand people freezing their
butts off, to look at a rodent. <G>

If his seeing his shadowcause 6 more weeks of winter, rather than the 6 weeks between Feb 2nd & Spring (Mar. 20) then let's prevent him seeing anything; Nurse, the hot poiker, please, & orderly,. his his little face steady for me.

Oh, kids, don't worry, there's plenty more vermin where this one came from...

Only for those living there!

Yup, I consider just that stupid.

Spring is near 6 weeks from Feb 2nd, no matter what a crowd favourite rat has to say otherwise. . .

My friend wanted to cosplay for Groundhog's Day. I told him to gopher it.

Q: How do you make a groundhog?
A: Use a meat grinder, same as for ground rabbit

If he was ground dog, he was playing with his weiner. :P

He's ALWAYS going to see his shadow, for the TV camera lights...whether
the sun is visible or not.

Spring is near 6 weeks from Feb 2nd, no matter what a crowd favourite
rat has to say otherwise. . .

And, meteorological spring is ALWAYS on March 1.

My friend wanted to cosplay for Groundhog's Day. I told him to gopher
it.

It reminds me of a Looney Tunes cartoon, where Porky Pig has his dog
named Mandrake (what a name for a dog) hunting groundhogs. The dog comes
upon Grover Groundhog, and when the dog realizes who just startled him,
he says "You're a Groundhog"...to which, the Groundhog hands him a dollar
bill, and says "That gets you one dollar. Would you care to try for two??"
<G>.

What is that -- spring is an astronomically defined event (beginning on the vernal equinox)

Why March 1?

Customer: This coffee tastes like mud.
Waiter: Well, it was ground this morning.

Classic. I've used a variation of that. ("If your coffee tastes like mud, it's because it was just ground after you ordered it")

My face diner trick is I'm abnle to balance a teaspoon in a coffee mug without putting sugaer orsalt at thew bottom -- it loks like the spoon is sticking straight up from the middle of the coffee; I call the waitress over & say, "Finally, you're making the coffee strong enough fort he morning shift!"

Occasaionally one has to stir to see if there's a pile of saugar at the bottom.

Q: Why did the coffee file a police report? A: It got mugged.

My barista didnÆt filter my coffee right. I issued her a restraining order.

Q: Why did the hipster burn his lips on coffee? A: He drank it before it was cool!

And, meteorological spring is ALWAYS on March 1.

What is that -- spring is an astronomically defined event (beginning on the vernal equinox)

Why March 1?

Meteorologically, the first of the month for the seasons is a "constant". With astronomical seasons, it varies between the 20th, 21st, and 22nd.
But, the season months are still the same...spring starts in March, summer starts in June...autumn (or fall, if you prefer) starts in September, and winter starts in December. Meteorologically, it's also better in recording weather data.

Classic. I've used a variation of that. ("If your coffee tastes like
mud, it's because it was just ground after you ordered it")

I never acquired a taste for coffee...and since giving up caffeine (it
set my heart rate racing), I rarely drink tea anymore. I think there is
such a thing as decaffineated (sp?) tea (there is for coffee).

Not sure which is worse...the sugar or artificial sweetners.

Some people can't start their day without coffee and donuts. Just ask
the church folks on Sunday morning. :P

My barista didn't filter my coffee right. I issued her a restraining order.

Got to be thicker than toilet paper. :P

Q: Why did the hipster burn his lips on coffee? A: He drank it before

If he was blonde (blonde males do exist), you'd think he burned his lips
on the tailpipe trying to start his car. :P

They were the two who ate plenty of baked beans for plenty of poo-pulsion
for their Christmas Eve runs. :P

Yup, you can gert decaf pekoe or Earl Gray, or just drink tisane (clear herbal teas--most are non-caffeinated naturally; with green teas you got to check, as ost are non caffeine, but the expensive type the Japanese use for ceremonies has 6X the caffeine as a cup of coffee!

What's this fly doing in my soup?? Looks like the backstroke to me. <G>

Well, I still expect a partial refund for what he drank!

Not sure which is worse...the sugar or artificial sweetners.

Sugar isbn't BASD, it's just not overly good (7 calories for a tsp isn't going to kill you or make you get fat)

They use the same ingredients as in Nutrasweet to facilitate brainwashing into cults. I'll stick to the sugar in general. I prefer a dark brown to give a hint of rum flavour to my coffee.

God made sugar; man made Aspartame -- Whom do YOU trust?

Some people can't start their day without coffee and donuts. Just ask
the church folks on Sunday morning. :P

Some ministers encourage parishinoers to nbring their coffee in a travel mug & enjoy during the service, if that'll help them come more regularly & on time.

Most of us would rush the coffee urn in the meeting room after services, though. (not me -- the urn'd keep my coffee hot as I loaded up my plate with desserts/pastries!)

George,

if you shake it more than twice, you're playing with it. :P
It's MINE, & I'll wash it as fast & thoroughly as I want!

And in the cold, you need a microscope and tweezers to find it. <G>

Speaking for yourself, I guess. . .

Then there was the guy who could only find it by wearuing a jeweler's loupe, shaking pepper down there & grabbing the pubic hair that moved.

Better not be like bacteria...peeing and pooping in the yogurt. I guess
I'm trying to kill my appetite...as I haven't eaten all day. :P

How do they know when yoghurt goes bad? it's rotted milk to begin with!

My favourite urine to drink is the bacterium's that eats sugar & pees out alcohol. . .

Sugar isn't BASD, it's just not overly good (7 calories for a tsp
isn't going to kill you or make you get fat)

Is sugar bad if you're diabetic?? I know folks who are hypoglycemic
(sp?), they have to take peanut butter crackers if their blood sugar
gets too low. There is a new deal now (prescription required) where you
wear this patch on your body, and with this bluetooth app for your smartphone, you can get your blood sugar and A1C readings without doing
the prick of your finger. It saves a ton of money on lancets as well as alcohol swabs.

Well, for diabetes, the rules change, but for the rest of the world, it's demonized just so a few billionaires can keep adding to their already overfilled coffers.

QWK Mail, I haven't had a chance to eat. So, after I finish this REP

I aim for:
1/3 my day's food/calories for breakfast. 3/8 for lunch
1/8 for supper or an evening snack

Peanut: Alright. I admit Jeff does not abuse drugs. He's an alcoholic.

It's amazing what he can get away with.

Jeff's first big show was called "Arguing With Myself" -- sys it all, really!

He has quite the imaginatoin to create such memorable & consistent characters - - I don't consider all to be winners -- I'm not fond of the mincing superhero.

On to the ventricyulars. . .

I met a ventriloquist at a bar who told me I was attractive. I wasn't sure if it was her or the beer talking.

I'm a pretty good ventriloquist.
Even if I say so myself.

[Remember the "Unknown Comic" in the paper bag? I could pull off an Unknown Ventriloquist act, I'm sure.]

My uncle was a ventriloquist dummy. He died drinking furniture polish. It was a slow death but a beautiful finish.

Yup, they've always been using theuir paid for politicians to maximize profit, like when they got Viagra approved, they gave the Sens on the FDA approva;s committee heads-up; every one invested $50M or more in Pfizer then approved it
-- 2 days later, they sold their stock for 500% profit or more!
