Groundhogs day is the next holiday. Why should a groundhog get its own day? I think there should be a horse day. Because horses are more important then a groundhog. If think about it. Horses help you in travel, they help farmers in digging crops. Horses even die in battle. And yet we have a holiday for a silly groundhog.

Yeah, but do horses predict that winter will end six weeks later just by looking at their shadows?

Anyway, I like Groundhogs Day. My church has an annual event for it. This year will be its 30th.

heh, i think it's a good holiday because i like holidays.

they prolly do have a 'horse awareness week' or something. but yeah.. it's groundhog day cus of the shadow thing and the ending of winter or whatever.

apparantly it sort of came to frution in your own state Kitty ^__^

groundhogs day gives me an Uber rash.

Yep and lets not forget the really over played groundhogs day movie. The one with Bill Murry. Every year on like 5 channels it runs back to back.

I live no where near where the groundhogs show. Thats like 2 hours from my home. But yeah.
Honestly I can't remember the last time he did not see his shadow.

Wintereenmas is better...

My question. Who CARES?

I don't always agree with you on most things. But yeah your right who cares. If we get more snow we do. If we don't we don't. And you know what.. Who keeps track? I don't know anyone who ever called Mr. Groundhog a lier. I don't think anyone really cared that much to remember.

Groundhog's day is now usually just to entertain children.

So then why do so many adults watch it?

To make it believable to children. Like Christmas. The Air Force puts lots of money in the NORAD thing or whatever on Christmas Eve. Kids believe in Santa Clause and stuff like that helps. Kids need to be kids for as long as they can, and I'm sure a lot of parents see it that way, too. That's why they get involved with such things. Of course some people are just dumb anyway.

Well it did spawn a pretty good movie with Bill Murray. Other than that it is a pretty dumb holiday (which the movie pokes fun at).

Good point. Yes, Bill Murray was poking fun..

Sigh.. But why a day for groundhogs? Why not a "post it" day. The day when they invented the "post it" Or computer day or TV day?

And why do we only have Washington and Lincoln's Birthdays? I know that Ben Franklin did lots of cool
stuff and hes on the 100 dollar bill. And yet. No holiday for him.

You need a job so you don't ponder the many insignificant things in the world.

What are you trying to say about me here?

Good god, people... why must people get offended by what I say?

If I only knew how to help you on that one KA.. You would be as sweet as pie.

lol, well KA... I haven't found you offencive yet. Actually, everything you've said a concur quite well.

Yes, he made some really good points.

It was a joke KA. I thought it would be funny, but I suppose my joking skills suck.
