Punxsutawney Phil keeps 'escaping’ from his den

<snip>
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The world’s most famous groundhog keeps trying to escape from his home, but he hasn’t gotten very far.

The animal who emerges to check for his shadow each year of Feb. 2 – Groundhog Day – is kept most of the year at the Punxsutawney Library, where he stays in a man-made den.

But library workers say the groundhog has gotten out of the structure three times in the past two weeks.

Somehow, the groundhog climbs into the library’s ceiling and travels about 50 feet before dropping into some library offices.

The good citizens of Punxsutawney go to the trouble of building him a nice den and what does the ungrateful little bastard do?

:grr:


Screw you, Phil.

[Richardo]

1. I *KNEW* it was you just from the subject line

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ;-)






:hug: :hi: :pals:

[Bunny]

2. It was my lifelong love affair with all things rodential that tipped you off, wasn't it?

:eyes:




:hi: sweets!

[Richardo]

3. Your usual term of endearment for them IS unique

:hi: babe!

[Call Me Wesley]

4. So, it's really Spring for a long time,

but the Puns, Punxt, Punxsutawney Library force will not admit it? It's all a hoax to keep us silent and enjoy the snow and rain? Those bastards!

FREE PHIL! SPRINGTIME FOREVER!

[tigereye]

8. hey, CMW!

How are ya?

[Call Me Wesley]

9. Hey, tigereye!

We're fine here and Spring seems to settle in for real. :hug:

[tigereye]

10. yes, it was lovely here, too, and then it snowed yesterday!

:cry:


But it's melted now and the flowers still look ok - I was worried that the tulips would croak. Hope you guys have a lovely Easter!

[Call Me Wesley]

14. Looking forward to a rainy Easter ...

Won't stop the tourist to invade these parts in shorts and flip-flops, though. :rofl:

Tulips are pretty sturdy. Ours just popped open.

[tigereye]

20. I planted a bunch more in the fall and I've seen a few emerge...

A lot of them are the early ones...

[Bunny]

11. Aw , it's a hoax alright. The truth shall set you free.

Is there a Switzerland Phil? :shrug:

:hi: CMW!

[Call Me Wesley]

16. No Switzerland Phil,

we rely on meteorologist science. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP4zaMvV__4

:hi:

[Bunny]

18. Oh. What is this "science" that you speak of?

;)

[Call Me Wesley]

19. It's godless I fear ...

Based on empiric data 'n stuff. Well, except for meteorology. That's still 'guessing.' ;)

[Mugu]

5. Whenever the subject of rodents comes up,

this is the photo that I whup out.

Stay out of my kitchen or else.

[Bunny]

12. I got a good laugh from this one:

[Mugu]

17. That is cute. n/t

[CreekDog]

6. He wants to live in Virginia and I know the perfect home for him!

:evilgrin:

[Bunny]

13. Take him. Come on up, I'll meet you in Altoona and we'll go to Punxsy and bust him out of the joint

:hi:

[tigereye]

7. he feels the call of nature - little of which will occur in the library!

well, not for groundhogs, anyway! :rofl:

[Bunny]

15. So true. Is keeping a groundhog in solitary confinement animal abuse?

:D

:hi: How about this ridiculous snow????

[tigereye]

21. hmm, I'm surprised PETA hasn't spirited him away!

Yeah, the weather has sucked the last day or so. At least the snow melted. :crazy: I just want it to be warm, is that so wrong?


Also my kid was off for break at the end of March (the weather was actually nice then) and now he's off for Easter. I swear the kids never go to school! :rofl:
