are you ok? I didn't realize everything in life had to be so serious, I guess fun isn't allowed anymore. you've never done a dumb or silly thing in life? that sounds boring tbh

Fuck you, you heretical meteorology rat.

I am Phillip MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1818 in the village of Punxsutawney along the shores of the Mahoning Creek. I am immortal.

There can be only one famous groundhog in Pennsylvania.

Two immortal groundhogs? In this one Pennsylvania town? Inconceivable!

I think I recall a day or two where it got down to the low 20's. Does that count?

Damn it, not six more weeks of jeans and a light jacket

I'm shocked a government run on greed and dark age fairy tales could allow something like this to happen.

So am I understanding this correctly? They want people to pay the wrong bill which is essentially a free fucking loan to them and then they pay us back later? My bill is literally double what is normally is.

It's ok, she'll just get sent to grandpa's farm and have a nice retirement!

I’ve mentioned it elsewhere today, but according to the Groundhog Day folks, whenever the weather and Phil don’t agree, it isn’t Phil that’s wrong that year, it’s the weather that’s wrong.

This isn’t a hill to die on, it’s a symptom of a larger ill.

Fuck you phil

You picked a strange hill to die on. If it was Christmas maybe you would have a point but with this being PA half the people in that crowd are likely hung over. The other half is still drunk.

Whats fun about it?

I look at it this way, the dumbing down of America has been happening for a long fucking time and one of the ways that has happened is by stripping meaning from the meaningful and replacing it with vapid consumer bullshit. The fall of society is precisely because of holidays like this and the mechanisms which support them.

It’s probably cheaper to abandon the wells and eventually, possibly paying the fine than it is to properly remove and correct the land. I’m sure it’s a numbers game at its core.

It’s so cold I saw a politician with his hands in his own pockets

There can be only one.

He says 6 weeks of winter, but how many weeks of false springs and late frosts?

it's a conspiracy with PPL and Penndot

Has winter even started yet?

I look at this this way, just because I’m a wet blanket I try not to shit on others for having fun.

How surprising /s
