In this day and age of advanced technological achievements and dreams that span the globe and our known universe, Groundhog Day is, by far, the stupidest "holiday" ever.

 

But....I love it. :) Thousands of people descending on a small PA town to get sloppy drunk and watch a groundhog make a very inaccurate prediction of the weather...if he's aware of what he's doing at all!!! :lol:

 

Having gone to college in PA, I remember fraternity brothers skipping classes to go to Punxsutawney to party. They swore it was a blast, though I never went. I just think something like this still going on is a riot.

I lived not to far from there when I was a kid. My Grandparents still live about 15-20 miles away. If you lived around there you would understand why they make a big deal out of it... There isn't shit else to do :lol:. Srsly, the first week of hunting season the schools are out.

 

I remember it as a kid and even though there is no logic behind it, it's a fun tradition to keep going with. Especially in this day and age, where if something isn't profitable or if it cost the city too much money the do away with it.

I went to Utica High School, and we didn't have school the first Monday of deer season.

 

Oh and PA can keep its 6 more weeks of winter, Buckeye Chuck didn't see his shadow, so we are getting an early spring here.
