Blogging will be light today because I'm heading up to Pennsylvania for a really good practical joke.
You see, I'm going to gouge out Punxsutawney Phil's eyes with a pocketknife and then stick him back in his hole. When they drag him out to see his shadow, the crowd will see nothing but a pair of empty bloody eyesockets.
And I will have a new set of cufflinks. Not that I wear anything that requires cufflinks, but I've always wanted a pair of groundhog's eye cufflinks.
What better groundhog to blind for my fashion statement than the most famous of all?
Isn't that a cool joke? It's not like I can do it on April Fool's because that will give those Punxsutawney bastards ten months to cover up my crime and train a new groundhog to get doped up and not attack the handler.
It's what they did in 2003 when I first tried it, you know.
Don't ask about 2004 and 2005. Let's just say that the Pennsylvanian Prison System leaves a lot to be desired.
Regular blogging will resume tomorrow.

Don't be absurd. Phil isn't a groundhog. The real Phil died years ago. The one you see on TV is just an animatronic groundhog dreamed up by Disney. Punxsutawney needs the revenue that Groundhog day brings in. They are, however looking for a new handler. You get a spiffy top hat....

Amy-
The Imagineers haven't been about creativity for years. They just maintain existing attractions or copy the blueprints of past generations of engineers for new parks.
They'd CGI-animate it with Pixar instead.
