The 2nd of February. Wow. Ever wonder what makes
it so special? Dare to imagine a world where the groundhog doesn't
take the center stage in our lives on this most special of days. Now wouldn't Feb.
2 be just a little less amazing?

Ten
Fun Ways to Celebrate Groundhog Day
1. Make an
egg salad casserole shaped like a groundhog.
2. Boil a
ground hog and serve it with cabbage.
3. Don’t
just buy his line. Confront the
groundhog with the paradox of its methodology: “Let me see if I get
this – so you’re saying, if it's a nice, bright sunny day, and you see your shadow,
it means we have six more
weeks of winter weather coming? Could you
explain that once more please.”
4. Get a
groundhog drunk and make it dance till it pukes.
5. Play a
game of "see your shadow" with a loved one. Requires a comfortable
underground burrow.
6. Require
the groundhog to explain exactly why it thinks the difference between it and a
naked mole rat is a meaningful one, rather than mere nuance.
7. Take a
groundhog out to 'Vegas and lay some heavy weather bets.
8. Dress a
groundhog in lingerie.
9. Invite a
groundhog out to an elegant seven-course meal at a fine French bistro and then
stiff it for the bill.
10. Take the
groundhog out to see the Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day again and
again.
