OK I was reading the news, and this is what I came across.

Troops to Guard Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil

Reuters

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (Jan 15) - Troops will be deployed in a small Pennsylvania community in February to guard a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil, which each year attracts huge crowds of people who believe the animal can forecast the weather.

"We just never know what may pop up in these times, so we are getting prepared," said Jamie Levier, a spokesman for the state police in Punxsutawney, a rural community about 90 miles northwest of Pittsburgh made famous in a movie called "Groundhog Day" that starred Bill Murray.

A team of state police, bomb-sniffing dogs and National Guard troops will be stationed near Gobbler's Knob Feb. 2 to ward off problems at this year's Groundhog Day festivities....

this is so pointless. the poor groundhog is gonna be scared off by the dogs anyways. a groundhog outing gets more security.

I thought they implemented the troops ever since Bill Murray stole him in the movie????

Its just a ground hog, they dont need troops guarding it. This thing could die before ground hog day and they could jus replace him and we wouldnt know the difference. It think theyre over reacting just a bit.

Hey, without him we wouldn't know what the weather would be like for the next few months.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

So, if someone breeches security and offs Phil, and you can see sunlight through the bullet hole between his eyes, does that mean six more weeks of winter?

Isn't it great to see where our tax dollars are going? Give me a break here...seriously no terrorist would do anything to a groundhog...even they know its a FUCKING GROUNDHOG!! Perhaps they should put the National Gaurdsmen somewhere useful??

I also don't think that after targetting places like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, terrorists would concern themselves with a small fuckhole known as PUNXSUTAWNEY.

Or do they...? :confused:

The Taliban wouldn't want to off Phil. Hell, they'd probably even recruit him. With all that fur, who would know the difference?

The funny part, is there's always a mardi-gras type party there with alot of the students from Penn State. Should be interesting to see the security with all of the drunken kids around.

Thanks to Brokenjaw for the sigpic

Moss should have given the ball to his coaches to spike, or at least invited them onto the field to take part in the celebration, because they were the ones who made that score possible. But don't tell that to Randy, it would only take away from the glory he believes he deserves for being as great as he is. Click here for the whole article
