7. "This is pitiful."
"A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Well, it used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You're hypocrites. ...all of you!" Phil Connors - "Groundhog Day"

8. This is pitiful. They used to measure long shadows
and carefully determine if it was a leap year or not, and winter ended if the year ended, if the shadow was long enough.

This is pitiful, how the calendar is all messed up, and noone is measuring anything, everyone just trusting the government on when the year begins ... :rofl:

13. Both Punxy Phil and Octoraro Orphie (here in Lancater County, PA) saw their freaking shadows.
Goddamn groundhogs.

Orphie, by the way, is a stuffed groundhog. He didn't see jack shit, but his handlers always tell us he did.
