"This year, Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address fall in the
same week. As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic
juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a
creature of little intelligence for prognostication, and the other
involves a groundhog."

I saw it...Pres. Bush poked his head out and saw his dark shadow Cheney and we all cheered because we have only 20 more months of the dark time. But I do want to give a "shout out" to Bush because he's been working very hard (while on the treadmill) and he pronounced nuclear correctly, that's when he got the most applause...both sides got off their chamber pots and stood!
groundhogs is tasty.
I'm soooo curious about comments deleted by the blog administrator. If simeone emiled them to me I wouldn't tell anyone, I swear.
Who is the blog administrator? By the way, we just found out that we did not get any of our overseas bids. We are very bummed out and a little disillusioned. I blame Bush- the little rodent. Anyway, we will most likely be in DC this summer (where we can't even afford a one room shack) although we will also bid on assignments in Minneapolis (our first choice) and New Hampshire.
Well, I'm sorry. Does that mean you'll have to go back out after a two year shift?
I would be thrilled if you ended up in Mpls or DC. My boss's husband works at University of MD, and they found affordable housing in this little area called Hyattsville. Kind of an up and coming artsy area. Check it out if that's where you end up.

hey em,
you might want to have Nance get you on her mom's prayer chain to get to mnpls. she's got scary powers.
Em, it's because Dick Cheney can read your mind. Anyway, I hope you guys can get to Mpls. but I've always wanted to visit D.C. so if you end up there we promise to invade you for several days.

The Groundhog saw it's shadow . Bush didn't though.
Who's this, "Tom," guy?
Calm Down, TTT!! What are you gonna do, hit me? Swing my cat by its tail to impress the Mergen twins?
It's Monica. Not my younger sister who I'm constantly jealous of for all her beauty and intelligence.
I knew it was you! ~ha, ha.
Joe J: beware the fury that is The Hoff.
It is not Monica. You can tell by the lack of typo's and poor english.
oop's, I meant good english.
This would be much more interesting if people just posted good things about Joe 3. That's what I think. That's my thought, the way I'm leanin', kinda the direction I'm goin', headed that way, sorta, you know, kinda thinkin' like that.
Holy cow! He's alive!
I thought it was Ed that could belch the alphabet. Joe 3 too?
You bet I'm alive and so's my microwave. It's super clean inside and out high wattage low emmissions powerful revolving plate and pretty pissed off. Just kicked the crap out of some pussy set it and forget it rotisserie so you all better be nice to me or my relentless microwave will avenge me.
I yield only to Josh provided he can belch the Greek alphabet.
My Foreman grill would like to take on your microwave but I think the grill has delusions of grandeur not to mention significant tax problems. However, I've never seen an appliance squeeze the life out of a burger the way that baby can.
Also, I can whine the Greek alphabet.
Newsflash: Western Union has stopped sending telegrams. I'm sad. I always wanted to get one.
I have been training my microwave for the curcuit for a while now. It is 5-0 in pactice bouts with an automatic can opener, a toaster oven, a blender, a Korean dishwasher and (most impressively) a side by side refigerator.
I just don't think that it has what it takes though. I don't want to tell it this, but I have been secretly paying the other appliances to take dives in order to build up the micro's confidence.
My microwave vs. Cathy's grill. Groundhog cooking contest. Cletus is judge. Neutral site-Council Bluffs (about as neutral/vanilla/bland as you can get). Loser's owner has to eat the results. No ringers (Tom can't help someone cause he's a chef, Emily, Pete, Jim can't help cause they live in places where people actually eat groundhog) no pre-made spicing (Monica would just go looking for a box of groundhog helper) and my microwave gets to wear a mask. EL VENGE!!!
I thought that, "I," was wierd!
You, "Straubs," amaze me...everytime.
Monica..did you catch that groundhog helper thing? How 'bout grounghog loosemeats? And, I want to meetus this Cletus before my vote is in on Judge of the Grounghog Cookoff.
Oooohh, I spelled groudhg rong!
i'll take y'all on. i gots me a family recipe for groundhog made in a pressure cooker with a half a jug of corn whiskey and hog jowls handed down to me by my sister, Aunt Elly Lee.
Hey,I must protest the aspersions cast upon my hometown. Counciltucky, maybe. Home of the Passionate Pit Bull Defenders, certainly. But vanilla? I'm slapping your face with my glove, you Algonian! (Algona - hotbed of racial, social and economic diversity)
Did you guys say you need ground dog? Because i have a seventy pound dog here I'd gladly donate to the cause. We can do the deed on Joe's kitchen floor. Chuck Behr would love it.
Joe I saw you remark and I chose to ignore it. I made chicken helper the other night and the kids loved it.
Monica
Cletus may have to recuse himself as judge if he is who I think he is, a son-in-law who's in love with his pressure cooker. (And didn't you cook some squirrel in there, for real?) I say industrial-weight and/or non-electric appliances belong in another class. This is the world middleweight groundhog-cooking appliance bout we got going here. How come the guy who holds up Punxatawney Phil always looks just like that guy in the movie? And when do I get an answer to the brain cloud question?
Cathy,
it's joe vs the volcano
Is that the brain cloud movie or the name of this groundhog-cooking contest?
that's the movie. i'm not sure what the name of this cookoff should be. the Straub Groundhog Jamboree and Bakesale?
I bet you all $50 that groundhog tastes just like sqirrel.
Which tastes like chicken.
Has anyone put groundhog is chile? Just wondering...I'm in a realtor chile cookoff and I want to do sumthin different...hmmm.
Maybe I'll just add dirt! heehee
Mary - make buffalo chile. Easy to find and hearty-tasting. One time Braden was in my bed with me and we were pretending to be fairies and she looked like a baby angel with her hair all messed up talking in her soft little voice and we were talking about shooting bows and arrows and she said, "...and then I would shoot us a nice yummy deer..."
I love Braden stories!
