Groundhog Day, the day of the year where we rip a helpless, fat animal from the confines of its warm and cozy hole only to shake it about in freezing cold to see if the sun radiates off its back.
Sounds like I could be describing something entirely different, doesn’t it?
All for human entertainment we subject these useless fat animals to cameras, lights, screams and jeers from throngs of people who surround them hoping for a prediction of a shorter winter.
If you want to know if winter’s going to be shorter, go stand outside and see if your shadow is visible, works the same, no? Silly human.
Know what I’d love to see?
That stupid man dressed in a tux and top hat that gets attacked by a rabid Cujo-like gopher groundhog.
Then I would wear it in my hair.

They are also called Whistle Pigs. It’s like a new product in need of a commercial. The pig that whistles–ask for it by name!

Whenever I hear “groundhog” I think of people that work in office cube farms. I guess because both species pop up when they hear a noise?

I kind of like the rabid necklace. It’s fun to fuck with the “woodland” theme that Etsy is riddled with.
