groundhog's day

Is it the day belonging to the groundhog, thus called Groundhog's day? Or is it a day that happens to be named near to an event, thus called Groundhog day.

I don't know and the battery on my computer is running out, but the short version is that this is the most delightful holiday because it really isn't one. In college we had marshmallow fights on Groundhog's Day. I don't know why. Maybe it's also Dada day. It doesn't matter!

But check out these sites, if you so choose, and you may become delighted by the glories of groundhogation and have a marshmallowy fight of your own!

Groundhog.org Now that's a sexy set of teeth.

Groundhogstuff.com I highly recommend the furrier choices. Plush is best on occassions such as these.

Blame it on the Celts. It's always the damned Celts, isn't it? Solstice this and festival that. Didn't they do anything else? (Then again, how could they have? It was too dark and cold. I think. I think they had a festival regarding this kind of thing...)

Enjoy your happy, furry day. Chuck a marshmallow at someone's head, please.
