“Punxsutawney Phil did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the people to believe that spring would come early,” Mike Gmoser, the prosecutor in southwestern Ohio’s Butler County, wrote in an official-looking indictment. Gmoser wrote that Punxsutawney Phil is charged with misrepresentation of spring, which constitutes a felony “against the peace and dignity of the state of Ohio.”

Still, it leaves legal scholars to ponder the age old question of law, "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood"?

Thanks Cayden, I learned something new today. Woodchuck=groundhog. Who knew? - you did, obviously. "Woodchuck Day" has a certain ring to it...

A woodchuck would chuck all the wood that a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

That's been my experience, anyway.

Tunborough,
I see that you are in fact a true scholar of woodchuck behavior and lore! Good on ye for this most appropriate reference to chuckology!

On a sidenote, our fellow contemplators of the world of (Marmota monax) and whistle enthusiasts everywhere might find some commonality with this mammal also colloquially known as a "whistle pig". Certainly those of us afflicted with severe cases of WHOAD can readily identify with the title. I know I can!

Slainte,

Is that what I am? I take full responsibility!

HEY!!!
Did you guys send this?!?!







Now I have the ingredients for a delicious, healthy dinner. They say that frozen is almost as good as fresh.

Back when my Father in-law was still living, he kept a rather large vegetable garden every year. One year, he had a woodchuck that was continually raiding his garden and it was "game on", all out war. Now, my Father in-law was a long time hunter, had a nice collection of firearms, but was not particularly good at sneaking into position to snipe the veggie stealing whistle pig.

During this same period of time, my Father in-law kept a large cruising vessel moored in Mystic and often spent weekends on his boat. Just prior to leaving for a weekend on his boat, he dumped several wheelbarrow loads of gravel into the woodchuck's burrow in an attempt to get the little bugger to move on. I found this action to be hilarious and a strange parallel to one Bill Murray in Caddy Shack. Knowing my Father in-law as a complete creature of habit, I knew that the minute he got home, he would run out to check and see if the furry tunnel rat had cleared out the gravel from his burrow. My Father in-law did exactly as predicted only to find a white flag of surrender that I had placed on top of a pole sticking up out of the burrow. The ole boy told me the minute he saw it he folded over in complete laughter and knew immediately that I was responsible.

We use to prank each other regularly and had a grand time doing so. He has been gone seven years now last month. God I miss him!

Hey Lad,
Oink - Oink, from one pig to another.

Alright, somebody had to do it. The kid's home from school today, so I had time to put something together...



Now I see some places I could tidy it up a bit. Maybe later this evening.

Lovely story! April Fool's Day is coming up. I bet you have some good memories from then.

[ytliek]

Yes, I resemble that remark



And sometimes I go whole hog.

Caroluna,

VERY COOL! Now that's a " whistle pig". The only thing that might make it a wee bit more accurate would be if you could photoshop Ytliek's head / face on to the body of that "whistle pig"!

You made my entire day with that photo! :lol

Thanks for the laughs,
Cayden
