Whoa, Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early Spring? Sweet.

Too bad it's STILL freezing outside.

Lousy groundhogs.

Those snooty, hairy nosed, short-sighted, ground dwelling pricks, declare a crusade on them I say!

Hrmm, wait a minute, short-sighted... no wonder they can never find their own damn shadow.

Why would they be looking for it??

Because that's the entire point of Groundhog Day.

"In traditional weather lore, if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end"

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_day

Geez GAMER, haven't you ever seen the shitty annoying as all hell Bill Murray movie about it?

lol. well its -11, and iunno the windchill here.. its freezing and theres a shit whack of snow down. btw, the weather in newfoundland is very unpredictable... one summer we had ice pellets while it being 20 degrees. we have snow storms that dont be predicted. I think last year they said we were suppose to be getting 5cm of snow, and well we ended up getting like 60 or something. so there:P

And damn newfies.

I live in a rock. It's been well established. Not under a rock...in...

Today looks cold but isn't. I hate it when days do that.

Sure that's not just rocks in your head? ... Zing! Oh I'm funny.

And Julie, nah, I have nothing against you, it's just amusing to poke fun at newfies.

lol its not fair though, you never met a newfie in life, and your judging us..

lol

How was I judging? I was just making fun; the difference may be slight, but it’s there.

We only sounds like we're stunned.

I implied nothing; it's all a matter of perception.

On a somewhat related topic, a friend of mine (he was my first roommate when I was at <a href="http://www.uoguelph.ca">University of Guelph</a>) went to Australia this week to do teacher's college at USC:

Anyone been to this place and/or live near there? (My apologies, I don't know Australia's geography.) I found this photo to be particularly awesome:

Is this like, a common thing there? Like how in Canada we might see squirrels running around in front of the U of G library???

I was coming back on the train from my dads, and was walking around southern cross station with my aussie flag on, passion pop clinking in my suitcase. i found this really tacky aussie flag jumpsuit n briefs so i put them on, n went to a celebration where aussie flags banned, they told me to take off those clothes so i stood there in ma aussie flag undies. then iw as told to leave.

Then i went to the lake drunk on passion pop and this bananarama crap n hooked up with this chik. she was pretty kool ut her breath stunk so we got some tik taks lol!
i drank a bottle n a half of passion pop n i had the biggest hangover in the morning.
ma mum sed i shouldnt be drinking at 13 but oh well

Passion Pop = fail

That and your grammar/spelling/typing skills, sure you’re not still a little drunk? I know it’s been what weeks now since Australia day, but from the sounds of it you’re still recovering.

Anyway, no emmzee I don’t think it’s that common, not actually going to uni I can’t say for sure, but I doubt it.

Speaking of Australian universities, does anyone know where the University of Wollongong is? I have a friend going there. The place isn't...sketchy is it?
