Happy Groundhog DayFollow

So who's stuck at work today? If the office busy? What are you doing tonight to celebrate? Where are you taking your loved ones? Did you buy any special presents for the day? What kind of presents did you get? What does your Groundhog Day tree look like? Does it bother you when people refer to it as an Early February Spring Forecasting Conifer? Would you boycott Target for saying so? Did you hide your Groundhog Day candy out in the yard for the groundhogs to find? What are you dressed up as this year? Have you had a moment of silence for our fallen groundhogs?

Whew! So much to talk about on this special day!


God, I f[i][/i]ucking hate that movie...

I read a review of that film once where someone expressed disbelief that, if Bill Murry's character was secure enough in his cyclical existance to step in front of a truck, he wouldn't have tried to rape Andie MacDowell

In his defense, the thought was posed in the framework of "If you knew your actions had no repercussions because everything would start over in 12 hours, would there be any point in caring about right and wrong?"

Sure, it'd suck for Andie MacDowell for six hours until everything popped back into place. Likewise, if Bill Murry robbed a bank, who cares? Hell, even if he dies doing it, what difference would it make? What point is there in being a "good person" and how long would it take for you to get so incredibly bored and fatalisitc with your existance before you're eating babies and peeing on the handicapped just for something new to do?

I suppose the primary motivation to "being good" at that point would be the fear that this is the day that's going to turn into tomorrow.
