    That is a Sheridan 20 Caliber pellet rifle. 900fps? I believe. Rifled barrel and very accurate.

    Excellent varmit remover, I used to take out red squirrels at 75 yards pretty easy.

    Down south we have Punxy Phil's cousin, Gen Beauregard Lee, do the honors.

    It's raining pretty hard right now; I hope the little varmint drowns.

    "I don't see no berkeleying shadow. Do you see a berkeleying shadow? I didn't think so."

    If he sees his shadow, I'm blaming the media!!!

    Think about it... Some little rodent-bastard pokes his head up, and he has 43 news crews trying to get good video or stills.

    Poor little guy doesn't care whether he sees his shadow or not. He probably just wants to wander out to take a E36 M3 or something.

    Next thing he knows, he has a Pink Floyd light-show hovering over him... Yeah there's going to be a shadow.

    If he sees his shadow, we get 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, we get 6 more weeks of winter.

    I'm embarrassed that something that stupid came out of the state I inhabit.

    I'm embarrassed that there are people that think this is important on the planet I inhabit.

    You guys get that this is supposed to be fun, right? It is a drinking event in rural western PA. No one actually believes in a magical rodent that controls season change. It's really done by the US military as a secret project.

    Yaaaaa! Phil didn't see his shadow! Now if he would get hisdrunk chubby little a over here and get rid of the snow.

    Honestly, that's the first time in my life I can remember him "not seeing his shadow". I figured he always did, since you know, a freakin gopher can't tell me when the damn weather is gonna change.

    Now you can check up on the big 'Hogs as well as the local talent! Most seem to be pushing for the early spring this year.
