Hey guys, feel free to wake up Punxsutawney Phyllis next year. What's a groundhog got to do to get some sleep around here?
Geez....when I answered that Craigslist ad for a day job, I had no idea it was just for one day!
The groundhog salutes Al Gore.
Whew, Phil...this winter really sucks. I know you promised Charlie Sheen you would try to take the heat off of him, but honestly, couldn't you at least try to find your shadow.
"I'll kiss your butt if you get me a real job and fix the economy, Mr. groundhog!"
You were expecting a rabbit from the hat? That's tomorrow for – "Year of the Rabbit"!!

Forget Spring. Who's that Ground Hog over there?
So where's Bill Murray?
Ohhhhh...look who decided to finally come out.
If you think this is bad, pop back out in November and see how the turkeys are treated on Thanksgiving Day.
Is Bill Murray around? I only want to do this once this time.
Today a Star....tomorrow EBay....wonder what he'll get for a slightly used Groundhog?
And where's my shadow?
Groundhog (bemused): Ha, ha, look at all these people. P. T. Barnum had them pegged right.
Hey Phil, do you have the feeling we have done this before?
well, Kiss my Grits, no more winter!!!
Punxsutawney Phil to reporter: You want me to tell you if I see my shadow,Well,were are you when I need a hug.
Groundhog: Soooo...Anderson Cooper chose to go to Egypt rather than come here and cover me?
Whoa. You saw Bill Murray too, didn't you?
STEELERS!
"Hey...what do you think you'd smell like after a year in a hole?"
Hmm...looks like he has something to say about Mubarak's departure, too.
Featuring "two beards of a kind."
You know you love it. I said you'd hear from Ted Williams again!
So, an early Spring you say........ LIAR!!
The National Weather Service's steadfast tool for weather prediction!!
Punxsutawney Phil didnt see his shadow,but Ben did find a "surprise"in his hat.
I am the stupidest creature on the face of the earth. And yet I have a following of millions! Only in America.
I want to go back to bed. Really. Why don't you go home and take your weirdo friends with you.
I've been PUNX'D!

"Ok pal. I'm not a parrot and your not a pirate!"
Oh Ya, I remember now, this idiot shows up at my doorstep every freakin year.
Sorry man, in all this excitement, I just couldn't hold it!...

Proof that pets really DO look like their owners!!
Oh, I didnt know You smelled that bad!
With the proper seasonings I'm sure you'd be quite tasty
Ben Hughes "Ohhh, so it's like that?"
Punxsutawney Phil, "Yeah it is, so dude, get out of the picture! It's all about me!"
I said, "I wish I had a RABBIT in a hat with a bat and a '64 Impala."
I hope your not lying to us! We're tired of this snow!
Oh don't look so surprised. Who could see anything with all these cameras flashing in their face?
Spring comes same day every year – snow or no snow. Now can I get some more sleep?
Watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat!
Pucker up, buttercup!!
That's right – you come out of the hole in the ground and I cash the checks!
Early Spring! I could kiss you!
Every year the same place, same people same time. Let's do Jamaica next year mon???
You know what they say: owners tend to look like their pets!
