Impromptu Groundhog Day Megapost II
I never intend to post about this holiday, but I once again got wrapped up in some nifty searches.
How about a few vintage treats to start?
Is the groundhog the instructor, or part of the recipe?
“Nice marmot.”
I’ve learned that anything can be turned into an occasion for beer. Too bad I don’t like beer. Where are the Groundhog Day chocolate parties?
How about a little “art?”
Punxsutawney Phil the Seer of Seers:
King Henry Groundhog (hm?):
How about a painted groundhog tart pan? My goodness, this is depressing.
At least this soap is a bit more cheerful.
This poor guy looks like he’s undergoing an uncomfortable medical procedure.
Colorful…postmodern…
And now for your daily dose of euphemism: the Jolly Groundhog:
Innnnnnnteresting…(I love how this next one is available on “Fine Art America”).
Now this, I really like:
Bloody Groundhog Day:
You better recognize.
And a little taxidermy…
GAH! (The store this comes from is actually pretty great)
His posture is sublime:
The groundhog saw his shadow this morning, so that means six more weeks of…this?
In closing…
Don’t miss the absurd finds on last year’s Groundhog Day post!

You say you don’t like beer but love chocolate?!! Then you need to try Chokat by Southern Tiers Brewing!! It is chocolate heaven in a glass!!! http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/3818/40058

Ooh…I am intrigued. I am certainly open minded enough to give a good chocolate beer a try! Thanks.

I forgot to sign in with that comment so you’d know that comment came from me.

Must. Get. Cookbook. For the roadkill, I assure you;)

I went to Bemidji, MN a decade ago on a mini road trip with my college roommate who lived in ND. I brought a roadkill cookbook back for my mother.

Ohhh, thank you so much for that. Ground hog day is my favorite!

Haha…if it’s seriously your favorite holiday, that is *amazing*. The groundhogs get no respect from most folks.

Wait… what? You eat tart and are then greeted by an utterly miserable groundhog, and then you wash your hands by destroying the cheerful, soapy face of another groundhog?
I say we make the smiles resilient and the frowns transient!

Actually, you can’t eat off the tart pan…it’s for decorative purposes only. So the sadness cannot even be covered momentarily. You just stare at it.
