My BF plays washboard with a gulfcoast style roadhouse band. They each year play an elaborate groundhog day party, sort of a psychedelic lodge event, complete with costumes, medals and awards, groundhog games, and an ENORMOUS groundhog-shaped meatloaf. Hosted by a an extended family of crazed INTEL nerds, it's been going on for decades; hundreds of people attend.

Nothin' says spring is in the air more than a giant sized groundhog shape meatloaf!:lol:

(what Tiffany said) :excited:

And here I thought my annual groundhog-shaped cake was the best way to celebrate.

Hey Tiffany! How's that groundhog stew coming along?

I don't eat meat so I am substituting a giant Tofuwoodchuck in place of the stew.

AH! The Tofurkey version! Quite acceptable, of course.

Actually, a celebratory Groundhog Day stew should NOT contain ground-up groundhog, it should be in honor or the chubby bugger. They are vegetarians themselves, so the stew should contain what they like. :saint:

In Vermont they are making a serious effort to replace this with Woodchuck Day. A "woodchuck" (I made a typo and wrote woodchick ) in Vermont is a local yokel ... a red neck and a native Vermonter. And ... a woodchuck is a woodchuck - a relative ? to a ground hog?

 

[pinky-a-gogo]

Isn't a woodchuck really a groundhog. I think they are the same.:clueless:

Actually, a groundhog is really a woodchuck. :icon_dante:
