Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 How much wood can a woodchuck chuck? How did this critter get to be famous in the first place.....and how many suckers believe in this? Quote
John Kloehr Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Punxsutawney Phil has an accuracy rate of 35%. Staten Island Chuck holds 1st place, runs at 80%. 2nd place is held by a prairie dog rather than a ground hog; more accurately, it is a statue of a prairie dog.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Quote When the first Groundhog Day occurred on February 2, 1887, in Gobbler’s Knob, Pennsylvania, groundhogs were celebrated not only for their predictive abilities but also for their delicious flavor. In the 1880s, groundhog meat was the preferred cuisine at the local Punxsutawney Elks Lodge, the same lodge responsible for conceiving of the original Groundhog Day ceremony — and a summer hunt. Locals loved the taste of the small rodent, saying it was “like a cross between pork and chicken.” They would also indulge in celebratory potables like “Groundhog Punch,” an unusual concoction known to contain vodka, milk, eggs, and orange juice. Groundhog meat continued to be served as a regional delicacy into the 20th century, with a recipe for “Groundhog, Punxsutawney Style” published in a 1958 cookbook to raise money for a local hospital. However, the hunting portion of the holiday ultimately faded in popularity, as locals opted to enjoy the animal more for its cuteness than for its taste. 2 Quote
