Six more weeks of winter? Take that, Phil!
(AP photo)
Is it just us, or does it always seem like Punxsutawney Phil and his rodent counterparts across the country ALWAYS see their shadows? Well, here's a bit of payback, apparently. Write a funny caption for this photo and submit it as a comment below. Read up on the competition before posting your caption.

It didn't take long for groundhog handler Bill Hughes to remember why he was not supposed to hoist Phil directly overhead.

Phil: I've got flowers in the spring and you bring me salt-lick things!
Bill:When I'm sad, you're a clown and you've stopped pooping all around!
Phil: So let them say my hair's too long, 'Cause I don't care with you I can't go wrong!
Bill: So put your little hand in mine, There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Together: Hog. I got groundhog...
(Because shameless references can rarely be avoided.)

At the last second, Jackson makes a spectacular leaping catch to rob Punxsutawney of a home run...

The groundhog realized that despite his 100 dollar donation the year before - once again PETA was a no show.

Bill: Take my groundhog, PLEASE!
Phil: I don't get no respect.

Still celebrating the Steelers victory last night, this Pittsburgh fan is about to demonstrate why the NFL frowns on post touchdown celebration by spiking Phil in the end zone!

♫ “You ain’t nuthin’ but a ground hog,
Lyin’ ‘cause you can.
You ain’t nuthin’ but a ground hog,
Lyin’ ‘cause you can.
You ain’t never called it right yet
And you ain’t no weatherman.” ♫

For next year, we are going to have a casino built around ole Phil, so you Marylanders can come up and see him any time on those bus trips. The taxpayers of PA thank you!
