A Bit About Me

My photo
Along with my daily duties as founder and head writer of HumorMeOnline.com, in 2003, I took the Grand Prize in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (also known as the "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" competition). I've also been a contributor to "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and the web's "The Late Show with David Letterman". I also occupy my time writing three blogs, "Blogged Down at the Moment", "Brit Word of the Day" and "Production Numbers"...and my off-time is spent contemplating in an "on again/off again" fashion...my feable attempts at writing any one of a dozen books. I would love to write professionally one day...and by that I mean "actually get a paycheck".

Death to Punxsutawny Phil -- Too Harsh a Sentence?



Squirrel Goes Nuts -- Vows to Eat One Baby Each Day People Continue to Complain About Punxsutawny Phil




A mother squirrel in the neighbouring town of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, has literally had it with all the bad press lately about Punxsutawny Phil that she has vowed to eat one baby per day until the "madness has stopped".

The Slippery Rock rodent resident has lived in the shadow of Phil for too long and is tired of all the hoopla which descends upon the quiet and serene area of western Pennsylvania every year.

While the mother could not be reached for comment...she does live way up in a tree after all...we did manage to get hold of the following statement:

"Each year, without fail, right smack dab in the middle of mating season...all these news vans set up camp just to get a photo op with some lazy rodent who couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground" the upset mother of six (make that five) stated yesterday. "I know it's some human tradition thing that's been going on for years, but it wreaks havoc with my biological clock and a squirrel can only wait so long before she has to decide which mate to pick. Last year I picked Ralph...this year, it was Eddie. Ralph was no prize, trust me -- Eddie's even worse. All my other suitors relocated to areas further away because radio frequencies apparently inhibit squirrel sperm count. Had I known how my kids were going to turn out because of Ralph's mutated nut-juice, I would eaten them then. Now they are too big and I can't...so this year, I'm planning to eat one of Eddie's kids each day I see another news truck come barrelling through here. I figure he can't hold that against me and, since it's a noble cause for all the other wildlife around here, it's a win-win situation for all."

And I, for one, cannot agree more. Come on people...it's a rodent. A shadow-producing (or not), weather-predicting rodent in 2013? And we're going to ask for his head on a plate because he predicted wrongly? (People are actually calling for his death.)  Yeah, back before meteorology and calendars like the Farmer's Almanac...I could see people getting mad enough. But 2013?? No wonder the Aztecs were hoping we'd bite it in 2012.







(Yes, I know...literally vs figuratively...but literally still sounds better to the ear.)

    P. Phil isn't doing the predictions. His powers to predict don't exist. It's only men making their predictions and attributing it to Phil. Just like religion.

    Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice
    from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog?

    I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking
    about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Appreciate it

    I dunno, he's not perfect, but Phil is at least as accurate as the guy on Channel 11 Los Angeles.

    And hey, Mariann, come check out my new blog . . . splitsandgiggles.blogspot.com. I need followers!

    Fuck commenters # 1, 2 & 4. Number 3 seems like a decent sort - maybe.

    I do have to say that taking meteorological advice from rodents would not seem to be the sanest course of action. Instead of putting poor Phil to death, perhaps the entire city council of Punxsatawney (or whoever puts on this dog and groundhog show every year) should be the ones hung.
