It's the opposite of Groundhog Day here, whatever that is called.

Are you sure? I thought Imbolc lined up with Mabon, being the first vs the last festival of the year, and Lughnasadh is the opposite of Beltane...

Oops ignore me, double checked and you are absolutely right... gods that's confusing!

I woulda suggested Wombat Day, but that's already been taken.

I was gonna say!

thought you might.

and inspired more than a little, perhaps, by a certain small wombat of peripatetic inclination, I'd like to humbly submit a small offering I made for cat_macros...

My cats had similar reactions to the guinea pigs. We used to let the pigs lose on a screened in sun porch during the summer and they'd occasionally boot the cat out of the sunny spot. Cats would give way to something that looked like a furry sausage.

August 2 when the Wombat emerges from his burrow. If he sees his shadow then he knows he got up too early and goes back to bed. Who gives a shit about the winter?

Groundhog... the other Other white meat. };=*)

Happy un-Groundhog's Day, over there.

Considering your location - today would have to be WARTHOG DAY.

August 1 is Wombat Day. It's the opposite of Groundhog Day.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

as in... the opposite side of the year. And it's August 2.

I second Wombat Day!

Puggle Day?

Woolley Bear Day?

(I can't remember the source, but one older comic I used to read as a kid mentioned that the heavier the fuzz on the woolley bear, the harsher the winter would be)

Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear

You might be on to something... An anti-groundhog would have to:

--> Be active in winter
--> Snooze and live off fat in summer
--> Sleep above ground
--> Go below the surface for food.

I say polar bear! Polar Bear Night FTW?

Actually, a Woolley Bear is a caterpillar that goes dormant during the winter.

I remember where I used to read about it. It was in the B.C. (http://www.creators.com/comics/bc.html) comic, probably one of the B.C. books my parents had when I was a kid.

Clams got legs!

D'oh! I knew that!

No, really, I did. ^_^

November 30th

Because it's as far away from the end of the year as groundhog day is from the beginning of the year. Yeah, it's obscure.
