Oh my. Our local "groundhog" is a nutria.
Heh, and 6 more weeks of winter isn't even an option. [link]
I'm a little shocked at the Canadian killer groundhog. But I love the llama.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Competing groundhogs: "Staten Island Chuck is the most famous and the most accurate in the nation. He's been right 21 out of 24 years. So there."
Huh. He was on The Today Show this morning and they said that he's only 10 years old. Maybe they're including the current Chuck's predecessor in that 24 years.

Ok, when I suggested the groundhog be replaced, I wasn't suspecting that people might got NUTS. Just that they get a little less timid groundhog.
A llama?
Mr. Prozac?

I'm sure that there is a groundhog in Illinois who didn't see his shadow this morning. I think I'm goign to go with that anonymous woodchuck rather than Mr. Celebrity Puxatawny Phil Woodchuck.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
No. It only means at least some parents/guardians are willing to let their kids spend time with him at Neverland. Anything else is reading into their motivation, and I don't think anyone posting here has that much insight into these individuals' mindset.
I disagree. I think its a reasonable assumption that the vast, vast, VAST majority of parents would not let their children do something unsafe. If it were a few nasty old parent-pimps that would be one thing, but this is hundreds of people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just need to point out that in the northern US, winter is NEVER OVER IN EARLY FEBRUARY.
Honestly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are less cynical than I am. So our definitions of reasonable differ.
I think it's a snap to find hundreds of children whose parents a) aren't paying attention b) don't care c) are wrong or d) can be distracted. You have a more cuddly view of human nature.

Why are you in places with appreciable winters, then?
