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.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have an inexplicable fondness for George Michael's Freedom '90. This makes me feel very old.
My ipod has an explicable fondness for Lyle Lovett songs. This makes me feel very happy. Or sad, depending on the songs that come up.

sara, you have at least a shot of early spring coming in February. Sue? I really hate to break this to you, but you live in Canadia! It's going to be cold for some time there. Sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Are you a groundhog? I don't think you have the authority to tell us that unless you're an oversized rodent. Also, if you are in fact an oversized rodent, let me congratulate you on your language skills.
