The final chapter.....

So, the car rolls up to Madison Square Garden. Moonshine, the dazed and confused little woodchuck, is hustled to the locker room to await his "bout".
He thinks to himself, "This is just too surreal. I really don't want to hurt anyone."
He's fitted with some strange looking shorts and a cape that makes him look like a fruit bat.
The time comes when he's escorted to the ring to face his opponent.
He ducks under the ropes and enters the ring.
He waves his small golden boxing gloves in the air, does a quick dance on the canvas.
Then, his adversary enters the ring.
He blinks his eyes several times as they must be creating a hallucination.
Reality sets in.
It's a very big, very angry polar bear!!! P Bear is very upset that his ice world is melting.
Every other word out of P Bear's mouth is bad (soap worthy).
Poor little Moonshine didn't cause all the "global warming". Now he has to PAY!!
The bell rings.
It rings again.
It rings yet another time.
Gosh darn it!!!!
He stands up and looks around. He doesn't see his shadow.
So, back under the blankets he goes.
It must have been a bad dream after all.
He hits the snooze button that's set for six weeks.
Better dreams ahead for the woodchuck.
Good that "groundhog's day" is finally over...or was it night?

I have to say after reading this whole thread, I have absolutely zero idea about what it is about. I'm not sure what urge kept pushing me to read more and more, yet strangely, i was sad to see it stop. Wow, dts hook me up with what your drinking.

Skippy,
Truth be told, I had not a drop to drink, nor any other mind altering substance. I got some ideas from all the divergent stuff going on in the thread and tried to turn it into something having to do with a groundhog.

Though frankly, I think it's too late. So long to polar bears, hello to yearly Katrinas and Wyoming beaches.

I knew at one point this thread was about Global Warming....

We have in fact had ice ages end multiple times long before the industrial revolution so your statement that the earth has warmed and cooled many, many times before the industrial revolution is correct. The argument that how much humans are contributing to the current warming is pretty much unsolvable anad unfortunately will just be turned into another politcal issue. And I do remember well the 70s after the multiple frigid winters in the eastern half of the nation that the talk was indeed we were headed toward another ice age perhaps. Because there are occurrences of CO2 levels going up in the past, makes it really tough to determine now what really is going on.

heard some blurbs from a guy who has been a climatologist in canada for decades, out of university of winnipeg. he says global warming as it's 'taught' now is incorrect, that it isn't from humans and co2 emissions....and yeah, i remember the ice age talk from 30 years ago. and now the u.n. report has come out saying whatever humans do, or don't do, that global warming will continue.

I couldn't possibly make this up.
Here is the "real cause" of global warming, in his own words.

Randall,
I'm with you too. I just have to stop feeding so many beans to my pet dinosaur.
It doesn't like going outside in the cold, and frankly, the house is starting to stink up bad.
I'm running out of candles.:eek:
