Chasing Shadows, Deja Vu The Third Again The 2nd Once More With Feeling Electric Boogaloo

[alarm clock clicking to 6:00 AM]

[Sonny & Cher caterwauling to I Got You, Babe]

Ok, Campers, rise and shine! 'Cuz it's Groundhog Day!

Or, as Brenda here knows it:

"Groad Hogs Day"

Today is the day that we celebrate the.. day...by having this cheeky little fella:

aka "the guy with the crappy back end":

"Did I do that?"

...drive around town with Bill Murray looking for a weather forecaster who has no shadow. Which I think makes the weather forecaster a vampire.

 Ah, American holidays.

Today is also the day when we find out if winter will end soon or not.

 Hm...

Yeah. Good luck with that, every-state-but-Florida.

So, unless shadowless weather forecasters are run over by rodent and celebrity driven automobiles, I'd say most of you are due to see a lot more of this:

"Squashed octopodes?"

Er, no. I mean this:

"Blue crabs?"

No, no, no!

THIS:

[crickets chirping]

Oh, never mind.

Happy Grounn Dhog Day, y'all.

Thanks to Brenda M., M.Z., Melissa B., Saundra, Karen C., Jamie, & Kevin H., who would like to remind you to never drive angry. Especially with a quadruped. 

See you tomorrow, campers!

Note from john (thoJ): Yes, Groundhog Day was Sunday but what am I gonna do, NOT post this?!

P.S. If by some chance you DON'T have this classic in your film library, I *highly* recommend it. Plus I just discovered it's only $10 Prime right now for the Blu-Ray:

Sunday Sweets Goes FULL UNICORN

Have you noticed unicorns and rainbows are all the rage again lately? There are unicorn cafes, unicorn drinks - heck, I even spotted a unicorn grilled cheese. o.0

Isn't enough enough?

The answer, of course, is no.

NO AMOUNT OF UNICORNS IS EVER ENOUGH.

Squeeee!

Yes, this Lisa Frank-loving woman-child is jumping on the technicolor bandwagon today, peeps, because look at these unicorn macarons:

They have Fruity Pebble manes! Ahhh!

And look at this watercolor drip deliciousness:

Pastel rainbow heaven!

You know that thing where someone takes one awesome thing and mashes it together with another awesome thing?

Well, I give you:

Unicorn Ice Cream Cone Cookies.

Or how about these sweet little cake pops?

(By Just Add Sugar)

The little rosy cheeks! Ah!

A lot of so-called Unicorn treats are really just rainbow-colored food, and while I will never complain about rainbow-colored food, I do like that this Sweetness at least has a twisty unicorn horn on top:

Those rainbow tiers are perfection! And do I spy cotton candy? OooOOOoooh.

Who else suddenly wants to nuzzle a cupcake?

Now, I'm not saying these donuts really look like unicorns, but they're so stinkin' cute I think we can agree they score a Hole-In-One.

(By Christina's Cupcakes)

Get it? A hole in one? AAAAAI'll stop now.

I've never really been onboard with "naked" cakes... until now:

(Featured here, but the baker isn't listed. Anyone know?)

D'awww. If ever a cake deserved to be naked, it's this one.

And finally, let's end with the cake that turned me into a starry-eyed six-year-old again:

(By With Love And Confection)

It has meringue wings! And a mermaid crown! EEEEE!!!

Happy Sunday, everyone! May your week be as magical - and as colorful - as these unicorns!
