In a stunning and unexpected turn of events today, Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s most famous groundhog, came out of his hole and saw Peter Pan’s shadow! As this had never before happened, it took officials some time to determine what this meant. And now we know…
Six months of pirate attacks courtesy of Captain Hook and his crew!
Peter Pan, who eventually arrived on the scene to collect his wayward shadow, offered his deepest apologies. He also promised that he and the Lost Boys would protect us from the evil, one-handed pirate. Wendy Darling, who reattached Peter’s shadow, apologized for her shoddy work and assured everyone that the shadow would not escape again.
I’m not that worried, Modern Philosophers, since Maine is more than prepared for a pirate attack. How are you going to handle this next six weeks?
There’s plenty of room up here if you need a place to ride out the storm…
I would think Maine would be safe from pirates! Too cold, even if spring is supposed to be right around the corner. I hear pirates prefer the warm sunshine of the Carribean. Florida might be in trouble, unless Captain Hook gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle. If I had to guess, I’d say Maine might be in more danger from Viking raiders than pirates.
I like your logic, but just remember, Maine is guarded by otherworldly creatures. I’m sure the Aliens would be able to blow the pirates out of the Atlantic with their lasers. Plus, Godzilla is still here, and I’m sure he’d be willing to lend a hand…
I’m thinking of joining the pirates. They’d need someone to keep a blog about their raids, right?
I thought Smee already did that, but he probably doesn’t do a very good job…
Tiger Lilly’s been vacationing here in Massachusetts. Need me to send her up there?
I think we’re good. Like I said, we’re ready for a pirate attack. Heck, we’ve still got Godzilla up here to keep the water clear…
All I can think about is the movie, “Ground Hog Day.” Thanks for the weather and news update. Ca. has been gloriously sunny and warm. Now if I could just get rid of the damn flu my parents shared with me….
Parents are always sharing…
I root for the bad guys anyway. Pan was a wuss. Go Hook!

Tinker Bell is going to die because of comments like that!
Here in Florida, we have Gasperilla day, which includes tons of pirates and looting! I guess six weeks of attacks by pirates would just add to the party! So, bring it on!
I will be sure to send them your way if they dare try to land in Maine…
I love Peter Pan, because I never want to grow up! This was a cute and funny way to intertwine your fantasies and Groundhog Day!
Thank you. I can be witty at times.
