Perhaps the mayor will have the good sense to decree something like:

"On this groundhog day of 2015 I just got bit by the god damn thing as it was being held right up to my ear. What did you people expect, it's a god damn animal. Why the fuck do we do this stupid thing every year? I know I can't understand groundhog-ese, you people know I can't understand groundhog-ese. Why the god damn fuck are we all out here in the fucking cold with cameras and shit pretending this has something to do with the earth's god damn climate. This doesn't make any fucking sense. Why the hell am I wearing this stupid hat anyway..."

Just sort of would trail off into quiet mumbling since he dropped the microphone on the stage as he just walked away....

Interesting. I lived in Madison and Sun Prairie's more-or-less a suburb and I never knew they did this. I always just thought it was just the one in Pennsylvania. You'd think it'd jinx the original one if this guy didn't see his shadow or vice versa. Turns out there's a lot of them up and down the East coast, and a few in the midwest, but none on the West coast. Yeah, it's gonna rain until june no matter what here..

It didn't bite him hard, there was no chunk of flesh missing.

That was a love bite, because if it had been anything else, nobody could pull that critter off.

Time for rabies prophylaxis!
