Happy Rat Day everyone, otherwise known as groundhog day. Yet another ridiculous holiday for people to celebrate, party and get drunk for. You would think that it was new years in times square or something. People line up by the thousands to watch some guy in a silly hat and suit rip a rat out of it's "hole" and hold it up for everyone to see.

The truth is, they keep the rat in a cage all year long. They take it to places and show it off like it's a car or a movie star or something. I'm surprised that they haven't taught it to sign autographs by now.

People start getting to Gobbler's Knob late the night before, where they are holding a party. Of course there is loud music, dancing, drinking, and all of that fun party stuff. These people party all night long, probably keeping the rat awake all night. The poor thing probably only would like to get some sleep, and there are these idiots outside his hole partying.

By the time morning gets there, the little rat has a pounding headache, blooshot eyes, and is grouchy from not getting any sleep. Just as things start to quiet down, and he just starts to fall asleep, some idiot wakes him up and rips him out of his hole and is shoved in front of all these bright lights and flashbulbs and screaming idiots. After the guy in the silly suit makes a speech and all that, he puts the rat down to see if he will go back into his hole or not. Well of course he's going to go back in!!! I would want to get away from all the idiots too.

I think someone should petition to get stupid holidays like this banished. The day that people start worshipping a rat and call it a holiday is just sickening. These people need to go find something more worthwhile to do with their time, such as watching grass grow.
