Wowser. We have our work cut out for us. It looks like it's guessing time again for TM.

TM

OH MY - I am a slacker with only 5 questions!! lol And by the way, our Wiarton Willie would challenge that 'official' status!!

I should know some of the first, but the second, well, I only concentrated on the 'old' trivia. Uh-oh.

Nancy.

Well I think I know which president so I'm not completely skunked.

The Northwoods League in Wisconsin has the woodchuck (aka groundhog) as its mascot-the Wisconsin Woodchucks. Phil is a pretty big star in his own right, so I doubt he pals around with lesser luminaries. If you can eliminate one answer, you have about a third of a chance of being right!

So many things have changed now that we are in the 21st century. I always liked looking forward to the Super Bowl. Once it ended, we moved on to other holidays. Now, it seems almost to coincide with other festivities like Mardi Gras or GH day like this year.

I am looking forward to watching the game being played outdoors. As a Packer fan, I think it is so nice to have it back where it belongs. Football just isn't football when it is played indoors. ;)

Cynthia

Well, I am going to wing it here:
1 -a
2 -false
3 -c
4 -not a clue!!
5 -I'm saying c, cause I love him
6 -c

About the ads, I know nothing!!

Here is a picture of the hood, frosted in snow.

Nancy.

1. No idea really, but it seems like the kind of thing Jimmy Carter would have done, so A.

2. I don't think of them as aggressive, so it's probably a trick question. I'll go with True.

3. I'll just pick the one closest to 50:50 - B.

4. Is it Groundhogmas?

5. I think it was Carol Channing, D.

6.Wild guess: B

Maybe one of the commercials was the one for Macintosh?

TM

Giggling here, TM. Groundhogmas. You got the 'mas' part right!

Nancy, love your snow picture. Your answers...not so much. Do some flipping for the groundhog ones. Oh, do you have power or are you using candles?

Sorry, as much as I am also a fan of Bobby Darrin, he wasn't the one. He did like blondes, though!

TM, don't think Jimmy had enough star power to be invited into Phil's inner circle. Seems your wild guesses pay off more than your reasoned ones. Hmmm.

Here is one of the commercials that aired only once-about 5 months after September 11. The Super Bowl was delayed in 2002 because of the events.

Here is a link that might be useful: Budweiser 9-11 ad

And here is the other commercial. Nice memory, TM!

Cynthia

Here is a link that might be useful: Super Bowl ad

In case I don't get back, I think...
#1 is "C"
#2 I'm guessing False
#3 I'm guessing "A"
#4 Haven't a clue

I. C Ronnie
2 False
3. D.
4. D
5. B

I knew the Apple commercial was only aired once as a paid commercial though it has been shown several times as an example of a great commercial so continues as an unpaid commercial. The best kind of advertising.

Hmm, my edits aren't showing up. Here are my revised answers.
1. C. Ronnie
2. False
3. A
4. I've forgotten this one, think it has to do with a celebration of light and candles.
5. D. Carol Channing
6. B. two stations

And what I said above about the Apple commercial. Don't remember the Bud one.

Okay, here we go:
1. C. Ronald Reagan was the president who met Phil. Phil also met Oprah.
2. True. Of course, the one we had in our yard ran away from the raccoon and poked his nose out from under our steps to get the apples I tossed him. I thought he was a cutie. Maybe the internet is wrong on this.
3. A. Phil is right about 39% of the time according to the LiveScience site and the Parade magazine article "8 Crazy Facts about Groundhog Day."
4. The Groundhog Day celebration is rooted in a German superstition that says if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, the Christian holiday of Candlemas, winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says, spring will come early.

5. D. Yes Carol Channing was the first big star to do a half-time show at Super Bowl IV in 1970. They still included a marching band, Al Hirt, and Lionel Hampton with New Orleans jazz numbers.
6. B. The first Super Bowl is the only one broadcast on two stations simultaneously. It also is the only Super Bowl to have been simulcast in the United States by two networks: NBC had the rights to nationally televise AFL games, while CBS held the rights to broadcast NFL games; both networks were allowed to televise the game. It is also the only Super Bowl that was not a sell-out.

Fours stars for all of you-feeling generous after the Super Bowl blowout!
Thanks for playing all. Have a marvelous week!

Cynthia

Good fun Cyn. I had no clue on any of it, but it was fun guessing.

See you next week. Nancy-

Thanks for the fun and stars. I saw the Parade article, couldn't miss the 39%.

Good questions, Cynthia. Thanks for the fun and the not-totally-deserved stars.
