Geesh, woman! ...Groundhog Day - THE DAY! _Not_ the movie but the day
itself which is Groundhog Day. Ergo, I thought you were asking me if I
had seen THE DAY in order to be short or flippant or cutsie, or God knows
what.
> What the was peculiar about it?
The peculiarity was in you asking me if I had seen THE DAY. Of course,
since you were really asking me if I had seen the movie, this might have
seemed peculiar to you. However, since you appear to read on a level
about par with Jukka's diplomacy, I'll bet a lot of things seem peculiar
to you...

Well, pork sausage makes me think of groundhog in a way...
Btw, "geez" _isn't_ my favourite word. Under an American auspices, it's
still not my favorite word.
