Phil Connors had two pieces of advice that I always try to live my life by: “Keep The Talent Happy” and “Don’t Drive Angry.” Of course, having spent years trapped in the same frigid Groundhog Day, he had a unique perspective on life that most of us don’t get, even wondering why he couldn’t have had the day in Hawaii with the beautiful girl and the sunset for eternity. It made me wonder where James T. Kirk might want to spend eternity (it would certainly involve green women and equally verdant space booze) or how awesome it might be to live as Luke Skywalker, hero of the battle of Yavin. Of course, he would have to kiss his sister over and over again for 10,000 years, but he didn’t learn that until later, and later WILL NEVER COME! This, in turn, begs today’s repeated and repeated and repeated query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wonders if it’s too early for flapjacks, asking: What single Groundhog Day of pop culture would YOU choose to live over and over again?

Wolverine’s “snikt” moment (THE one)… When Beth died on The Walking Dead TV show… the last episode of St Elsewhere… John Smoltz sliding into home plate to win a playoff game (“Braves win! Braves win!”)… the Validus reveal in the Darkseid Saga…
Powerful moments where I had to stop and take a breath. I’m sure there’s more…
