Bertoletti ate 50 wings in the last two minutes of the contest, ripping the meat from the bone and stuffing it in his mouth, a technique that left him chewing for more than two minutes after the final buzzer rang. The new record shocked Angelo Cataldi, the sports talk radio broadcaster who conceived of the contest as a consolation to Philadelphia sports fans, who have seen their Eagles football team make it only twice to the Super Bowl, which they have never won. “I didn’t think it was possible,” Cataldi said. The contest, hosted by Philadelphia sports talk radio station 94 WIP, features entrants with colorful nicknames who are ushered in with immense entourages featuring scantily lad women called “wingettes.” The Lighter Side > What do you call a snobbish prisoner going down the stairs?

His prediction came as a major storm sent temperatures plunging in his home province and blanketed much of the region with up to 40 centimetres of snow. Willie’s other prognosticating counterparts also begged to differ on the long-range forecast. As the storm tracked towards Quebec and Atlantic Canada, Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil and Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam spotted their shadows and confirmed what two-legged forecasters have been saying all along — winter is nowhere near finished. “I guess I found out Wiarton Willie is maybe a glass-half-full kind of guy,” said Geoff Coulson, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist with Environment Canada. “I guess he’s going for an early spring forecast. Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania said, ‘no way, six more weeks of winter.’ I’ve got to say I’m leaning towards Phil’s forecast.” Coulson said there is one area where Wiarton Willie’s prediction may come true. Western Canada, he said, is on track for seasonal temperature norms with perhaps some forays into above-average territory.

But maybe there’s some sunshine, in my future ahead, there is this superstition concerning a small rodent, that I’m told is all in my head. He’s supposed to peek out of his hole & look for a shadow on the ground, if he doesn’t see it in front of him, then spring will only be six weeks before it is found. Sadly there are many of these rodents, all over Canada & the United States, & some see there shadows & others don’t, so where does this land my fate? I’m going with Willie, as is written below, & I’m sure that we’ll see spring soon & get rid of all this awful cold snow...
