Cooper featured the post-Lenten festival on the "RidicuList" segment on Andersen 360. Cooper apologized in a tweet today, saying he was calling his laughing fit stupid not Dyngus Day. But  the damage may have already been done. Now organizers of Dyngus Day Buffalo may have the last word, naming Cooper the Pussy Willow Prince.

An early Easter, combined with an unseasonable winter has put pussy willows in short supply. The pussy willow buds bursted out of their buds much earlier than usual meaning they began to flower early. So Dyngus day revelers may squirt you with their water gun, but have to resort to wacking  you on the tookus with a branch rather than the pussy willow to show you how they feel.
