Hehehe....Saturday the high was low 90's....no problem to work in the garden, right? I came in for a break and the weather guy on TV says heat index=100. Duhhh....no wonder I was sweating like a pig!
To: Overtaxed
Pigs don't sweat.
To: HairOfTheDog
Well I was sweating like something...I thought it was a pig. :)
To: Overtaxed
I don't know how we came up with these phrases that don't even make sense... pigs don't sweat, so who said they did anyway? How do we end up with these sayings? Why do people park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?
To: HairOfTheDog
Okay...so I was sweating a lot. I could drive in the driveway but I wouldn't get too far. :)
To: HairOfTheDog
pigs don't sweat, so who said they did anyway? The saying comes from the practice of roasting a pig on a spit... as the pig roasts, the fat comes through the skin and drips off, looking like sweat.

Can only stay long enough to demonstrate my knowledge of cliche' origins... now it's back to work for me!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Well thank you very much for clearing that up! Gross!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Mmmmmm.....pig fat.

Mmmmmm.....pig fat. Hey! Are you talking about me again?
I must need more exploding orange juice, I'm still only down 15 lbs......
To: Corin Stormhands
No..not about you. Talking about some
good grease!
Hobbitses, dwarveses, and various and sundry denizens of Middle Earth must be busy today!
To: Overtaxed; Corin Stormhands
Good grease taste good.
I guess we gotta die of something. I heard somebody say (was it here?) that if they died healthy that they would be mad. ;^)
May as well die with good taste in your mouth after a pleasant meal.

I wonder where g'nad has been today? Probably out practicing a new way to cause general mayhem and destruction for our enemies.
