I laughing "with" ya.....never at ya........:o)
More so at the silly stories that FR seems to have more of these days...........
Stay safe !
I have a buddy that will close down the bar and end up with whatever skank is left in the place. He calls it "Hoggin'"
Don't feel bad. Most people do.
There was one episode of "Deadwood" you evidently missed.
Why do I read articles like this? Sheesh...
Pigs are the little ones. Hogs are the big ones.
I see; Thank you. I'll just try to stay away from anything that oinks. :*)
I'm going to go make myself a salad and try not to think what kind of 'additives' might be in the polish sausage I had yesterday...I knew I should have stayed in San Diego.
As an inactive Marine from MCRD in San Diego, you've been through a lot worse things than hogs chasing you.
I have a pal who was an investigator for the public defender's office. One of the suspects he investigated had committed this crime. When my pal asked him if it was a female pig the guy got all upset, 'whaddya think I am, a homo or something?'
Well, that got a burst of iced tea on my keyboard!
omniverous would be a better answer but a hog will eat nothing that would harm him. They will eat snakes but not a cotton mouth.
For what it's worth, I actually graduated from Parris island, and was only stationed in California;
Now I live in San Antonio, Rodeo's coming up, and every time I see a pig/hog I'm going to think of this story and wonder...
lol
Ya gotta love these stories and the responses. I just have to remember not to have my mouth full of stuff while reading; we lose more keyboards and monitors that way.
That's just funny. The guy is a pree-vert, not a homo.
Also, in England during the 1440s, Parliament passed a law specifically forbidding shepherds (and witches) to be present at the birth of an infant, or to serve as "midwife" in some capacity.
From anecdotal evidence, it appears that many infants delivered by shepherds turned up ill, or dead (no mention about infants delivered by witches).
Some years ago, I asked a physician about this; he speculated that since some sexually-transmitted diseases originated with shepherds and sheep, these diseases might have been responsible for the sick or dead infants.
Of course, during the 15th century, no one connected the dots, disease with sick or dead children.....all they knew was that, if the "midwife" was a shepherd (or witch), there was a very good chance something might go wrong with the infant, and so it was best to keep shepherds (and witches) away from the birthing-bed just in case.
NINE PICTURES???
JUST DAMN!
BWAAA-HAHAHAHAHA!!!
