Maybe you’ve seen pictures of the singer wearing an outfit made of Kermit the Frogs.

Finally, here’s an article where the hot-tempered Miss Piggy comments about it.

Plus we learn what’s in her own closet! Unbelievable!

Inspect any light poles at your site that came from Whitco Co. LP (now out of business). They may not be safe.

Missouri lawmakers banned floating polypropylene but meant polystyrene.

Ever wonder if one of the overhead compartments on your plane contained 20 pounds of toxic metal?

Me either.

But I may ponder that on my next flight, now that I’ve heard about the guy with mercury in his suitcase.

Maybe I’ll start packing a Mercury Spill Kit in my own carry-on …

Do wood pallets spread pests? Are plastic pallets safer? (Below are link to two plastic pallets that we sell.)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced four public discussions of possible new rules (link opens a PDF) related to wood packaging material used in domestic commerce, including crates, dunnage, wooden spools, pallets and packing blocks. The concern is that wood packaging helps spread pests that threaten plants and trees, such as the emerald ash borer and the Asian longhorned beetle.

I’m glad no one was hurt when part of the ceiling collapsed recently in a seacoast municipal building. Workers knew about leaks and cracks up there, but budget woes had delayed maintenance.

When a tight budget can allow for a PIG® Leak Diverter, that will be a good move in some cases like this. Hanging a Leak Diverter to drain away a leak may buy time and save money in the long run.

You’ve heard how I don’t like my mom’s speaker system.

But these pigs I dig!

New Pig sits about an hour and a half above the Mason Dixon Line, the divider between the North and the South, which I remember largely because of the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where Yosemite Sam is a Confederate soldier who won’t let Bugs across the Line.

This came to mind when I realized there are some things we won’t feature on this blog even if they involve bacon. We’ll nix them. They cross the line. So call it the Bacon Nixin’ Line.

We’ve featured the cholesterol timebomb called the Bacon Explosion …

We’ve featured the bacon-powered blowtorch …

We’ve featured bacon shoes.

We’ll even toss in a gratuitous shot of McDonald’s new Bacon & Cheese Angus Third Pounder, which debuts on my calendar this weekend. (wipes away drool)

But we won’t feature this beyond letting you know it exists.

Now’s the perfect time to offer immortal dialogue from the best miniseries of all time:

Gus McCrae: You know how it works, Jake, you ride with an outlaw, you die with an outlaw. I’m sorry you crossed the line.

Jake Spoon: I didn’t see no line, Gus. I was just trying to get through the territory without getting scalped, that’s all.

I’m just about done updating the New Pig safety manual, but now I’m going to flip back through it to see if it addresses how to properly assault a vending machine.

A man in Illinois recently fractured his hip on the job while ramming a vending machine to dislodge a bag of chips for a coworker. He was judged eligible for workers’ comp because he wasn’t on break, he was coming to the aid of another worker (Illinois law recognizes “Good Samaritan” cases) and the employer knew the machine was faulty (a “reasonably foreseeable” situation in Illinois).

Good Samaritan? Yes. Safe worker? No.
