And notice how courteous he is! Well, at least at the end.

And speaking of wind in your face and getting carried away …

Sheep pigs are in the news this week (see them in the picture below), and people have been asking me whether I’m related to any of these odd beasts.

And I reply, “When you look at a sheep pig, you might think ‘Is it a sheep or is it a pig?’ But look at this PIG® Form-A-Funnel® Flexible Draining Tool …

Is it a funnel?

Or is it a tray?”

And they get caught up in the no-mess-oil-draining-plus wonder that is Form-A-Funnel® and all thoughts of sheep pigs evaporate.

Usually.

Sometimes, the person persists: “So really, are you related to any sheep pigs?”

Then I look the person right in the eye and say: “Yes, in fact, my extended family does include sheep pigs.”

Then I add: “Now let’s talk about YOUR rare and special relatives. Do any of them look like this?” And I show the picture below.

I just found the perfect gift for a few of my human friends. Yule love it, I Ked you not! Behold my discovery below.

I’ll never understand how you people walk around on those gigantic feet, but it’s fun to think of seeing some of those boats being clad as shown. Get home from a tough day  … kick off the work boots … slip on some holiday cheer!

Thank you, George Clooney!

You have to hoof it … oops, hand it to this animal sanctuary near Los Angeles. As wildfire moved in this week, the residents were moved to an evacuation center all ready and waiting for them. Nice!

On top of being organized, there’s a regular stream of Hollywood visitors. I wouldn’t mind a scratch behind the ears from Alicia Silverstone.

Just looking ahead … I wonder if they take retirees from industry as well as from farming?

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

But these pigs I dig!

Sheesh, I guess it never occurred to anyone that pigs can swim.

Here are just a few of the cheesy comments on a page that featured the photo below (taken by Vince Lauro for a contest).

“Related to Chicken of the Sea?”

“Swine cooler”

“When pigs fly … but when pigs swim?”

“Salt pork”

“Bay of pigs”

“Hog paddle”

Come on. I suppose you also think we don’t climb trees.

P.S. Here’s another kind of sea pig.

Ah, county fair season.

I’m leaving work early today—right after a Pigalog® photo shoot—to find me a ferris wheel and some Deep-Fried Oreos.

In Kansas, that is. My nephew’s working the Douglas County Fair.

Below is some video of him last year in Virginia. He’s the one who’s called “lively” and is slathered with Wesson and then surrenders to the little girl.

Yes, surrendered to. He knew which cutie he wanted to catch him from the moment all those kids flooded through the gate. You’ve heard of a swan dive? What you see in this video is a swine dive.
