You had a purty good sign of the Apocalypse a couple days back, but I reckon you overlooked a better one. I saw some Reuters photos of…
Yes, yes, I know. I’ve had nightmares. You mean the dressed-up pigs?
Durn tootin’ I do!
Yeah, they dress pigs up like humans at this festival in the Philippines. I saw Zorro, a bride and groom, some boxers, then I passed out.
So you missed the piggy weddin’ song, “Days of Swine and Roses?”
Sigh. I’m getting up a petition objecting to this event. Want to sign?
Shore, but how do you send a big petition all the way to the Philippines?
I just use a Manila envelope.

The fact that the number of readers of this blog is blobbing does not justify thinking we are pig-headed enough to pun us half to death. That is really busting our chops just a bit too much, Robert. I think it’s a swine thing to do, and I expect you to focus a bit more on the pork-barrel in the future!

She’ll look beautiful trotting down the aisle.
