September 29, 2006: Entertaining pigs

The Royal Melbourne Show, in the city of the same name, is where the original IotD diving pig came from. Here it is this year and the pigs are racing. I believe we've had racing pigs before, but none so impressive.

They still have diving in Melbourne. Now, interestingly...

This shot showed up in Yahoo!'s Most Emailed images, and it turns out to be from a diving pig exhibition...

In Nanjing, China! Uhh... is that pig tattooed?

Meanwhile in Deerfield, NH, it's the "Pig Scramble". The kids have three minutes to catch one of the piglets in a ring and get it into the bag.

I'm sure they'd rather be diving.

I dunno, it looks like the kids are having fun... ;)

Those are cute BLTs. I mean pigs.

post #3 and we've already got em slaughtered and smoked... Are you proud of yourself young man?

Pigs are so cute! I think a little bitty one would make a great pet...but I believe my wife has other thoughts :spam1:

<--It's redneck haiku

what I want to see is full sized pig diving! "CANONBALL"

and another thing I just have to add

"Some Pig"

Humble?

I always wished to have a pig...but then my older brother moved back in...be careful what you wish for.

I was expecting to see an audience of pigs watching some sort of performance...

Wow, nice list Emrikol. It looks like the rounding-the-bend photo has been well-established as the pig race money shot.

Radiant!

PS

I am never, ever eating pork products again.

And this time I mean it.

While reading Charlettes Web did anyone else catch themselves thinking "these farmers are the dumbest people on the planet" ?
