September 29, 2006: Entertaining pigs
http://cellar.org/2006/racingpigs.jpg
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. http://cellar.org/2006/divingpig.jpg They still have diving in Melbourne. Now, interestingly... http://cellar.org/2006/divingpig3.jpg This shot showed up in Yahoo!'s Most Emailed images, and it turns out to be from a diving pig exhibition... http://cellar.org/2006/divingpig2.jpg In Nanjing, China! Uhh... is that pig tattooed? http://cellar.org/2006/scramblingpiglets.jpg 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. http://cellar.org/2006/scramblingpiglets2.jpg 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.

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

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.

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" ?
