Pigs are great, except when they are alive. But I wonder what that pork tastes like. Probably very good.

My cousin that's the actual farmer doesn't keep any animals. My cousin that's left the farm started keeping a small number of pigs after he retired from being a cop. We didn't make the obvious joke because we wanted free bacon.

We didn't get bacon though. But people who were nearby did.

I will likely be spending the night in what I think is your hometown in a few days time. Will be on the lookout.

So does posting on Unfogged count as going viral? Have we made the pig herders' wish come true??

I think it's been a while since we counted for that.

Don't pee on the shamrock. Have fun. I've been away too long to recommend anything with assurance, but the Holiday Inn Express is probably still the nicest hotel in town and there's now an indigenous hipster population who sell coffee and very expensive mugs.

By "indigenous", I mean that people I went to high school with know them, not that they are Native Americans.

I can't find out how many pigs there are, but when I left there was one site with tens of thousands.

It interested me that umbrellas are part of their standard equipment. Can't think of any other examples of that.

Maybe no one else spends that much time outside with a free hand in a rainy place?

Many N European and S S American herders? Before we even consider sunny climes.

Mary Poppins' umbrella seemed important for... something. (Contract enforcement?)

North American herders are riding horses. One hand for the reins, one for the gun.

I'm trying to follow current politics, but I'm confused. If you refer to "somebody's bleach blond bad built butch body", does the "bad built butch body" refer to the hair still or to the somebody?

Stalinists, famously in favor of term limits.

Wow, I'm so glad that this was brought to my attention.
