Oct 6, 2009: Piguses

What, you've never seen a Piguses?



Sure, Piguses were big in Greek mythology... oh wait, er... um, Pig uses...







Now you can scarf that bacon, wolf down that ham sandwich, and rip through those rinds, without worrying about the rest of the pig going to waste. Although piggy might be going to your waist, but I digress. Nothing goes to waste but the oink.

Omg. I wonder if the vegetarian I know is aware of how many products are made with pig parts! I was totally unaware.

Pigs... is there anything they can't do?

BTW - they forgot to mention before the pig was chopped up it was a diver and a racer.

First rule of oink club...

Didn't the Beatles sing an ode to the pig? I wanna hold your ham

That's just not kosher.

And, please remember that glorius item SPAM, and all of its relatives:
SPIM, SPUM, and last but not least SPOM.

Oh, surely somebody can come up with a use for the "oink". Not me, but somebody else. Might it be the audio for a perpetual motion machine?

I once turned a collection of oinks into a dinosaur sound effect. I don't know if that counts as a use though, because the game was pretty useless.

Oh, wow--you worked on Oink-A-Saurus?!

Actually, I'm going to send you a $0.005 check, because I downloaded a pirated copy of that game...

#36...inspired Rocket Ham by Elton John. Oh dear. Is that end piece really called the chump? Never heard of it (as a pig part).

Many vegetarians are aware of gelatine and where it comes from and what it is used for, and we tend to make choices about which products to use accordingly.
