The one with wings or the one with the un–tucked t–shirt?

:love:

couldn't resist.

Seattle has Pigs. Pigs. I don't get it. Pigs?

Wings.

Fellah in the untucked shirt is a little, uh, illegal.

I am clergy, but not catholic clergy.

Excellent!

Because of the Pike's Place Market Pig.

*Scratches head*

Aren't you from there?

Yesssss. It's the from here part of me that makes my head itch too, when I think of why I'd want to litter my city with pigs. I get the piggybank motif, but it's not like we've got stockyards or anything. It was a trip, they were everywhere. Maybe the jarring effect was intentional. They certainly got your attention. But each individual pig was just....out there. There wasn't a coherent Please give to the Market campaign. I don't know if that would have been better (prolly worse more commercialism).

There's a delightful history of guerrilla art here in Seattle. I wondered if this was more of it. There certainly were plenty of them. I just don't make the pigs=seattle equation without a little more background.

Herky On Parade

80 some versions of Herky, The University of Iowa's mascot. Enjoy...They were all over the place last summer. It was kind of neat.

Mickey Mice? ... Mickey Mouses? ... Mickey Meeses? ... Mickey Mices? :eyebrow:

We have large penguins like that in Oklahoma, but we should have squirrels. Oklahoma is obviously much more suited to squirrels than to penguins!

The mythical Kansas Jayhawks on Parade

The Jayhawks are in a much better pose than our (copycat) Herkys. Everytime I saw one it looked like they were flipping someone the 'bird'. Always made me giggle inside.

Baltimore currently has a nasty case of the crabs.
