Ironically, we are faced with a feral pig invasion over here.

Sheldon mentioned on facebook that this is one of the Mayan End-of-Times prophecies.

Congress. It takes a pig to know a pig.

When was the last time you saw a pig wearing only a barrel? Only the poorest pigs do that. So who really is pork barreled?

Since all these articles and "reality" TV shows, about zillions of feral hogs rooting up the south/southwest, looks to me like there's a fortune on the hoof out there.
Maybe even a new show... Hog, the bacon hunter.

Why so much hate of pigs. Everyone knows white meat is better. The KKK said so.

I read there won't be a bacon shortage. Bacon will cost more, sure, but we're not going to be waiting in bacon lines as if it's the 70s and we need a tank of gas.

No worrys, baconites. You'll just need to save up a bit more.
