9/2/2005: Pig race



We've seen this sort of thing before, but why not more of it? xoB and WaPo send along this item and it says this race took place at the Montana State Fair. No word on who the pigs are, or who won.

I like me some pigs. I've heard they are very intelligent. We had them when I was a kid but I hated them 'cause I had to carry food and water to them for half a mile.
Maybe I'll wait till tommorrow to cook those pork chops.

Looks like yellow blanket was ahead but then started playing to the camera - while blue blanket definitely has a smirk of wry satisfaction on his lips as he takes the lead - who would have guessed that pigs could be so, well, human...? (apart from most of the Cellar members, that is...)
