Why can't they just say "I wanted to put boots on my pig, so I did" instead of making up that absurd story about just happening to have four perfect boots lying around?

let's hope they remember to take them off before they toss her into the mechanical separator. nobody wants galoshes in their hot dogs.

I had a roommate in college who loved pigs and wallpapered her half of the room with pictures of cute pigs. As a result of being subjected to so much pig cuteness, I now very strongly dislike pictures of cute pigs.

@6 Your roommate is an awful person for ruining this for you.

@6: We had someone in our office a few years ago who did the same thing in her cubicle with pictures of kittens. I thought years from now she'll be the star of some gruesome "demented lady with hundreds of cats in her house" story in the local news.

Which reminds me--what's your roommate doing now?

@9 She was "born again" and is now a fundamentalist Christian. I don't believe she's a demented pig lady with hundreds of pigs running around her house, but I could be wrong...

@9 -- "Jesus is the easter pig."

I saw that on a poster in Berkeley in 1991 and it stuck with me ever since. Who knew it would be relevant in 2008? Damn...

@10 -- I meant you. Fuck. No more posting drunk. I mean it.

I think.

It's cute, but it looks really awkward and annoying for the pig. Imagine if it was you walking through mud with a pair of diving flippers on your feet. Not fun. Unless you are into that for some reason.
