MARCH 1st – NATIONAL PIG DAY!!!

Mar 01

My little sister Jill (pictured below) LOVES pigs.

And by “loves pigs” I mean she actually HATES them.

You see in my family, when you hate something that much, we never let you forget it. So back in 2002 when we found out March 1st was National Pig Day…we turned it into Jill’s day.

One year I thought I’d surprise her and had some of my friends send her cards from college, wishing her a very happy pig day. At the time Jill was in 7th grade and got about thirty cards in the mail, all sent by many people she had never met.

That’s when March 1st started getting crazy for her.

Whenever Jill calls me up to invite me over for dinner because she’s “cooking up a storm” I always know that dinner will be consisting of HOT DOGS.

Yo, Jilly, we get the hint my dear…YOU HATE PIGS, k? You need to realize that the more you rub it in our faces by cooking hot dogs, the more we’re gonna razz you on March 1st. Choose your battles.

Anyway, in light of NPD I will pass on some pig trivia for you all to ponder.
– The world pig population is approximately 857,099,000.
– Ben and Jerry feed their left over ice cream to pigs in Vermont. The pigs will devour every flavor except for Mint Oreo.
– Pigs only sleep on their right side.

Well, I am off to bed. Good night and I hope you all had a wonderful National Pig Day.

ps If I hear one more “Good Night, and Good Luck” pun in regards to the Oscars I am going to lose it.

pps George Clooney has a pet pig named Max.

    Clooney: Check
    Pig: Check
    Oscar Weekend immediately following National Pig Day: Check

    Coincidence I think not……

    I kind of want that picture of George and his pig as my desktop wallpaper, but then I think I would have a lot of explaining to do. Liphe is already too complicated.

    Good Night and Good Luck Phool.

    Well, I would have been surprised that George has a pig as a pet, but I JUST found that out last night watching the Barbara Walters special.

    Now THAT’S a coincidence…
    HHH-you

    yes, as I was typing this up I heard George go off about his pig Max and almost lost it. He must have known about Pig day and wanted to give Max some press….so yes I have to thank BW for the info.

    Hot Off The Press:

    March 3rd…oh wow…Two Choices.

    Choice #1
    “I Want You To Be Happy Day”
    Do something nice for someone…make a phone call, give a compliment, make a special meal {hot dogs anyone?}. Be kind.

    Are they saying that the other 364 days of the year are more like
    “I’m Gonna Make Myself Happy Today And Screw Everyone Else”?

    Choice #2 {sit down for this one}

    “If Pets Had Thumbs Day”
    Now imagine what it would be like if your pet had thumbs. Do you get a clear image of your pet with thumbs? Are you seeing your pet doing things with their new thumb? If so, your mind is in spirit with today.

    Note: If you have a pet monkey, you already know what it would be like for your pet to have thumbs.

    Hmmm….I’ve got the visual…George and Max chowin’ on corn on the cob together. “Pass the butter George.”

    Think I’ll go try and be nice to someone.
    Happiness
