When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be a British Pig Executive

Sorry. Can’t be amused. Pigs are reckoned to be about as intelligent as a three year old. Which puts them out ahead of most dogs (dachshunds) though not all (pugs). Cats are a different matter being mostly composed of spite and venom. How we bring animals like pigs into a life of torture is the issue. As feed prices rise farmers will kill off most of their animals to stay in business. There will be a glut then a famine.

I’m interested that Babe was such a successful film and yet my godson only eats bacon (an absolute dereliction of duty on the part of his parents who should be teaching him to eat tofu). What kind of cognitive dissonance does that bespeak? (there’s a word you never thought you’d see on a trash blog like this) Instead of worrying about the sanctity of marriage it might be more appropriate to worry about the lives of those animals who will show up as barbecue chunk shrink-wrapped packages at the Piggly-Wiggly.

If God made all aren’t we accountable?

@ManchuCandidate: Thank you for sharing. But that’s my point. You have no idea my agony as I face the task of making an omelet from local farm chickens. To eat an egg just laid is so divine I can’t become entirely vegan but I can get on my high horse and opinionate all over the place.

Dogs look up to us.
Cats look down at us.
Pigs is equal.

Limey saying.

Plus Sainsbury’s is a totally fabulous supermarket. We have nothing like it near New York.

@Benedick: cooked w/ eggs warm from the hen once – nothing like it. And no, I cannot give up bacon, sausage, and the rest.

They can have my bacon when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

@blogenfreude: I bet you said that about sex.

and what of Miss Piggy?
i’m as anxious to eat pig as i am anxious to try road kill.
of course i’m with Benedick, as always, in saying to you carnivores , EWWW
they know not what is civilized.
i am forbidden to eat it, which is the only Jewish thing i do …and by accident.
how about sheep? they’re dumb. do you feel better then about eating the little soft sweet baby lambs? just slide that mint sauce over and call it chops?
EWWWW.
quid pro quo, Clarisse

@baked:
Hey, how you doing?

I guess Peggy won’t have to pay housewives to fight over canned ham anymore.

@JNOV:
Nope… Mad Men meets Soylent Green

@ManchuCandidate: Whoa. Good one!

@ManchuCandidate: Help a sistah out.

I know I missed the last two (yeah, series finale) of Weeds.

I think I caught the season finale of Breaking Bad.

So, what’s next on the rotation? The Walking Dead or Mad Men? I’m confused by TMC/AMC.

@JNOV:
Walking Dead in Oct (natch)

Mad Men early 2013?

Breaking Bad Final season 2013

@ManchuCandidate:
hi sweety, thanks for asking. i’ve been lurking with the black dog’s teeth stuck in my ass, otherwise the same. xo

@ManchuCandidate: @JNOV:
SUNDAY: DEXTER and HOMELAND.season openers MUST SEE TV showtime.

they have this dumb app (showtime) where you can talk to other people watching it. pffttt. …..so, uh…what do you think Deb will do?????!!!!!!!

@baked:
The black dog can be hard to shake.

Been going through that a bit myself with this extremely long stretch of unemployment. Only way I’ve kept myself from strangling various HR people is to do things I’ve enjoyed doing to keep a fleeting sense of accomplishment.

@ManchuCandidate:

yeah, i wanted to ask about the job hunt, but let it lay. you must be going crazy …it’s so boring not working too. i miss it. we’ve applied for a corporation permit here which may mean a work permit for me. fingers crossed and for you too. break a leg. i wish you success !!!!!
