But I still love pigs, especially the one in the insurance ads. Best one showed him riding down the mountain, squealing for all he was worth; he stops squealing long enough to say, "Pure adrenalin" and then resumes squealing. Since I relate more to him, I like the pig (and his life philosophy) better than the duck.

Should be strung up by his heels and beaten to within an inch of his life. That is all.

referring to another, perhaps the duck? I love Piggy because he lives life at top speed. Besides, look how the fundies accused him of impropriety with the young woman in his car. He has cred! Anybody the fundies hate, I'm gonna love.

But at least they knocked it off with squealing. I think Geico must have gotten complaints about that. I used to change the channel, it got on my nerves so bad.

brothers and cousins. My two dogs race around like mad, play fighting, sounding like they're tearing each other apart. The smaller one, Molly Maguire, has a pretend scream that sounds worse than Piggy. And it goes on half the day. Should I send your Thanksgiving Dinner invitation to someone else, then? You should've known me when I had a 1/4 Bobcat. His territorial scream would curdle milk. No other sound quite like it in the world, not even a puma.
