That has generally been the consensus among my farming uncles and cousins. And according to some the most dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 My daughter was in the color-guard in college. Our friends came to a football game and said, "Which one is she?" I said, "The skinny one with the pony-tail." Then they slapped me in the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And according to some the most dangerous. OK. Here's the story, again (I just watched Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, so now I'm disturbed and have to get it out): Mom and Dad went to a firehall dance (Texas). The third-place doorprize was weekend in Austin. Second place was a golf-cart. Mom won first place.... a pig. It was as big as a football. A little obnoxious squeally thing. She fed it with a bottle and made it a nest in the kitchen. Right next to the dogs. It's name was "Pig". So then it got, like, 600 lbs. As big as volkswagen. It was never violent or mean. It was kind of cuddly. In a 600 lb kind of way. So now you open the kitchen door. And the pig is right there. And it wants to come in. It's coming in. Don't try to stop it, or get in the way, because you will get hurt. So now the pig's in the kitchen. Not my problem. "Mom! The pig's in the living room." I'm going to work. If the pig takes your beer, just let him have it. Don't put your hand down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Being a real farmer, Mom wasn't opposed to whacking her own pets. I don't know about the different kinds of pigs, but this one turned out to be a 'lard' pig. They traded it to a restaurant (Renks!) for two dinners per week for a year. The owners were tickled pink and Mom and Dad loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 So now, you're sitting at the pond trying to fish. With twenty turkeys crowding you, because they automatically know you have a tub of worms. With the biggest toms randomly pecking you in the temple and in the back of the neck, when you're not looking. And the pig. He's harder to ignore than twenty turkeys. He knows you have worms, too. Just let the damn pig have the worms and give up on fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I once saw this pig find a way-too-big copperhead. It was a pretty ugly scene. Don't F with a big pig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom never put a sweater on it, but Nana came to visit and put lipstick on it. "To prove it could be done." She was old-school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 My friends had pigs. So we'd go right into the middle of the corral. Silence Of The Lambs hadn't been invented yet, so we didn't know. And we'd foot-shove them into the electric fence, just to hear them squeal. We didn't have internet yet. It was the best we could do. (At the diner, the other night, my family was surprised to learn that I had "tipped" cows. It's not that hard. Their legs don't go that way. I don't think I earned any brownie-points with everyone.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
