Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

OK, CNN is calling VT for Obama. But that's like the least surprising result ever.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay, if a three panel painting is called a trypdich, what's the word for a two panel?

Is Mrs. Santa working as a dominatrix now??

Hah! Well, I DID pose as Ms Santa for the "Seattle Men of Leather" at the leather club, and those boots would've been perfect!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Miniature Pigs: Pets of the Future

The smartest person in England has bred a new kind of pet pig, one that fits in the palm of your hand! Chris Murray's Pennywell Miniature pigs recently gave birth to eight piglets at his farm in Devon. According to this article on abcnews.com, Murray wanted a kind of pig "that children can enjoy giving...a cuddle." Hmm....creepy.

This is where the meat for those tiny little sandwiches they serve at tea time comes from...

Anyhoo, Murray is trying to sell them in pairs so they always have a companion and claims that they are easy to house train. He just sold a couple to some British celebrity that we've never heard of at about $150 US (1.5 UK Pounds) a pop.

They are kinda' cute - in a miniature piglet kind of way. And if the whole pet thing doesn't work out - free bacon!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to know how big the pigs get. They have to reach a certain size or bacon's not practical. Still, you could roast your own personal pig like a Cornish hen. That could be cool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

With a little crabapple in its mouth!
