We are now officially halfway there -

Is there a separate list for take-home volunteers? I want to sign that list, too!

I heard a rumor that this pig is one that previously was Peter Nap's step-nephew's pet pot-belly big from 2002. Is that true?

Piggie-bags will be by lottery - you give me the next winning lottery number and you get take-home. (Seriously, there will be zip-lock bags.)

The identity of the pig will not be revealed. However, locals have been discussing a certain "Help Wanted" sign outside the county administration building.

stay safe.

I have an email informing me that I have won a lottery to which I do not remember entering - I will assign it to you.

To which county to you refer? Surry? Henrico? There are so many worthy.

If we were giving an award for traveling the farthest you probably are in contention for the prize.

Death will not be accepted as an excuse unless approved three weeks in advance of the date of death. All requests for death shall be submitted on Form 0N-773H.

What is the difference between a "serious emergency" and a run-of-the-mill emergency? When attempting to answer that, please keep in mind that the phrase "Walk it off" can be applied to anything except death. (Any person who suffers death and then walks it off is subject to unannounced and repeated head shots.)

stay safe.

When I read that, I couldn't help but think of the bar scene in Shaun of the Dead, where they repeatedly bludgeon the zombie bartender to the beat of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." Probably the funniest scene in that movie, I was rolling. I had to youtube it again after thinking about it for some laughs.

Oh, also, confirming attendance for myself, plus the wife and our little diaper destroyer. I get off leave and return to work in the AM, so I'll ask my buddy if he and his girlfriend would like to attend, then get back to you.

1. I expect a 3ft tall trophy for the longest distance traveled and nothing less.

2. Serious emergency would be something like me or family member getting in an accident where there are only hours left to live... as much as I like BBQ, I don't think I would want to spend my/our last hours on the way to go get some BBQ. I would still make my way over there if there are severed limbs..... though I will need help eating food if both of my hands are gone... oooor I could just shove my face on a plate and eat it that way. hmmm.

3. If for whatever reason death occurs and I "walk it off" you guys have my permission (although not needed at that point) to use me as target practice.

if Jesus shows up he's gonna be pissed about those head shots! ;)

Hay-zoose will have to wait till he gets out of the park to do any tequila shots.

BTW, did you read about the sorority that tried to do jello shooters with supersoakers? Didn't come out right.

stay safe.

....

Have you noticed the number of attendees that are bringing their spawn? You may get something three feet tall that you were not expecting.:uhoh:

In the meantime, I've sent someone to saw two feet off the trophy in order to accommodate your demand. Just hope he remembers to take it off from the bottom.

stay safe.

Wait a minute. Nobody told me there was a trophy!

Maybe I need to reconsider my previous response to this invitation. You could even leave the bottom two feet on the trophy.

Skidmark,

While I would love to attend, that 5600 mile round trip drive is not gonna happen in one weekend.

However, I do have 21lbs of pork thawing in the refrigerator right now, to be put on the smoker on Saturday (if it thaws by then). When it is done, I will eat some of it in your honor, sir.
