Aporkolyspe Festival: Sounds Fun!

There is an Aporkolyspe Festival in New York tomorrow. Chefs will be given entire pigs that they will prepare in different ways for eating. It makes this dog's mouth water just thinking about all that delicious meat that will be available. They are also featuring many different craft beers that are made by small brewers. Personally, I don't care about the beer, but I would love to attend for the meat. Before you get your taste buds ready to rush to New York to the Festival, it is sold out. Yeah, I am bummed out over it. Just when a dog finds something interesting to do on a Saturday, you find that others who have known about it longer have already bought all available tickets. I'm not quite sure that my humans would have taken me to New York for a festival anyway, but a dog can hope. Anyway, maybe there will be one next year, and this dog will be watching because I think I could eat an entire pig myself. I just hope it isn't that Miss Piggy character because she seems nice. For those who want to find out more about this event, and hopefully, be watching for it next year if they have one, here is the web address:

Miss Piggy and Kermit Answer Fox News

I will start this blog by stating that I am not a fan of Fox News. Therefore, I never watch it. However, when Fox News accused the recent muppet movie of being anti-oil and anti-corporation, I thought they had really went over the edge. That kind of reporting is the reason I don't watch their show. Fans of the muppets will be happy to know that Kermit and Miss Piggy have issued a statement regarding Fox News. They are not anti-oil or anti-corporation. Big oil companies and other corporations are not bad in themselves, but they do cause problems when they get too greedy-a fact which also applies to individuals. This is why I consider Fox an anti-news program. When I watch the news, I don't want opinion, I want facts. I'll decide my opinion for myself. It isn't like Fox is hiring dogs to give their opinions. Here is the web address for those who want to hear it from Kermit and Miss Piggy's own words.

Max, George Clooney's Pet Pig

Today I am going to discuss some little known trivia about the making of the movie, Batman and Robin, which starred George Clooney. This movie was made back when Clooney's pet pig, Max was still alive. Clooney loved Max, and credited Max for saving his life in an Earthquake. As it turned out, Clooney went along with the script; but he did have a few suggestions which, for some odd reason, were not used by the studio. He wanted to change the name of Batman to Batpig, and have a pig emblem on his costume instead of a bat. His car would be the Sueymobile, he would respond only to the "pig signal", and he would communicate via ham radio. He wanted his love interest to be called Hog Sow, and be played by none other than Miss Piggy. Robin kept saying "Holy Pressed Ham" Batman. One of the villians in the movie was the Butcher. Have you met a pig yet who didn't think the Butcher wasn't a villian? Even Arnold, the pig from Green Acres didn't like the Butcher. It is hard to understand why the studio didn't decide to go with these suggestions, but they didn't and they ended up making a mediocre Batman movie when they could have had a blockbuster, Batpig movie.

There were humans who complained about the costumes having nipples, but Mr. Freeze was one of the villians so I think that would be a natural reaction to the cold.

All joking aside, it is nice to see someone who loves their pet so much. Max died a few years ago, and I know that he is in Hog Heaven now waiting to be reunited his George, his human.
