What the hell's going on Slimbo,

Good looking set you got there. Hmmmmm, don't you already have a 1940s superspeed in nice shape? Oh oh, starting to collect duplicates eh? Yeah, I know what comes next, and it ain't pretty......heh. I bet poor Mrs Mongoose is gonna be less than happy to see another razor in your shaving arsenal.

This new one is my reserve one. You know like the fatboy....you taught me all I know.

Dear OJD, (i liked the show pig in the dress and make up too but story woill have to wait...)

What's up MM,

You are an excellent judge of beautiful show pigs, and how they should look. The one you're talking about was raised in my home. She even won first place in the local 4F competition of 'Most Beautiful Pig'! You can imagine how many entrants she hadda beat out to win this award. Sigh, my only regret was not bothering to house break her, but she was just too cute to disipline in any way.

Had her for dinner a couple weeks ago. Actually, I cured and smoked some of her tastiest parts for a treat during the summer months. Yeah, with a pig that pretty, you don't wanna eat her all at once.

Here's the pic once again:
