Don’t Come Knocking On My Door

Today for my afternoon nap, dad tucked me in bed with some celery and carrots and I watched The Three Little Pigs on my flatscreen.  I know it’s old school from the 1930’s but I love Mr. Disney and his movies.  This is like the upteenth time I’ve seen movie and I have some thoughts.

Let’s talk about the pig names first.  Practical Pig, Fiddler Pig and Fifer Pig.  Really?   Did you know that they even had names?  Couldn’t come up with something unique like Bacon, huh?  Ham, Sushi and Maxwell were taken?

So Fiddler Pig plays the fiddle and Fifer Pig plays the flute.  – puts my hoove to my head – how original.  They went the cheap way and made their houses of straw and sticks.  They did it quickly so they could play their lovely musical instruments all day long.  What a party that must have been!

Then let’s discuss something that’s kind of ironical.  Did anyone else notice this scene in the movie?  Do you see “Father” in the photograph on the wall?  Really?  Mr. Disney bravo to you for having such a wicked sense of humor.  Goodness, it took me almost 3 times watching to catch this.  I asked mom what did it mean?  Was that their father?  I didn’t quite understand.  Mom said that when I got older she would explain.  Translation – it’s something bad.

Leave it to Practical Pig to build his house of brick.  He tried to warn his two little brothers who wanted to play all day but they didn’t listen.  They went on with their little jamboree while Practical Pig spent the extra money and time and built for the future not for the moment.Then enter the big bad wolf.  Practical Pig tried to warn Fiddler and Fifer Pig but they didn’t want to listen.  That big bad wolf puffed and huffed and blew the house of sticks and house of straw down.  What did the brothers do?  Run to brother’s house to have him save them.  Of course, Practical Pig *always* has an exit plan.  Big Bad Wolf didn’t want to listen and tried his best to get in the house finally thinking he had a way through the fireplace.  I bet he was surprised when he dropped in for dinner and HE was the dinner!

So bottom line on this story.  Apparently this big bad wolf didn’t meet my ancestors – PigBrutus, PigSpartacus and PigDynomite. They don’t put up with much bull from anyone. They learned from great, great, great, great Uncle PiggyJohnWayne.

So, do you see the story in a different light now?  Do you understand my thoughts?  What are your views?

 

 

 

 

Happy National Doughnut Day!

What a wonderful day.  Not only is it Friday but it’s also National Donut Day!  Who could ask for anything more?  It doesn’t matter what kind you like – partake in a doughnut today.  There’s many places even offering a free doughnut just for this one day – National Donut Day.  In our area, Krispy Kreme is offering a free one.  So for today, splurge and eat one to celebrate.  But the main question is – can you just eat one?

History of National Donut Day – did you know that this day was created by the Salvation Army in 1938?  It was created as a fundraiser to help the needy during the Great Depression and to honor the women who served doughnuts to military members during World War I.  About 250 Salvation Army volunteers provided assistance to America troops in France during the war.  And the kicker – Salvation Army
s’ Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance cleverly thought of frying the doughnuts in the troops’ helmets.  How creative!

Whatever flavor you decide to pick – enjoy this holiday.  I’m sure that little chompers we call Bacon will enjoy a couple.  Heck, I might even too if the Hotel Thompson throws me out a couple – hint hint.

Happy National Doughnut Day!

My Cuteness…

 

I’m not sure why but I get a *lot* of requests for pictures of my tail and feet.  Is there something going on there that I don’t know about?  They look the same to me as they usually do.  

The other night mom had to use her toes when she was playing the little piggy goes to the market.  It was really comical.  Did you know that she is ticklish?  After I found this out, I had to keep on picking on her and touching her toes. 

I asked her why mine were different than hers.  She told me that God blessed my little feet and they are special.  She even said that God gave me a tail to be special.  She really wants a tail.  I can tell from the way she talked.  She has tail envy.  See that’s why I love mom.  She always tells me the truth on these matters.

So, for all that have requested, here is a picture of my blessed toes and tail.  Don’t be jealous cause you don’t have one.  We are all special in some way. 

 

I’m Feeling So Much Better

I feel so much better this morning.  I went to bed at my usual time last night, around 9:00PM.  I was down for the night and didn’t get up one time.  I was very proud of myself… as well I’m sure mom was happy with that too.  This morning, I was bright eyes and bushy tailed.  Back to my old self.  It’s a wonder what a day will do for you in getting you back to your spunky self. 

I even got to try a new food.  Mom gave me sweet pickles.  mmm – they were awesome.  I’m all about new foods.  You know me.  I’m not that picky. 

 

Take that Twilight

I know I talk about me a lot but let me tell you something about mom.  She’s a Twilight freak.  Not the time of day – the movie.  You know it – the vampires, wolves oh my movie.  I’m not saying that she’s read the books or seen the movies too much but she quotes the lines a lot.  She knows the characters.  And let me tell you something – she collects these figures that look like them.  She calls them her collectible Barbies.  Shakes head – I think mom has gone over board.  So, I have to have an intervention with her – snort giggles.

One of the main characters in these books is a girl called Bella.  Beautiful girl.  But, my take on Bella is so much better.  I have to pick on mom with this one.  I’m going to post and then go into hiding.  When she sees it, she’ll find me.  I’m not giving her the password to take this picture off here either.  SNORT – enjoy!

 

Snort – HA – LOL – Too Funny

Today, I’ve been roaming the house and playing with the i-Pad when daddy has napped.  Today is his free day so he didn’t have any honey do lists as he calls them.  I go tired of playing games so I been surfing you tube and the internet.  There is some funny stuff out there!  I came across some pig jokes and I thought I would share.  When I read them, I was rolling all over the floor laughing.  I was laughing so hard that my big belly started hurting.  It was so funny. 

 

What kind of pig knows karate?  A pork chop!

What is the difference between swine flu and bird flu?  Swine flu you need oinkment and bird flu you need tweetment.

Why did the pig take a bath?  He heard the farmer say hogwash.

What is a pigs favorite ballet? Swine Lake

What do you get when you cross a pig with a dinosaur?  Jurassic Pork

What do you call a sunburnt pig?  Bacon

Hope you enjoyed these!  Weren’t they hoglarious? Bacon out!

 

Really, I’m Not

.

I had a couple of emails and comments yesterday about some of my pictures.  I loved it – please keep them coming.  You know you can always catch me privately on my email at BaconThompson@gmail.com

Yes, I’m a hip pig – I have my own email account.  Do you really think that is unusual when I have my own web page?  Snort

I like to think of myself as a smart piglet.  I’m computer oriented.  I often ‘surf’ the net for new things – funny pictures I like to share.  There are even a couple of games out there that I like to play on the i-Pad.  Pig Dice, Pig Shot, Speedy Pigs, Pig Shuffle… just to name a few.  Don’t think I can’t play – I can make these hooves move.

So I digress… back to really I’m not.  Some of the comments I got yesterday said that it looked like you could see my tongue or that it was sticking out.  Honestly, it’s not.  What looks like my tongue is actually markings on my beautifully strong snout.  My bottom lip per say is underneath my snout. 

Another question that was brought up recently, and I have to laugh at it, asked me if I had teeth.  Yes, I have teeth.  As a piglet you have 28 teeth and as a full grown piggy you have 44 teeth.  Mom counts my teeth often when she brushes them.  Right now I’m at 24 so I’m still calling myself a piglet.  Heck, I am still a baby.  I’m barely getting 9 months now.  And yes, I use those teeth to eat.  They help me get through my carrots, celery, my apples and piggy pellets.

So there you go – more than what you wanted to know about me.  Keep the questions coming – love them…. and yeah, it gives me something to do when daddy is sleeping – snort.

 

I’m Sleeping Here

In the morning times, I wake mom up.  She gets up and feeds me and then I go back to sleep in my bed in my room.  This morning mom snuck back into my room and started snapping pictures of me sleeping.  I mean come on mom, I know I cry for you in the morning and wake you up  to feed you.  But, what’s up with all of that flashing.  I see little dots now.

<< This is me.  I snuggled in with my blankie.  Yep, that’s Scooby Doo.  One of my hero’s and favorite cartoons that I watch on my tv frequently.  I cuddled in to bed and wrap myself up with my blankie on top.  You can call me the original “Pig in a Blankie”.  Don’t you love the markings on my snout?  And my little white patch on my head.  They make me – well me. 

 

This picture here >>

mom took my blankie off of me and caught me *trying* to go back to sleep.  Sometimes I lay on my sides and stretch out, other times I sleep like this.  I curl my little hooves up under me and go out to nighty nighty land. 

Well, there you go.  The sleeping positions of me.  Have a great day!

 

Bed Time Antics

 

Momma says I’m just like a small child.  She put me to bed last night and tucked me in.  I heard her in her room getting ready to lay down.  I called for her to come back and see me.  There’s this little whine that I do to get mom’s attention and she knows I’m calling just her.  I got out of bed when she came in.  I didn’t really *need* anything.  I just my mommy.  We cuddled a little, she kissed me good night again and tucked me back into bed.  She went on to her room getting ready for bedtime too.

A few minutes later, I called for her again.  I heard her rustling around in her room and I again met her at the door of my room.  She was kind and we snuggled again, she kissed me good night and tucked me back into bed.

Well you know what happened next, right?  🙂  I called her again.  She came back into the room and she didn’t fuss.  We snuggled again, she kissed my snout and tucked me back into bed.  But this time she told me she wasn’t come back anymore tonight.  I knew what she meant and I went to sleep.

See, I guess I am like a small child.  Where a small child might say, “Mom, I need a glass of water” or “Mom, I need to go to the bathroom” or “Mom, I need you”, I just call for her in my little whiny voice.  It worked.  She came back every time.  I think I have her wrapped around my hooves where I want her.  Evil Pig Smile 🙂
