Oh my God, the picture of them all squeezed together is the cutest thing I've ever seen. :squee:

I wonder how big they grow.

The smartest person in England has bred a new kind of pet pig, one that fits in the palm of your hand!

That's what you get for living too close to the North pole! :shakemagnet:

If their output is as virulent as that of their larger bretheren....I'll pass.

Am I the only one who thinks those things are butt ugly?

It's like a porkchop on the hoof.

Only it poops. As already noted, on that basis, I'll pass.

I think they are interesting, but not cute. Aesthetics aside, I would also be afraid of the smelly pig poop. I've been close to one to many pig farm already.
I always wonder how many problems pets bred extra small or extra large have too.

Sure they are cute...but have you guys ever smelled pig shit? Nothing in this world smells as bad as pig shit!

I don't know about that. Once there was some tomato juice in a jar that got left in the cabinet for about six months. When it finally was noticed again, there was a beige foam at the top. I made the mistake of thinking the jar could be washed out and saved. Opening the lid was enough to make me gag. Not only did the jar get resealed and thrown away, I lit a whole book of matches to kill the smell.

Also: I used to work in an industrial chicken farm a few summers. They hatched eggs, but some eggs rotted instead of hatching. When you had to remove the eggs that didn't hatch some would explode and sling foul smelling stuff everywhere.

You, Sir, are a master of the passive voice.

You, Sir, are a master of the passive voice.The words seem to flow better that way. Using 'I' so many times in a paragraph just doesn't look right to me and in this case, the point of the anecdote wasn't my actions but rather the corrupted jar.

Oh, I'm sorry. I usually use the passive voice intentionally when something is set ablaze, left to rot, shorted out, or otherwise defaced or damaged as a result of poorly thought out and/or irresponsible behaviors.

Once when I was a kid, a hard boiled egg was saved in the back of my closet through the summer months until it was completely rotted, and it was then gently tapped on my knee to ensure that it would break on impact when it was thrown at my little sister with whom I shared the room. Unfortunately, the shell was significantly weaker than expected, so rather than simply introducing a small stress fracture, the whole egg disintegrated all over me and my bed, coating everything in a putrid greenish black slime. I'll bet that smelled worse and was less cute than a tiny little pig.

Oh, I'm sorry. My cool points fly away faster than they accumulate...

You're probably more aware of what you're doing than I am. I had to look up passive voice earlier, but it seems to be a good thing.

Those do seem like good usages of the voice.
