Thanks for that, Stuart.  That Lisa is one big pig--and only a year old!  It's great to see the thread that would not die keep going.

Speaking as a Yorkshireman, I've never encountered a "Yorkshire pig" before. It looks like a "Large white" to me. Glad they saved her, otherwise her skin would only have been used to make more banj.... ban.... , no, can't bring myself to say it.

The appearance of a giant hog story just in time for our birthdays probably portends something, but I'm at a loss to speculate what that something might be.

Perhaps I could suggest a new category for this forum:  Phrases I Never Expected to Read on Weenie Campbell.

And the first one would be: "strangely glowing meat"

now now now...  improbable stuff has always shown up on weenie, although for this one, rather than a forum of its own (not that it's a bad idea), maybe we just need a major award:

I just read that starting tomorrow, stiff penalties will be in place for anyone who releases a feral hog into the wild in Kentucky. A search turned up the following:
