Hogs are incongruous creatures, grotesque even. Downright offensive to most. Especially the ones dressed as humans.
You’ve seen them. Running their big hog mouths, squealing, grunting and oinking about the place.
Most hogs, obnoxious as they are, tend to be very, very stupid, until of course, a smart one comes along.
And then, ever so often, a really shrewd one comes along, still oinking, but sophisticated enough to actually organize other, dumber hogs.
Here in Orange County, where there is no shortage of pigs and hogs, we have seen the emergence of a particularly sophisticated hog named, Skeeter. Skeeter is so smooth, he was able to use the over-your-dead body approach and leverage himself into power.
Relentless, Skeeter took great pains to ensure that no other hogs, especially those from the rival Basque Pig sect, fondly called Pie Noir du Pays basque or the Ass Black Limosin hogs, would threaten or challenge his ascent to power. So he organized them too.
Sadly, the historically out-of-favor Ass Black Limosin hogs never saw what was coming until they had been entirely eviscerated. Crushed, they went along, and now meaningless, their main role today is that of spectator.
Not satisfied, Skeeter decided to organize all other like-thinking, ambitious hogs and would use their get-togethers to berate and chastise, until all locally ambitious hogs would abandon their dreams of hogdom and just go along to get along.
Mission complete with a secure base of power, our Skeeter can go about, snouting about. Big hog ambitions have no bounds.
But, we all know that a hog’s nose, will never wear out.
