I did, however, get their attention today when I put the following picture up on the projector:
That's right, Monster Pig, weighing in at an astounding 1,051 pounds and bagged several weeks ago by 11-year old Jamison Stone in Alabama. Jamison says he "probably won’t ever kill anything else that big.” Smart kid. Jamison's dad says they'll probably make sausage out of the beast. 700-800 pounds of sausage. Holy crap.
It's literally the only thing I can think of to blog about as I'm just flabbergasted at the size of this thing. I mean, really. It's like something out of a horror movie.
Incidentally, if giant pigs are your thing, there have been plenty more:

um, creepy.
I am blogging about the same thing! Nothing brings people together like a big hog.
Tattoo says... saw one that looked like a black love seat go across a sandbar about five miles north of Natchez Ms. Made me hungry to see it walking around with what i figure to be 450 lbs of bacon, chops, amd roasts.
