PIG's Recent History

Following his recent trauma en route to Virginia, PIG was granted some R&R in California. In Virginia, April Blackmon pulled him together physically, but there were some understandable emotional scars. Relieved and looking forward to seeing California once again, he hitched a ride with the ScanVan, which made a scheduled stop in Wisconsin on the way back to California.

Wisconsin turned out to be a wrong turn for PIG. His secret hiding place in the ScanVan was discovered, and he was held for ransom, with threats of death by snowblower and eventual BBQ.

"Snowblowers are not just for snow!

"I got your PIG cemetery right here!"

PIG was smuggled out of Wisconsin in a top cabinet of the ScanVan. He escaped the snow blower treatment by the deft use of alcohol and a cribbage ploy that confounded the kidnapper into defending aces as only being counted low. In the confusion, PIG was exited to the ScanVan's interior. Driven on mostly non-Interstate roads over three days, PIG now resides peacefully in CA. The attached photo shows the love and respect he commands on the Left Coast.

The next round of excitement for PIG was the 360 degree turntable scan, which resulted in a Flash file revealing his hard earned Wounded Warrior status. There was, however, some shocking news that developed during the scan.

Shocking News!

Completely unknown to his ScanVan hosts, PIG somehow found a soulmate in CA. She was discovered when she visited him on the day he was being scanned. Apparently, ScanVan's hospitality was not enough to heal PIG's emotional scars, while her sweet disposition and understanding of his wounds were just what he needed to begin feeling normal again. Unfortunately, PIG was feeling a bit too normal, as the image below reveals.

PIG was silent on the entire matter, and we didn't want to pressure him immediately after being scanned. However, it's obvious he is doing the right thing, as each PIGlet was found to be carrying substantial coin.

We failed to capture an image of PIG's soulmate, but rest assured we'll get one soon enough.
