Be the pig.

Sometimes it’s necessary.

Snort if you will.

Blog Atophy Award (Created by Ally Bean,The Spectacled Bean.com)

Wise to embrace the piggy.

Wallow in that pen of wisdom.

Don’t weight until fried up.

The trough has to be slopped sometime.

Just prudent to know when to step in.

Sometimes you need to be piggy with your time.

So Philosopher Mouse will be unplugged a few daze. Hoofing over to check on people. Roads reopening, power back, but internet may be sparse.

Hope to catch up on some blog reading. (I haven’t forgotten you. Email notification seems to be working again)

Monday’s post will be delayed. (Snort. I heard that)

Truth be pointedly toed, there’s bound to be something around here unpoked.

So root around previous posts if so amused.

Entertaining reading is easier than finding a needle in a haystack.

• Fill your dreams with fractal jewels from Buddhakat
• Dream what it would be like to produce art like Snoring Dog Studio or jwms1’s From the Drawing Board
• See what Frank’s’ current angle is, what Wild Susie is riding, Pied Type‘s latest fantastic find, or what Hook’s trapped in font)

Whoa. A bit of a crowd there. A fun bunch worth sitting at the table with.

This little piggy needs to sleep it off.

Now don’t go hog wild like the little Australian piggy guy. 

He chugged some 18 stolen beers and then tried to bully a cow. (Who was probably moo-ing protests like “Milk does a body good”. )

Here’s the pig out story if you missed it.

He was probably just celebrating Kiwi’s success at the America’s Cup.

Aussies are understandably proud of their neighbors. (And there is no truth to the rumor that Elladeewords gave this particular swine the booze)

Oink in peace, little wild one.

So see ya’ soon. Carve out a little piggy time yourself for you and yours.

Yours in bacon.

Phil, the Philosopher Mouse of the Hedge

Be piggy with your time even if there’s a woof at the door. Down Molly. Down!
