Response from Parkinsaw, MI, on the continuing saga of the Pigs in Residence: The Fabled Flying Pigs have landed, and are currently in seclusion pending a thorough examination by a local vet. It was decided to forestall any formal reception until they have rested and have been fed. Construction continues apace on the new public-viewing area, within the secured Sanctuary, which will permit the creatures to be seen and heard. As of now, plans are under way for them to perform a brief fly-by at the Parka-Thon held over the 4th of July. The Parcel Post gang caused considerable ruckus when they first arrived, before they led to their quarters in the Sanctuary. They had never seen nor experienced such luxury in their piggy little lives. Said one of the more boistrous Parcel Pigs: "HBO! We got HBO!" (Wait 'til they find out they'll also have Showtime Extreme). At the reception station where they were processed, accomodations were somewhat spartan, including some uncomfortable cots. But now, in their permanent quarters, they love their new beds and menu. The perceived jealousy between the Parcel Post Pigs and the Fabled Flying Pigs failed to materialize. Some credit for this must be given to Chubby LaBarre, President of the Parkinsaw Sty-King Group, formed earlier in the year to help promote the image of the pig in view of all the sacrifices the pigs have made to help finding a cure for Parkinson's. It seems that Chubby, with Dudly Doowrong in tow, prevailed upon the Flying PIgs to promise free rides for the Parcel Post Pigs, who are now so excited about this that they can hardly sleep. Isn't it wonderful when there's peace in the valley? Both the Flying Pigs and the Parcel Post Pigs, and even the Mutant Geese, are all looking forward to the visit by Super Porker, Porky Porkinson, as well as the lovely Porquetta, to Parkinsaw as soon as their busy schedule permits. We're certain that we can arrange some rides on the Flying Pigs for Porky and Porquetta. We couldn't confirm that today since the Flying Pigs are all watching Porky Pig cartoons, eating Twinkies and sipping Levolagers.
