Reply from Parkinsaw, MI: Arrangements have been made to meet his eminence upon arrival at the Parkinsaw County Regional Airport. For security reasons, there will be no public ceremony at the airport; the schedule for the day includes a meeting with the city fathers, a tour of the Sanctuary including a hand-shake session with the Parcel Post Pigs from CT, a private meeting with the Fabled Cincy Flying Pigs, and a public ceremony during which time Porky will talk about his success with the Pennies for Parkinson's campaign. We understand that Porky is quite excited about the new Pennies' canisters, and hopes that all of us will call NPF or the Alliance to order their new collection cans. A highlight of the day will be the employment for the first time of the heretofore top secret PHATS (Pig Human Automated Translation System. Designed for use during the Bay of Pigs invasion, when PIGINT was a Pretty Popular Production Protocol Proven by Parachuting Porkers, trained pigs were dropped behind the lines into the Cuban countryside with a mission to root out troop placements. The PHATS translation system allows the various grunts, oinks and squeals to be translated into a form of Pig Latin. A transcript of the dapper Mr. Porkinson will be provided in tomorrow's Parkinsaw Chronicles. Now, Nails Noogan is keeping a watchful eye on the Parcel Post Pigs, Dudley Dowrong is manning the observation port of the Sanctuary Security Post, and the half-starved, angry, and generally looking for a fight Michigan Wolverines are just hoping some innocent boar will make a appearance. The Wolverines have come up with a little jingle: "We love boars oh yes we do, boiled, broiled or in a stew. (Chorus) But most of all------- we love 'em raw!" So with everything is in place for this most important event, it's time to get ready to get on over to the airport and welcome Porky Porkinson to Parkinsaw. I wonder if he'd like to stop for a Levolager to help assuage any fears of possible trouble this afternoon. Not a bad idea. John Bjork Parkinsaw, MI Hilllary Blue wrote: > Please be advised.
