Patty: Early in the initial chapters of the Parkinsaw Chronicles, we took the position that the pig was unfairly defamed in society at large, often the butt of jokes, whose very name was used in pejorative fashion. To alleviate this injustice, the Sty-King Group was formed up here in Parkinsaw, MI, , and Chubby Labarre was elected President. Initial activities included becoming more involved in Pennies for Parkinson's, having a slogan (This could be the start of Something Pig), bumper stickers (Have You Hugged Your Pig Today) and generally extolling the virtues of the Pig. Later, Porky and Porquetta Porkinson burst upon the scene, heightening our involvement and commitment to the Pennies for Parkinson's program. Now, of course, we're under siege by dark international forces whose mission we firmly believe is to sully the good name of pigs everywhere for their own twisted, diabolical purposes. Witness the cowardly attack on Porky Porkinsoin while he was visiting here in Parkinsaw. We, like you, appreciate the contributions made by pigs, and the special uniqueness of certain porcine species such as the Fabled Cincy Flying Pigs. We appreciate your views, and welcome your comments, critique and participation in bringing this sordid affair threatening pigs everywhere to a favorable conclusion. Stay tuned for an unclassified version of the Gandy Dancer's first intelligence report. Porkus Semper Protectum.
