after a pretty heavy post on the sabbath yesterday, i thought i’d share something happening in my own church.
this pig is for real.? the men at cross point church will be eating this very pig tomorrow at a tailgating party thing.? no girls allowed.? which is fine, because i would probably throw up if i saw this thing in person.
knowing this, ryan, who is heading this event up, and whose office is right next to me, has been talking about the process of getting the pig…from buying it, scalding it, and even dehairing it.? he just sent me the picture of the final product.
HE IS STILL SMILING. And whose truck is that?
wrong, just wrong.
does this make you want to throw up, or eat some bacon?

mmmm….Bacon!
Gentile Entertainment!
MMM! MMM! MMM!
The pig tastes good. Bacon. Sausage. Ham. And let’s not forget that delicacy from the Pennsylvania Dutch called Scrapple.
Gimme a P!
Gimme an I!
Gimme a G!
What’s that spell? PIG! PIG! PIG!
sniff. poor Wilbur
That thing looks disgusting but it won’t keep me from participating in devouring it tomorrow!
I thought it was alive, and going to be used for an object lesson or something (a little bit edgier than the vending machine illustration). But then I saw that it had no legs. Having no legs reminded me of the Eddie Murphy movie where he acts like a homeless guy with no legs and sings the “I have no legs!” song. But that’s beside the point- the smiling pig corpse makes me want to spew a little bit. I’m a Sizzlean kind-of-guy.
I prefer eating animals that can’t look at me when I’m cooking me. I like pork but that pic kinda grosses me out.
umm…i love bacon, but seeing that poor pig ‘scalded’ and ‘dehaired’ and without feet is almost too much. i’m sure the men will enjoy it though. :)
Disgusting! Even though I don’t eat a lot of pork I think that mental picture will keep me from ever touching it again. He could look you in the eyes. GROSS!
Did someone say bacon?
Ryan actually used the word “clean shaven” when he sent this picture. Um…GROSS.
reminds me of sacrificial offerings in the old testament. Love the idea of a guys only tailgate. My husband would LOVE that.
I have to admit I like all forms of pork – bacon, ham, sausage – YUM!!!
Wowzers! For some reason, it didn’t look so bad in Pete’s TwitPic. I really like bacon, but too much looking at this could make a person want to go vegetarian.
I think I just became a vegetarian.
I.dont.do.pork.
and after seeing this picture, I remember why.
creepy.
the fact that parts of a pig were on my pizza last night…seeing this, i think i’ll never eat again. bleh! ha.
I love me some bacon..and ham..and sausage..and pork chops…..yummy. But, I am glad I buy it post-this post!
that is just disgusting!! eww, who has the feet? it’s sad because it really does still look like it’s alive!
Bring on the Bacon!
That thing is gonna taste good!
awww, babe looks so cut all grown up! what happened to his feet though????
reminds me of why i’m vegetarian. i’d rather eat my own eyeball than that.
bacon tastes good!
pork chops taste good!
it’s cool how he looks like he’s coming through the truck bed.
Pig, the other white meat!
Growing up in Brazil we always had at least a half a pig to eat during holidays and special occasions. Interestingly the “half-pig” option looked like Wilbur on the photo here but split in half lengthwise. We usually baked the hole thing and serve it head and all.
The only time we “pulled” the pig apart before serving it was during my lovely Southern wife’s first visit to Brazil. “Mom, she won’t eat anything that’s looking back at her,” I said.
Personally, I believe that if God did not intend for us to eat the animals, he would not have made them out of meat.
MMMMMMMMMM…….BBQ!!!
you wish you could be there…
EWWWWW. . . Throw up!!
Deee Lish Us!!
i think im gonna cry. i know its gonna be tasty – but the visual has GOT to go!
Yikes, I prefer mt meat to look as least like its original form as possible!
Can’t wait to devour this thing tomorrow. Welcome to Nashville, Anne!
ew
:-(
I killed 3 pigs this spring, which left me three short of my goal of six.
I was a country boy, participated in a lot of “hog killins.” Makes me want fresh tenderloin for breakfast, but I’ll settle for barbeque tomorrow.
The scalding and de-haring process is really interesting. You should try it, Anne.
does make me wanna throw-up in my mouth a bit ;) joy and i – unknowingly – attended a pig roast in may (knew food would be served, just not what). fortunately, the “sacrifice” already had been prepared.
yeesh…
That is just gross, I couldn’t believe it was real. I LOVE bacon and all, but is that a common thing in the south? Wow, have I been sheltered!
i just see Babe the pig…oh i have no words!!!
ummmmmm, he’s missing his legs!!!! Gross! Definitely doesn’t make me want bacon right at this moment……although I love it most of the time. ;)
…but the pig looks so peaceful – love his/her smiley face (pre-BBQ’d of course)
Oh that poor pig…..and yes, gross…..the visual!!!! Anne, your life is so eventful and
I’m glad you shared this one…..I’m from Missouri (show-me state) originally and would not have believed it, if I hadn’t been shown! Live and learn, I guess.
Yum! Bacon…
I do love bacon…but I never need to see the face of my meat…what the heck?!
