Well the old topic of the effects our livestock has on habitation has rolled around once more, and this time it's the poor old cow that gets the stick.
It's always a topic of much discussion and excuses and name blaming.
Often wonder if it's an excuse to pedal one form of livestock over another.
The Australian pork industry only accounts for approx 0.4% of the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions which is significantly lower than other Australian livestock sectors such a beef (11.2%), sheep (3.4) and dairy (2.7%).
Perhaps we should eat more of this according to the claims above
Did you ever price Beano by the gallon?

Never heard of it.
I see it claims 'help prevent gas and its discomfort from many healthy foods,'
Can't really say I've had discomfort, but those around me have on occasions when emissions have been somewhat odorous.
Seriously though, there's talk here of changing cows diets to relieve the greenhouse gas emissions.
Not sure how far that idea will go or it'll just evaporate into the never never.
Pine trees have got cows and hogs beat hands down..

Does anybody realize this gent is haulin' that pig around with a roto-tiller?
ps - it must be fast...because he is definitely haulin' balls....yuk yuk yuk
Wow, it looks like some Brazilian "Cosmetic Surgeon" really botched a scrotum Implant". :p
I'm not sure they're legit. Been trying to work out their shadow, but it seems to be missing.
I can assure you that they are legit. A couple of years ago I was driving out to site and came up behind and passed a single cab ute that had a pink boar in the tray. The boar was so massive that it was on its side and filled the whole tray, and just like the photo above its nabs didn't fit in and they hung like a pair of rock melons over the back of the closed tailgate. I estimated their diameter as at least 200mm (8"). Unfortunately no camera.
The device he is hauling the trailer with is sometimes known as a powered mule, or a two wheeled tractor. And while I can't say I have seen hogs this large frequently, I have seen large hogs often enough that the thought of one this size doesn't seem out of place.
His face is pretty ugly. I wonder how he compares in the jewellery department to the caged one?
That's a lot of pig for sure.
My grandmother absolutely loved the phrase "pretty ugly". Her education ended in sixth grade but she knew that the two words cancelled out each other.
I don't know how it came about, but it seems common that people use "pretty" as a adverb synonym for "very" when used in combination with an adjective, although it perhaps implies a weaker meaning than "very".
It sounds so natural to me from my upbringing that I don't notice it unless called to attention, but I might notice if I wrote it and would change it.

From one of the multitude of on-line dictionaries:
"The qualifying adverb (or adjective) pretty, meaning ??fairly or moderately? has been in general use since the late 16th century. Although most common in informal speech and writing, it is far from restricted to them, and often is less stilted than alternatives such as relatively, moderately, and quite."
(yes, I had to look up stilted also...)
Stilted means you have a stick up yer butt.
actually the way I used it looks plain stupid! Pretty ugly - how more ridiculous can that get.
But as Bill says from his upbringing.... It's the way I talk.
Hadn't thought anything of it until HC mentioned it and then it stuck out like a - well a bit like that fat blighters marbles that started all this.
must say, though, they are pretty awesome. Not pretty though :p
Well, now we know what pigskin was used to make footballs.
