One day this week in a Dallas suburb on I45, a truck wreck caused a bunch of pigs to get loose from a trailer.
Here is one article about it but not really the point of this post:

A local radio station had so much fun with the story that one of them wrote a song about it the next day. It may be something they do every Friday. I saw one about Tony Romo.
The sound is not real good, I think it was just recorded on a cell phone. You can skip the first two minutes, he was just getting setup and waiting on the time slot.

For a bit there, I thought you were refering to a 4th of july sobriety check point, aka semi annual city fundraiser, being hosted by state troopers, and the inebriated persons who manage to drive.

Demz naught pigz. Demz hawgz. Dem babiez way moor dan 120 pounz, so day iz hawgs. Pigz is youngunz.

Loved this quote, "Once inside the pen, the exhausted pigs grazed on the grace, rolled around in the mud to cool off, and drank lots of water." Does anyone know precisely what variety of grace they might have been grazing upon?

Probably the "Grace of God variety".

I can relate with the pigs. I once spilled out of the driver's side of my pickup onto the shoulder of a highway by a State Trooper that unthinkingly opened the door. I could've been injured. I also wound up in a pen grazing on the "Grace of God"...until I was arraigned and released pending trial.

What kind of Grace? Are they Calvinists?

Pleased to see Paden fell out of a pickup instead of out of a picket as was first reported here. I was hoping there was video of him falling out of a picket, whatever that is. Of course, I was also hoping there was a video of him falling out of a pickup.

Probably the same kind you eat all day. 😉

I've heard bad mushrooms can bring on such thinking.

Roos must be a bully of the neighborhood.
Stand up against them in their environment and they leave you alone.
Now, the one that comes to my house and starts bouncing off the windows in a huff might get some fast lead instead of any satisfaction.

That's what I thought but it appears that shooting them is illegal, unless you are a licenced professional hunter in the meat/fur industry.
