I'm sure you didn't mean to make a pun. Pelosi did have a present left for her on top of everything(don't feel like repeating what's in the article). It's not civil or helpful in getting money to the people. Might seem minor but how many times have people left messages spray-painted on people's doorstep and ment well by it.

 

The pig head didn't even register. Once upon a time, we played "Hide the Pig Head" (No, seriously) as a joke with some friends. We hid it in each others houses in places where it would cause a stir until it got too ripe for the game to continue. My childhood was warped, wasn't it?

 

Hugs!

Naughty children... I'm sure children then had a lot of messed up ways of entertaining themselves. But it's far different now then then. You think you are warped, but old values change with society's growth, you just had to bend and twist as you went along. Growing up is a messy business and time can be a rude awakening. What once was good fun in the old days, on second look back actually wasn't so great. Plus children don't really have a good sense of empathy until there mid teens, even then it's still a growing work in progress.

Oh no, the adults joined into this one. Whoever found the head was the one to place it into its next spot. I think the pig head originally came from an autopsy. It's horrifying all the way down. This game went on for a week.

In the eyes of the old divinity, we are all children, it's just others are older and aren't as innocent. Those who fill the adult rolls are teachers, and they sometimes aren't very knowledgeable. Surprised it even ended and didn't become a tradition. Must have smell horribly after a week?

[Jackie C.]

It did. Like I said, the game stopped when the head was too far gone to use anymore. It's not like it was embalmed or anything. Though it did have an apple in it's mouth for the time it got left in Fred's linen closet. So yeah. Not anyone's proudest moment. I think I was around twelve at the time.

 

I think it mostly wasn't a tradition because of the lack of a regular supply of severed pig heads. Most of the family friends either kept horses or goats and none of them were for meat.

I think after misadventures with the rotting pig head, anybody would be good. In NYC during certain times of the year you'll find the goat head shrines. But it takes a certain type of person to attempt to God Father somebody. Just lucky you didn't grow up next to a pig farm.

Nah, I grew up in suburbia. However, Doctor C. was a large animal vet (and really, REALLY wanted to be a frontier doctor). Before that she was a professional dressage rider so I spent a lot of time around farms growing up. They just tended to be more horse oriented with some goats, sheep and the occasional cattle ranch thrown in. The places with cattle tended to be all business though. Usually they went with a different vet (who was willing to do Goddess knows how many head a day for vaccinations and whatnot).

Wanna know why are vets better than doctors?...because they have to know how to care for many creatures, while doctors barely know one. For some reason been watching the hoof care videos for cattle. Can understand why it's a bit more of a specialty type care thing. To go through herds of those massive creatures and each has 4 feet that can have a number of problems. Cattle are a pain to care for. Wanted to be a vet but then would have to kill a good number of the animals I care for, so passed the idea. Switched to wanting a small wind farm, caring for some goats, wild turkey and bees. Not sure how those plans will go now.
