MORE SENSELESS ACTS OF BLOGGERY

This week’s rat: Basil the rat, from the last episode of Fawlty Towers.


Explanations here.

It’s hard to believe that they only made 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers (and that’s two seasons worth). Then again, it’s easier to maintain quality control over a show with a limited run rather than one that just goes on and on and on.

Well, 50 pigs done, two to go, and I haven’t even resorted to some of the more obvious pigs, like Babe, Piglet (from Winnie The Pooh), and, of course, Porky Pig.

Truth be told, much as I love Warner Bros toons, I never liked Porky that much. But I do like his outtakes:

This week’s pig is the Lokuloku – a toy pig that retains its shape even if you splat it on the ground.

We have video for you, and like the Lokuloku, it is made of Awesome:


I am SO buying one of these if I ever get to Japan again and see one on sale.

Heading into the final ten of our weekly chronicle of the Year Of The Pig.

This week’s pig courtesy of Al Capp’s Li’l Abner.


With possible assistance from Frank Frazetta.

No, I never really got into Li’l Abner – it had stopped running by the time I was old enough to appreciate the hillbilly babe factor (which was probably the only thing keeping it going by then). Thus, I have no clue as to the significance of the pig. But I’ve got a series to run here, and it gives me a flimsy excuse to post Frazetta hillbilly babes, so I don’t want to hear any sass.

Are you ready for the country,
