  • Porker on the Run
    By The Hog on September 27th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Seems like Bruce the Pig is being pursued by the folks at Edgar’s Mission Farm - ever since he terrorized 63 old pensioner, Caroline Hayes - his former owner. Read the full story on the Friggin Loon Blog.

    Now I don’t know about you, but the last thing this old hog would want is to finish up in some sort of retirement village for pigs…..not amongst all them old sows.

    Of course I can’t speak for Bruce…but maybe he figures that Edgar’s is a better option than the piggery.

    He just better watch out for Miss Alice….she’s one mean looking sow.

    Run Bruce Run!

    BREAKING NEWS - BRUCE CAUGHT IN DRAMATIC AMBUSH

    Well , just as I feared, poor old Bruce has been captured and is now off to the piggery - them old sows can hardly wait.

  • A Very Funny Tiger Story
    By The Hog on July 13th, 2007 | 2 Comments2 Comments Comments

    A story I got from Jack at How to Break 80. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this one with me mates Jack…..very funny!

    David Feherty was recently interviewed and when asked about his position related to Tiger, here was his response…

    “People have accused me of being so far up Tiger’s arse that he can barely make a full swing, but I maintain that he is a special person.

    There’s no one else on the planet who can do what he does or even think of doing what he does. I’ve often thought, instead of showing Tiger’s reaction to a shot he’s hit, we really should show the reaction of those around him.”

    But here is the next best thing. “I’m walking down the 18th fairway at Firestone Country Club with Ernie Els and Tiger, who has popped up a three-wood about 40 yards behind Ernie into some wet, nasty, horrible, six-inch rough,” Feherty says.

    “Tiger’s cursing and taking clumps out of Ohio with his three-wood. And, of course, we’re not showing this on TV because we want to be able to interview him later. Ernie and I walk past Tiger’s ball, and it is truly buried.

    “Ernie is tied with Tiger and he’s in the middle of the fairway. I’m standing with Ernie and my microphone is open. Ken Venturi [in the CBS booth] sends it to me and I say, ‘Tiger’s got 184 yards with two big red oaks overhanging the green. He’s got absolutely nothing. With a stick of dynamite and a sand wedge I might be able to move this ball 50 yards. Steve Williams [Woods’ caddie] tells me [with a hand signal] that he’s using a pitching wedge.’

    “Tiger takes his swing. Every muscle in his body is flung at the ball. It looks like he’s torn his nutsack. The divot went as far as I could hit the ball. I’ve got my microphone at my mouth thinking, what the hell was that! The ball sails over the trees, lands behind the hole and backs up to a bout six feet from the flag. I open my microphone and Ernie turns and says, ‘F*** me!’

    “My producer comes on in my earpiece and says, ‘Was that Ernie?’ I say yes. He says, ‘Fair enough.’

    “I could have described that shot for 15 minutes and not done as good a job as Ernie did with two words. This is one of the best players in the world talking, and you wanna know how good Tiger is? Ask Ernie Els.”

    Thanks to Jack at ……How to Break 80……appreciate the story man.
