With apologies to all my NC neighbors & friends, had to share...While riding Wednesday evening on Shears Rd near Mooresville, went by this scene once, had to hurry back to make sure of what I was seeing.
Identify the picture:
Is it :
A) The Dog
B) Dinner
C) The lawnmower
D) A pig
E) All of the above

Depending on your culture, it could be "all of the above".
Pork chops trump dog chops.

Looks like a pot bellied pig to me but it could be dinner.

How good are my eyes? I have reffed college football, basketball, and baseball. When a coach asks me about a call and questions my eyesight, I say to him, "You know, the sun is 93,000,000 miles away. I can see that just fine; the play at second base was about 93,000,000 miles closer, too."

Hey that's weird. I saw a pig yesterday but it was the normal "beige" kind and a women at her front door was apparently coaxing it in to her house from the front side walk.
It was in a semi-rural area, but a suburban style home. Strange deal. NO doubt -normal pig -turned pet. About 30 lbs now.

Pot belly pigs reportedly make good pets. Pigs are very intelligent and trainable. On the other hand, the wild feral hogs (/http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/animals/wildboar.shtml) we have here in Louisiana are a highly destructive, invasive species. They're also not something to be faced without a suitable firearm.
Does it chase bikes???

That's a good thing! Right now I don't know that I could outrun it!

An anachronistic male.
My eyes are not good. I saw a little hippo. And I'm wearing my glasses.

Whut??? I archery hunt these bad boys (and girls) with no firearm. HTFU.
I saw something that should have a target drawn on the side of it.....
It might be a small Tarheel, without his blue sweatshirt.
Looigi, Seems once or twice a year someone around here is injured hunting ferral hogs (open season). Javalina can be more aggressive, but taste wonderful and I use a revolver with them.

Got a local guy who regularly takes 2 pot bellys to the park near my house to graze and poop. While on my way to Orlando last week I saw a black pig grazing on the side of the road. Don't know if it was an exscapee or feral.

It makes you wonder if you're seeing things ? I was coming back from the grocery store to the cottage a couple of summers ago when I saw what looked like a big black Newfie dog sitting by the side of the road by a mailbox about 200 yards down the road. I thought "those people don't even own a dog".
As I got closer, the "dog" turned out to be a young black bear. Two seconds later he jumped into the ditch and took off into the bush.

Wimp. My only equipment is a bib and BBQ sauce. :D
