lori dear, Norwegians are cute! I’ve been carrying this burden for years now.

The Norwegians are constantly battling with the Japanese for fishing rights, etc., whaling rights(sorry but true) and now it has spread to the cute. We can just sit and watch them battle it out or get in there and protect our own sovereign cute! Meg, Theo, are either of your Norwegian by any chance? Hmm? Jeg elsker day, Meg, jeg elsker deg Theo. Say, Peeps, say “jeg elsker deg” to someone you love today!

i hope she works her way into my dreams tonight.

I wonder if she’s already outgrown her booties in the back?

I think it’s cool that she’s ok with getting her back feet dirty now.

There’s video of the little porker at

It’s in norwegian. I happened on it while watching the lion cubs.

I think the norwegians are trying to take over the world whith the cute.

Yes, Christopher Robin, marching. I think Ernest Shepard actually did an illustration of that, I seem to remember. Perfect. Oh, now I’ll think of Christopher Robin for a while–wanders off to the Hundred Acre Wood…

There’s only one adjective for that piggy, and that word is “JAUNTY”!!!

Very adorable, but can anyone say PHOTOSHOP?

Have I mentioned recently that I love bacon? (Nottmi, lighten up.)

‘According to the bbc, the farmers are going to let her live a natural life because they’ve fallen in love with her.’

Angh. It’s sweet when love moves somebody to make such a generous gesture as this — instead of painfully killing her and all her family and friends for a little profit, they will only painfully kill all her family and friends for a little profit. But she’ll get to stay on, hang around and advertise for them.

Wake up piggy lovers! Farmers are not the pigs’ friends! And this pig is only an advertisement — the linked story quotes them saying that their region is particularly known for wellingtons, and their ads feature images of pigs wearing wellingtons. The story is fake, this is a (so far extremely successful) ad campaign, and that farm’s business is to confine, cut, brand, and kill little piggies like the darling in the photo!

So am I the only one desperately wanting to add a little raincoat and hat?

Maybe in pink, with flowers on…?
