Swinger states, huh? Funny, I thought there were some other states that had more swingers than those three. Well, thanks Pig, now we know.

mormon mitt said earlier in the campaign, that he would cut fema and disaster relief. then, sandy arrived. now, he says he would not cut fema and disaster relief. plus, there are swingers in all 50 states. and, some are polyamorous.

Rat should have used Goat as his campaign strategist, instead of that dumb Pig.
orinoco womble about 12 years ago
I just had an interesting thought. All of the main characters are animals that are insults in English: Pig, Rat and Goat. Hm. Of the three, I’d rather be like Pig.

Mr. Trekman, if you like PBS please pay for it. Why do you believe others should pay for you to watch TV? I don’t have cable because I can’t afford it. I certainly don’t expect you to pay for it for me!

Post that pic of your biceps workout, Rat. Swinger States love biceps.

My father tried to scare me with VD. When I told him that antibiotics cured them, he started talking about the “Black Clap”, from Vietnam, it was worse than leprosy.
I was worried, but not enough to stop looking.

I love swinging! A lot of kids do it at neighborhood parks in their hometown.
*Do any of you remember what day the comic was that Pig was saying he doesn’t understand the saying ‘a sitting duck’ and the last panel showed LGD saying, ‘Go ahead! Make my day?’ *

Swinger state: a condition or attitude in which one thinks they are sexy. You many be in a swinger state but that don;t make you a swinger!

No swinging in Missouri, I don’t think.

The first mistake is having Pig be ANY part of his campaign… the second mistake is having him put in charge of anything. :-sAnd I just caught the gag (whether it was intended or not) that’s it’s a Rat race! LOL!

Does Pig really want to go swinging in the state of the Golden Girls? (And does anyone else remember that show?)
orinoco womble about 12 years ago
He does! He does indeed! thanks for the laugh.
