I was listening on Saturday a show about Joh on the radio, and the guy
(how is it said, host?) said that the photograph of John holding a pig
was a reference of Paul because John used to call Paul "pig" in a
friendly way because of his thik (or big) cheeks... if that makes
sense in English... anyway, I had never heard that. The guy actually
said some things in the show that weren't very accurate.
Had anyone heard of that?.
I think Lennon was just mocking the cover of McCartney's (much better)
Ram album.
BTW, Lennon was terrified to death of that pig.
That's what I had heard before.
> BTW, Lennon was terrified to death of that pig.
Really?.
Yeah. The pig wasn't cooperative and Lennon was much relieved when
the shoot was over.
I thought you meant a different Pig of Imagine.
Danny
===============================
John and Paul's ongoing post Beatles feud.
Paul's album Ram had a shot of Paul holding a ram by the horns (in
addition to some lyrical messages for John). John responded in his
next album with a close proximate image of him holding a pig by the
ears, in addition to lyrics in songs like "How Do You Sleep" ("that
sound you make is Muzak to my ears...." "the only thing you did was
"Yesterday...")

> I thought you meant a different Pig of Imagine.
The one who posts here?
Actually, that was the one meeting of John Lennon and Gay Snyder.
Exactly. John was upset by some of the songs on RAM. He interpreted
them as a slight . . . . hence he wrote "How do you Sleep."
>
> BTW, Lennon was terrified to death of that pig.
I didn't know that.
LOL. I think John feared all Imagine pigs.
>

Hm, I think we finally have a more descriptive term than "YT"s.
Thank you, IP #1.
In the midwest, I've actually been around quite a number of pigs (not
counting my family and friends!), and I can tell you that anyone who
isn't at least a bit nervous around them is kidding themselves: they're
smart and often aggressive. John was right to be anxious: that big thing
could have bitten off his nose!
dmh
I've seen some small pigs at petting zoos like those little pot belly
pigs. Some people keep them as pets. I think the small ones are kinda
cute.
And yes, believe it or not, they are supposed to be quite intelligent.
BTW Dale, I understand you had sent RichL some song lyrics. I listened
to RichL's song and in some parts, I could hear your voice come
through. Nice work.
Your welcome.
Your friend, Annie.

They are about as intelligent as dogs. And behaeve in a similar way.
Imagine if the quote was, "I ain't had so much fun since the hogs ate
my sister." Kinda takes on a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
Really? But I don't think I'd want a big fat pig jumping up and
licking my face . . . . . . .
I know what film *that's* a reference to. Actually, John Lennon is
said to have loved that movie - that scene in particular ("I can't
wait to get to the butt****ing scene," he supposedly said with glee
when Deliverance came on the telly).
I recall that too . . . but I would guess John's remark and interest
in the scene was largely a reflection of cynical sense of humor.
Why not?.
Well, to start with, I assume a large full grown pig weighs more than
250 pounds, and that's almost as much as me!! I wouldn't want to get
thrown down and trampled. Most dogs are much smaller and lighter.
Even a large dog might weight, let's say, 75 pounds . . . but 250
pounds? Nah.
Actually, I have to stand corrected. According to this link, a full
sized, full grown farm hog can weigh 1000 pounds.
http://www.pigs4ever.com/PotBelliedPigInfo/size_weight.htm
So, no, I would not want that jumping on me.
Pigs are slaughtered at 68 kilos. I have always remembered that!
Dany
Pounds... no, you'd have to tell me in kilograms :).
Anyway, I had a dog who, I don't know how much he weighted, but he
would jump on me and throw me to the ground... he was really big. And
beautiful.

Certain breeds do make good pets, but that one in the John photo is

Oh, I believe it. I met a pig farmer once, who told me that no matter
how hard he worked to keep them penned in, they always found a way to
get out. The Yippies ran one for President back in the 60s - I got to
see it in the streets of Washington D.C. - and - considering our present
"leadership" I think it might have been a better president after all!

Thanks - that's almost all RichL's work. I've played it for several
friends, and they all seemed very pleased with it. Anyone else want to
try sometime? I've got quite a load of unused lyrics lying about, cryinf
for lack of companionship...

I do. I really do.
Dale, if you actually have some that are *about* "crying for lack of
companionship", send 'em to me. That theme seems to resonate with me these
days.....
Seriously, I haven't forgotten about the other one you've sent. I've
actually tried a couple of melodies with it, but nothing's clicked so far.
You're gonna try cold turkey, huh? I prefer the "weaning gradually"
approach.
sounds good...I'm weaning as we speak. Not as difficult as giving up
the cigs but rough never the less. I will make it..thank you.

You are beautiful Jimmy. Get it out of your system now because
January 1 is going to be difficult. I'll admire you no matter what
you do.
As for my New Years resolution, I keep telling myself to diet and lose
weight . . . . . But it is very difficult. Perhaps I will try regular
walking and other exercise as suggested by others in a different
thread.
Which is why I would not want them jumping on me like a friendly dog
and further reason why the mini pigs are cute but the big ones aren't.
I have heard of rare occasions where pigs literally devour
people . . . . I had no idea they could be carniverous.
I don't know... I keep getting the feeling that you're really a rail,

In any case, exercising and eating healthy is good for everyone. It

What exactly is so difficult about refraining from bashing a
seventy-something widow you've never met? Listen to yourself - you make
it sound like you're looking ahead to the Battle of Britain, for
chrissakes. Don't pat yourselves on the back too hard for doing what
most decent people already do.

Good post!
Well, would you look at the big tough bully hiding behind his computer
screen.
Loss of identity, perhaps.
Being a Yokotard is probably the only the only time these bottom
feeders have ever had a sense of 'belonging'. Giving it up forces them
to stop living vicariously and to focus on the bathos of their own
reality.
You are very, very sick. Show me one rmb post where I claimed to have
a child.
This is not the first time you have attempted to drag a perceived
child into this NG. I ignored the first couple of times.
There are age requirements to participate here. Believe it or not,
even though you say this is "just usenet" there ARE certain rules.
Are you a pedophile?
Was that a statement or a question?
STFU, Donna. Shut off the computer and go fuck your husband for once.

I had to run to the Wikis:
Bathos is from the Greek βάθος, meaning depth. As used in English it
originally referred to a particular type of bad poetry, but it is now
used more broadly to cover any ridiculous artwork or performance. More
strictly speaking, bathos is unintended humor caused by an incongruous
combination of high and low. If the contrast is intended, it may be
described as Burlesque or mock-heroic.
Kinda like a fifth grader's book report.
Actually, I feel fine, Gay.
>Show me one rmb post where I claimed to have a child.
There isn't one. You DO have a child, however.
> This is not the first time you have attempted to drag a perceived

Because you DO have a child --incredible as this may be.
> There are age requirements to participate here. Believe it or not,

And what rule has been broken?
> Are you a pedophile?
Of course not. Mentioning children makes one a sexual deviate?
Nice one. You just saved Gay a few clicks and some difficult thinking.
Why are you addressing me? You said you don't want to converse with
me, yet ever since you said that, you've been conversing with me more
than ever.
You see, Abe, this is precisely why I don't like resolutions such as
New Years Resolutions. You yourself said just two or three days ago
you had no desire to talk to me anymore and here you are breaking your
vow.
Perhaps you misunderstand what I said . . . I am not looking forward
to the Battle of Britain at all. My point with BPJ is multifold . . .
if he is able to keep his resolution, as difficult as it is to keep
resolutions, I would admire him. And if he doesn't, I still would
admire him.
Don't pat yourselves on the back too hard for doing what

I am not a decent person to you, remember?

weenie.
Yes . . . . he writes like a novelist.
If this is even true, that means that you've been investigating. If so,
you are mentally sick to do something like this. I mean it. That's
extremely obsessive and very weird. This is definitely not something to
brag about. You should take out your Yellow Pages and go find yourself
a good psychiatrist.
> Nice one. You just saved Gay a few clicks and some difficult thinking.
But I introduced html. Run for the hills!
Notice how this fellow is subtly wishing me dead. What a loser.
And this is not the first time. No, he changes his handle, but it is
the same troll, the same evil message. The same creature that uses
words like "kike" "hebe" "JAP" "cunt" etc.
I hope decent people reading this exchange can see him for what he
is. Sadly, he has certain "friends" and supporters here who work with
him.
I would like to think that most decent people can see what dreck he is.
Stating a fact -- that Gay has a child -- is "obsessive" and "sick"?
What kind of bizarro world do *you* live in?
And why are you still avoiding your husband? Log off and get on the
stick, babe.
Just like when you suggested Ringo Starr secretly wishes Jews dead,
huh? What a vividly paranoid imagination you have there.
Me and my "co-workers" are watching.
<lol>
You've hit rock bottom.
Would you want people here to talk about you and your personal life?
I keep trying to gently point you in the direction of the "righteous "
path but you won't listen.
Look, by insulting people, making death insinuations, using vulgar
words, and resorting to ethnic slurs, you will get nowhere fast. You
are not scaring anyone and you make yourself look stupid and uncooth.
You damage your own reputation. To the extent you try to be involved
in a nice polite controversy, your own position is diminished because
people are less likely to believe you or like you.
The fact that you change your handle constantly suggest you know you
don't "want to be caught." You know you are trolling or engaging in
otherwise bad behavior.
The bottom line is you can call me or anyone here every name in the
world . . . You can claim I am from Mars, or that I have 3 heads, or
have purple hair. It does not make it true no matter how many times
you say it and no matter how loud you scream it.
But what does come across to any intelligent person reading such trash
is YOU. I don't control YOU. YOU control YOU.
And you know this how?
I said if true, that means that you investigated private information
about a child and THAT is obsessive and sick. What kind of messed up
life do you have that you would care to do something like this? And
then to write these bullying posts and let everyone know that you're
spending your time spying on a child? Face it... you're screwed up.
> And why are you still avoiding your husband? Log off and get on the
> stick, babe.
I never avoid my husband, honey. He's very satisfied, as am I. Did you
satisfy yourself tonight? Maybe while you were investigating others?
Irony meter explosion!
When did YOU, of all people, suddenly become squeamish about
discussing the personal lives of others?
> I keep trying to gently point you in the direction of the "righteous "

You're nobody's moral judge. Get it through your head.

companionship, not I.

The same reason I change clothes, actually. Your lack of creativity in
names is not my fault.

Have not made any claims of the sort. I merely stated the fact that
you have a child, and you're flying all to pieces. Interesting.

Oh, so you DID read the Playboy interviews after all?
(except for that "mean" part where he tells people like you to go fuck
yourselves for demeaning his marriage, of course...)
It is unfortunate that your testicles never descended...your manhood

Now do the one where I'm in grade school.
Sorry, your too pathetic. A child really. Small of mind, cowardly at
best. Not an ounce of man in you.

My too pathetic? What does that mean?

I'm sure *you've* had a few ounces of man in you over the years.
Wow, what a come back..half man-child. Search me out, investigate me,
instead of slamming the women in this group. Good luck finding your
balls tonight.
It'd be easier if your mouth wasn't wrapped around them.
Keep dancing for me, my little monkey!
Leave those raisinets alone..come back, I'm not done with you freak.
You are getting tired little one..your milky complexion is showing,
half man-child.
Get some rest. I'll be watching you, toad.
Good boy. You're getting that whole 'you are'/contraction thing down
pat! Maybe there's an O level in your future.
> I'll be watching you, toad.
Whatever gets you hard, brother.
Hey, Snyder! Once again, when did you get so particular about
commenting on the private lives of others? It doesn't seem to bother
*you* when you do it dozens of times **every single day**.
Or are you special in some way?
wow...I realize I should feel sorry for societies rejects like
yourself but in this case, I'll pass. Get back to bashing the women,
strong boy, I'll pop in whenever I choose.
Nature has played a cruel trick on you.
Most people can read your words or my words and form their own
opinions. You've misconstrued my words . . . but as I said, people
can form their own conclusions.
Some celebrities make it a point of advertising their personal lives.
They almost make it their livelihood. By doing so, they are inviting
comment.
But let's not pretend that your dislike of me has anything to do with
that at all . . . . As you know, long ago you said I was on your
permanent shit list, and you've been following me around ever since.
That is a patently false statement.
If anyone in this NG had their mouth wrapped around your private
parts, you would be in terrible pain from their teeth closing on you.
You would not be able to sit at the computer and type.
Careful. You might insult weenies.
Cross that line, terrorize anyone here with the thought that they may
be harmed and you will be downloaded and given to the proper
authorities, yes I know a few that would be glad to help. Stop.

Well, I'll send you a lyric or two or three to choose from, and you

It was a bit more "difficult" a lyric I think, although I always
imagined part of it as having a drum and horn band behind it, with a
certain cheesy vaudeville/music hall texture to it. But what do I know?
Well - I'll try and get something else off to you (perhaps a bit
"simpler") as soon as the demob poodle lets me out of the basement.

The Wikis made me do it.
BTW, did you read that story a while back about that poor woman in
France who had a face transplant? It was reported that a couple of
years ago she had been normal and healthy, but had fallend asleep
after taking some pills. Her own dog, (a Labrodor???) chewed off her
face.
Weird . . . . I don't normally think of a dog, much less a gentle
breed like a Labrodor, doing that.
You are funny, Sean. You have a refreshing sense of humor.
I'll ask you the same question I asked Dave.
"May I ask, what is your secret?"
It happens. No animal (including a human) can always be trusted to not
be exactly what you don't want them to be. I have a Labrador, and she is
an utter sweetheart. But - on walks - one always has to be aware that
certain instincts may kick in for even the mellowest animal. It is
amazing how many bad pet owners there are, who walk about with their
ticking time bombs, watching their neurotic and aggressive behavior as
if it were amusing. Every week or so I run into an idiot like this, who
asks me if the dogs can "meet and greet" only to have the damn thing
jump at my dog with its teeth bared. And the owner usually lapses into a
"bnby voice" and gently admonishes his dog, which - to the dog's ears -
is just the owner telling them how wonderful it is they can still act
like a feral dog.

I agree. IMO these dog owners love their pets so much, they think of
them as almost a part of the family. They overlook their dog's bad
behavior. I have some experience with dogs like that.
Every week or so I run into an idiot like this, who

So true.
But I've found that some breeds are worse than others.
I like dogs, but I generally do not like pit bulls. Frankly, I think
that breed should be banned, especially in a populated metropolitan
area. They are too dangerous. I've heard of and read too many
terrible stories where a seemingly nice pit bull attacked a human
being. I understand from other people that once they bite, their jaw
virtually locks and it is very hard to get the dog off the victim.
Indeed, if one goes to the Center for Disease Control website,
pitbulls and rotweillers are often the most reported killers . . . . .
of humans. At least that was the case a couple of years ago when I
checked.

It's a fool who anthropomorphizes any dog. I have a newish dog, a
great big Neapolitan Mastiff. She's sweet towards me, and *seems*
tolerant of my friends, but I had a friend over who was so fascinated
by her that he started filming her on his digital camera. And the
moment I left the room for a minute she viciously lunged at him! It's
on film. Fortunately she didn't maul the guy, but she does not
hesitate to show her feral side when I'm not around.
