What a Load of Hogwash

I’ve always dreamed of attending a pig-catching competition. Imagine the hilarity of watching idiots struggle to chase oily, muddy piglets around a pen for cash prizes. Sign me up! After an unproductive day of binge-watching clips, it’s clear that catching pigs is nearly impossible. So, that being said, why the hell is it so easy to catch Swine Flu?

Fear of the H1N1 virus is spreading like wildfire across the United States, and according to CNN, my college boasts the worst outbreak in the Midwest.

Well, dang. Why couldn’t we be on the news for something cool, like discovering Bigfoot’s Facebook account?

With over 110 identified cases, you’d think our university would shut down. But nope, classes are still in session. The school officials are carrying on like it’s nothing. They’ve simply handed out a few boxes of hand sanitizer.

In my growing paranoia, I have some pressing questions…

  • Will Swine Flu give me an uncontrollable craving for bacon and pork chops?
  • Should I slather myself in oinkment?
  • Is this more of a snoutbreak or a hamdemic?
  • Are we heading for an Aporkalypse, Hamageddon, Pink Plague, or something equally dramatic?
  • Should I sneeze by saying achoink?
  • Will there be blockbuster movies about our school, and if so, can I be the main character? I’d like to pitch: Swinedler’s List, Pig Trouble in Little Mexico, and Babe: Death in the City.
  • Once infected, is this an acceptable pickup line: “Girl, you need to be quarantined, because you have a case of the Fine Flu.

Wow. There are so many swine flu jokes going around. It’s like an epidemic or something.

What even is Swine Flu? Now, I’m not a scientist, but I do have a theory. I bet it was started by a group of jealous pigs. Hear me out: Turkeys have Bird Flu, cows have Mad Cow Disease, and crabs have… well, you know. Pigs were simply next in line to pig out and bring home some extra bacon.

Darn those attention-boars.

I used to trust pigs. I even had a piggy bank. Well, not anymore. First, they took my money, and now they’re trying to kill me. Remember when PETA protested that meat is murder? They were actually warning us!

Help me! I’m living in fear! I doubt I’ll survive this Swine Flu. Hell, I doubt I’ll survive my university’s quarantine. Well, I suppose there’s a chance… when pigs fly.

Thanks for commenting! Our teacher said we had the best paparazzi pictures. So I believe we're going to get a good grade. 😀

The Swine Flu has placed itself here in Norway too. People who has been in the United States has brought it here. The Health-something has posted posters all around to make people wash their hands all the time and sneeze in their elbow just to be safe.
But hey, good pick up line! LMAO!

I love your blogs! >o< The pun is so INTRIGUING.
I like pigs, especially the fluffy ones. I really want a fluffy pig.
Go to your college with a sign that says "if you touch me, you like me!"
That seems to work at my school. XD
YOU'VE GOT FINE FLU!!

Thanks! I've always liked your layout, it's so cute.

They did. D: One teaches English (my original teacher for that session) and the other just roams around and butts into everything.

Yes, it was. 😛 I'm going to print it out and trade it in for a medallion! X)

Nope, but I have tried to catch a sheep and goddamn that's hard!!! Hahaha. I don't know why I tried… I was in Scotland… they were everywhere… and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Funny too 🙂

HAHAHHAHA. Hamdemic. I serioiusly don't know how you come up with this stuff, it's brilliant. I'm thinking Radio Show? Tv Show? BOTH!!!?!?!

"Crabs had.. uhh… yeah" LOL!!

I used to have a piggy bank too!! Then I decided I had to open it and I thought there was going to be SO much money in there… it was about HKD$20… which will get you a meal at McDonalds. Hahhaa.

Lmao! Justin, must you always make me laugh with your blog post? XD

That pick up line, I'm so going to use it on some random chick one day.

But I agree, the Swine Flu epidemic is chaotic. Damn piggy's, just because we enjoyed their savory taste now we can't even eat it without the fear of getting a flu from it.

Knew I should have listened to PETA, I blame them for not having better promotional tactics!

That being said, I think I'll take your piggy bank now. -steals-

Way to make me chuckle, Justin.
Haha, I love all the swine jokes. I don't understand why people are going all AGH! I'M GOING TO DIE over the swine thing. Seriously. If you have a cold or something, someone will shout at you "SWINE!" Yeah, nice. Thanks for that.
