Who let the pig out? (4th Dio)
Posted by Dwight Ta-ala on Thursday, November 27, 2003 5:48 PM
June 2, 1944. Still unaware of the forthcoming major allied invasion, members of an armored infantry unit stationed somewhere in Normandy found an interesting way to beat the rather boring and lazy June afternoon. It was fun...until of course a killjoy officer noticed.

LOL. Sorry Sherm, I guess the animal rights activists will gang up on me if I show a roasted pig in my dio.

BTW, aside from minor bruises, I think no German soldiers were hurt either. He-he-he.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

Historyinscale/Keyworth: More than bacons and eggs, we make a really delicious roasted pig here in the Philippines which we call lechon.

Butz: Well, I though even soldiers need some time off. LOL.

Chris: These mini dios are fun to build you know. And really simple, too.

Just glad to cause a smile.

Nice dio Dwight. Always some officer spoiling the fun of the enlisted. Reminds me of a dio I saw about 15 years ago. A couple of American GI's were chasing a turkey around a burned out house. I wish I had the imagination to make something like that.

I love that, it reminds me of the field.
Sleeping in your sleeping bag and waking up to a worthog sniffing your fart sack, I just layed back down and wished the pig go away then eventually fell asleep again.
BTW the worthogs can get rather large here, and the tusks..........

and this one time when we were trainning in hohenfelsthere was a pack of worthogs running around in the madeup wire tent city, it was crazy, they would just walk around like they were one of us. The mess sgt had his hands full, he wa always chasing them off, the one day he had enough after they raided a few garbage cans and was chasing them around in he mud with a wooden spoon, I was laughing my arse off!

Firstly, that's really imaginative work, Dwight! A caption should go on the base to help describe it! Do the other two know that their "buddy" is snitching on them? Big Smile [:D]

Oh, man!!! Lechon!! And it's nearly Christmas too! you ever taste the lecon from Cebu that's stuffed with lemongrass or pandan or something? It's so good, you don't even need to break out the sauce! man, i'm getting hungry... shelve the turkey and bring on the pig!!! Big Smile [:D]

Thats actually really good. what you never find out though is that they later killed and ate the pig, and the No pigs were harmed thing was just a cover story. Its a very very good dio.

Jedi-mike: This is what I get in my head when I am feeling lazy with my other kits.

Frosty: "for grilling" LOL. That's a good one.

Shrikes: Ahh yes, lechon from Cebu. How can I ever forget? I could feel my blood pressure shoot up already just by thinking about it.

Airbrush: I would like to think that indeed the pig got out alive. But only God knows if it did. LOL.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Really appreciate it.

Thanks, J-hulk.

I am sorry to tell you that the German high command had summoned the pig for "grilling" (as Frosty informed me). I don't know if it will survive. LOL.

Then after the "grilling" where the pig did actually "squeal"...

The German High Command is now trying to decipher the the new american codes that they were able to extract from the pig.

These supposedly secret codes are "oink, oink, oink"
