like a boxer who is down to his last strike
did anyone else catch this gem of an analogy from Senator Charles E. Grassley from Iowa during Tuesday’s confirmation hearing? ''You're the quarterback and your team is way ahead here in the fourth quarter, and opponents are very desperate. They haven't hit you all day, now for two days. And you're going to keep getting these last-minute hail marys thrown at you." I sure hope Brady doesn’t have too many hail marys thrown at him in Denver this weekend. I guess we can thank Joe Biden for starting this trend with his crappy baseball/strike zone analogy during the Roberts hearings.
But why dwell on that stuff when we can talk about glowing green pigs?! I’ll be accepting sausage recipe ideas for this at least until my mail order green pig butt comes in the mail.
And I will note with some sadness that reality tv may be coming to P-Town here on the Cape. Have I mentioned that I’m not a big fan of reality tv? Joyless humbug that I am.

Mmmmm, glowing green pigs. Seeing as you're the pig-part-pro, can you share with me what a "trotter" is? From the article: "In daylight the researchers say the pigs' eyes, teeth and trotters look green"
I believe the author is refering directly to the pig's feet. But in a culinary sense, the trotter is any part of the pig leg below the ham. Granted that isn't too much. The meatiest part would be the upper, kind of the puzzle piece that would fit opposite the tapered end of the ham. It would include from there right on down to the tootsies.
Even more gross than that is that I've seen stuff called 'trotter' which is a hollowed out pig's foot which is stuffed with other swinealicious goodies and then steamed.
And to my dear wife, I would think that you've got it backwards. This would be green ham and eggs!

I believe it is Green (Eggs and Ham), not (Green Eggs) and Ham.
In other words, both the ham and the eggs were green.

Jason is correct. I have the original source here from Dr. Seuss, and in the photos it is quite clear that the word green is used to modify both the eggs and the ham.
So did I mention that a trotter is a pig's foot?
...
ok. One thousand apologies to my dear wife for suggesting that she had it backwards. I should have known better.

Jason and Pumpkinmama, thanks for backing me up! I knew pumpkinmama would set the record straight, since she has most of the Dr. Seuss collection memeorized. And I should have assumed Jason has probably read a fair amount of Dr. Seuss to his sweet boy as well.
To Mark, I would not accept your apology, even if I was stuck way up in a tree. I would not forgive you, even if I was in a canoe. I will expect my feet to be rubbed, a bath drawn in the tub (ed). This is harder than I thought it would be...
