Wilbur-A Friend, but for Awhile

So there’s this story on CNN this morning about a family raising a pot bellied pig in their house. His name is Wilbur. The HOA says no livestock is allowed in the neighborhood. The family says that “they feel like Wilbur is family, so he is not actually livestock.” The HOA disagrees. The family lives in a 300,000 dollar neighborhood. They create a facebook page under Wilbur’s name. I friend Wilbur this morning. He accepts. Now I have 12 friends! The family and the 2000 friends of Wilbur share their thoughts about Wilbur. So, I do too. My thought was “I would like to roast Wilbur at 225 degrees for about four hours until he reached an internal temperature of 180 degrees, then eat him with some farther beans and a nice chianti.” The others took offense to this. One told me I should play in a busy street, another said I was bald, so “anyone could expect this from me.” I explained that I have lovely hair. But oh no, that did not stop the hate. I was even told that I should cook a hog like I explained and then die of some bacterial infection. Another called me a troll and that I had no life. He said I was a sad pathetic human being. Well, we could both be right! People just do not appreciate the taste of well prepared pork! So, I sadly, and with great thought, un-friended Wilbur. I hope he is not hurt by my unfriending him. he is like family, you know.
