Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig, I"d like you to meet my friend, Bob. He's a cobbler. Pig: A cobbler? I'm so sorry. Bob: Why are you sorry? Pig: I had a cobbler for dessert. Goat: Different cobbler. Pig: Have some bacon, we'll be even.
Bob the Cobbler is not Neighbor Bob, nor Bob the Croc, nor Coach Bob. But he does have something in common with them. That would be Pig. The constant Fool (in the classical sense) of PBS.Can I have some bacon, please? For the new year?
Happy New Year Pig!Happy New Year Rat!Happy New Year Paris Goat!Happy New Year Zebra!Happy New Year Andy!Happy New Year Mr. Snuffles!Happy New Year Little Guard Duck!Happy New Year to all the Bob’s!Happy New Year Larry Croc!Happy New Year Patty Croc!Happy New Year Junior Croc!Happy New Year Zeeba Zeeba Eata Crocs!Happy New Year Danny Donkey!Happy New Year Elly Elephant!Happy New Year Pigita!…and finally…Happy New Year Ste-Pun Pastis!
Pig is obviously holding expensive smoke flavored textured vegetable protein strips that are designed to look and taste vaguely like bacon…. a far cry from real bacon.
My friend raised pigs for years. He went to the convenience stores and got their leftover food and that is what he slopped his pigs with, The food they went the craziest over? Bacon and sausage, hands down. They would squeal and fight the loudest over their own kind.

That he even has bacon to offer is a little worisome.

Pig is so clueless… But at least Bob didn’t thump him like ‘Coach Bob’ did last Sunday.

Pig has admitted to liking bacon previously
Omniman over 11 years ago
Actually, I understand that pigs like bacon as much as anyone.
rgcviper over 11 years ago
This one made me smile. I just love Pig’s innocence. (And, in this case, his quick thinking.)
Ambydextrous over 11 years ago
What is pig doing with bacon in the first place? Somebody investigate that pig.

I’ve heard of peach cobblers, but I have rarely seen a peach shoe. I wonder why that is?
