In for a penny........................

Chillicothe's annual Fall festival/fund raiser is right around the corner, as evidenced by the colorful plastic piggy banks that are starting to grace the various bars and establishments about town.

A rib cook-off gives the event a pork theme, and the various drinking emporiums and eateries put up a candidate for a pig-kissing contest. The person who collects the most money gets to kiss the pig, of course, and the money collected goes to some worthy local charity.

For several years running, darling, delectable Abby, of River City Bar and Grill walked away with the prize (lucky pig!!).........but I believe Abby has since retired from competition.

As sweet and quaint as the whole idea is, it betrays the limitations of small town thinking............

One of these years we ought to go "big city" and pony up enough cash to get the pig a blow job.

Thus endeth the entry........
