THAT'S a SMILE on that pig's face!!!

This is why there are no Muslim space programs.
They couldn't get past the experimental stage where they had to use pigs and monkeys.
(or booze)

Poor little thing - too drunk to even hold its own wine bottle.

I like pigs. They're cute.

Witty response: "Yeah, cute... as bacon, haha LOL!!! etc."

Shut up. I mean I would have one as a pet. Jerk.

well, well, well . . . I'll believe Russian propaganda when pigs can fly.

Oh, Wait . . . .

German radioactive Chernoblyl boars or Russian airborne Schweinebraten; we are assured 'when pigs fly' Fred!

Re'Merkel'ble, I think we're 'Putin' up with a lot of nonsense...

So if your pigs are "Ribbentrop" you throw a "Molotov"?

It looks like the Russians are feeding the pig pivo (beer), which evidently stimulates the growth of swine feathers on wings.

But since this is a formal affair, dining without your "Ahmadinnerjacket" would be an "Obama-Nation(tm)".

Let me guess the dinner invitation was from "Mosque-owitz".

Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

2 Russian tank crewman shoving wine down a pigs gullet. What's not to like?

Russians/Soviets tend to be very practical/pragmatic in perferring function over form......a pig seems a more appropriate substitute for a human than a dog.
But I am at a loss as to why the two "technicions" are wearing tank crew headgear......which btw is very effective and practical.....tank interiors lack padding.
Tank crews have less original teeth than hockey players.....

The pig should at get tanker helmet, if it's flying for the team.

Otherwise it looks like it may be fattened/tenderized for dinner...

I actually have a lot of admiration for the Russian cosmonauts. they got shortchanged regularly on equipment but still soldiered on.

they're still doing it that way. what I want to see is a combination of american financing and russian adroitness THEN how far can we reach?

Flying Pigs always makes me think of Pink Floyd.

what, no reader tips tonite? well let me plop this right here:

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/08/19/f-veterans-anger.html

" . . . Indeed, in the 2006 election campaign, Stephen Harper promised a Veterans Bill of Rights that would require Veterans Affairs Canada to give servicemen and women the benefit of the doubt when they make a claim or apply for assistance.

But now, faced with an uproar over the decision not to extend the term of a popular veterans' ombudsman — a former colonel who raged against departmental stonewalling and has promised to bring forward the stories of deserving veterans — it seems clear the Conservative government has not fixed the problems it vowed to solve.

The bill of rights now exists, but veterans like Bird say it hasn't changed how they're treated."

the good news is it saves on taxes !!!

Hmmm. I never saw this episode of Pigs In Space...

Yah, Pigs in "Spaaaaaaaaace" is what it reminds me of.

jim: I loved Pigs in Space!

Sounds like a job for Stephen Hawking...didn't he recently say we should saunter to some extraterrestrial planet, say like Mars. Maybe the 'beagle' is on to something here...

That would be a nice astro-cosmo-naut joint venture.

I haven't quite figured out how Pigs in Space would work with Jews in Space (cf Mel Brookes)
but some accomodation could probably be worked out.

But then the prodigal son was a swineherder before he returned home so this may just work out.

We may not know Russian cuisine as well as we might need to do.

Little socialists are so cute when they're young...

> meat had to be thrown out and burnt

Burning radioactive substances is a very, very bad idea. Unless they wanted to contaminate the air, of course.
