I’m working on a story with a flying pig hero. Okay, not exactly, but I’m being mysterious and my hero is something….odd…and he might as well be a flying pig.
So I contact my editor and say, “How do you feel about a story with a flying pig hero?”
Silence for a beat.
“Okay. Umm. I don’t know. Are you actually working on a flying pig story?”
“Yes. Yes, I am. Have you ever done a flying pig story?”
“No. No, we haven’t.”
“Would you consider a flying pig story?”
“Ummm……” Later. “I checked with the other editors. We’ve never done a flying pig story, but we’re not against it.”
“Okay. Well, since you didn’t faint dead over, I’m going to do a flying pig story. I CAN MAKE THE FLYING PIG SEXY. YOU KNOW I CAN.”
“I know you can. I just can’t imagine how, but I know you can.”
Gotta love an editor like that. :heart:
(And does that cutout from the Daily Photo in my sidebar look like something dirty or what? You can’t resist clicking on it, CAN YOU?)

Hurray for Equal Opportunity Heros!:thumbsup:I always did like pink and if he can fly – think of all the traffic jams you can avoid.:yes:Hell yah he would be sexy – all that wallering in the mud and great for the complexion too. What a tearjerker – trying to get the couple together dispite all the differences in their backgrounds. Sounds like there is a story there somewhere.:rotfl: If anyone can write it you can Suzanne – let loose!:twisted:

We know pigs are where we get the phrase, “screwing” from, right?

I love pigs, and I’m sure a pig would make a great hero. I mean, technically, all heroes are pigs, because we all know that men are pigs. 🙂

Well, I always thought Porky Pig was quite sexy. You know, bald pigs are totally hot. *strikes a Paris Hilton pose*

Will it be titled, “WHEN PIGS FLY?”
*writes it down on my books to look out for list* Wait until I tell my friend, Sally. She’s quite fond of pork products.
Hugs,
Marcy – off to click on the porny pic. :wigglebrow:

Anything for a new plotline. If pigs can get into heaven (Barbara Kingsolver, I think), they’d sure have to be able to fly but…I don’t know about the sexy part then.
Yes, a very interesting object to interpret on that partial photo. It looked like a long balloon to me.:whip:
😮

I don’t know, Melissa. The computer went CRAZY!!! :shocked:
I was inspired to write the flying pig story from a news report, by the way.
