Ah this is living

Wyoming has its annual state fair in Douglas, Wyoming located on the eastern side of the state which makes it geographically challenged for many Wyoming residents to attend. None the less the fair had Pig wrestling tonight. This was an event where winning pig wrestling teams from all of the county fairs in Wyoming could compete as well as other teams if there were enough spots. The ladies from the church I attend entered the contest as an at large team meaning they did not win the county fair tournament. Pig wrestling is quite simple; you get 4 people and you enter a ring and go and grab the pig and place him in a barrel butt first. You do this in a muddy pit where you get absolutely no traction and the mud is bentonnite (spelling?) and from what I hear it is quite slippery. each team gets 1 minute to corral the pig and put him in the barrel. Did I mention they also grease the pig. Anyways the ladies known as the Bacon Lady tackler's (BLT's) did a great job tonight they got the pig in the barrel at the last second of a minute. It didn't get them to place in the tournament but it gives them great momentum for next year. They now will retreat into there homes for a few weeks before they return to a new and improved winter regimen of pig wrestling practices. It is amazing that with the pigs constant squealing that PETA hasn't stormed into Douglas and demanded that the pigs be released and the wrestling stopped. I guess if they discontinue this event they can replace this money making operation with a pancake and sausage or bacon breakfast.

On another note the Yankees won a game tonight thanks to the Minnesota Twins. The Twins have been very cooperative to the Yankees this season. Should be a fun day tomorrow, good night.
