Anvil™
Since when is an anvil CAPPED and trademarked? Is this a bizarre foreshadowing, a comical misdirect, or just plain silliness? It stuck in my craw - I choose all three.
Funny- a dog and a pig even if they are cartoon characters. I was a pig farmer oh so briefly in a cold winter of 1981. The pack of pigs were like a rabid mad-dog team of footballers jacked up on 'roids when the food came out. I had to run patterns in the pen to keep away from those beasts and deliver the food in their trough. I did figure a solution - duh. Chain the trough to the fence. No running around inside - just dump the bucket of feed (the products left over from tofu production) into the trough from outside the fence.
Fantastic flow of great writing.
