SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:  An Official Double Dip Dare . . . -- Dare One:  When This Pig Gets Pumped . . . -- A pot-bellied pig sank his teeth into the leg of a burglar who was trying to rob his owner.   Arnold, who weighs 21 stone, also stopped a burglar from getting into a neighbour's house by biting him.   The animal has become a celebrity among police officers in his home town of Minneapolis.   Arnold first showed his crime fighting abilities when his owner Becky Moyer spotted burglars in her garage.  She told the Star Tribune: "There were two guys in there.   One of them put something in my back that felt like a gun, and they said they wanted my purse.  I said my purse was in the house.  When we went in, I screamed for Arnold, and he got up and grabbed the guy by the leg.  He yelled, 'There's a pig in here!' and ran.  There was blood all over."  She added: "The police gave him that 'crime-fighter' name.  When they're in the neighbourhood, they like to stop by and pet him."  Arnold was a present from her boyfriend.   "Some people get lingerie," she said. "I got a pig."  Dare Two:  . . . The Police Get Pissed . . . -- A Florida policeman who caught a trouble-making pig after a 300-yard chase had to call for back-up to help him keep it under 'arrest'.  Ocala officer Carl Dunlap managed to hold on to the 14-stone pig's ears and hind legs but said he was afraid the pig would wriggle free.   Three fellow officers arrived on the scene and managed to herd it on to a trailer.   Residents had complained the pig had been destroying property.  "He spotted the hog, chased him for about 300 yards and finally was able to wrestle him to the ground,'' said Captain Robert Douglas, who heard his shouts for help over the radio.  Minutes later, Captain Douglas, Captain Mike Deen and Deputy John Shivley arrived on the scene to help Dunlap end the struggle.  "The first thing Dunlap said was that he sure was glad we showed up because he really didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to hold on," Captain Douglas said.  The four men loaded the pig on to a trailer and took it to Marion County Animal Control buildings, where officials placed the pig in a dog pen.


Those Daring Young Pigs in the News by MMario
(Tune:  The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze)

Once I was agile, but now I'm a klutz,
Like an old tin can all covered with rust;
Lost in this world, and now left in a pen
Taken down by a Florida Cop
I ran and I dodged for three hundred yards,
Like the greatest of broken field runs
But my ears and my hams were soon seized in his hands
And he called for his backup to come.

Chorus:
They revel in news. They adore all the press.
Those clever young pigs who are from the U. S.
The envy of neighbors, boars, barrows and gilts,
And next Wednesday they turn into HAM!

There came Douglas and Deen and young deputy John;
But 'twas Dunlop who grabbed the pigskin
And he twisted my limbs, man he really hung in
Down in Florida's County Marin

Chorus

In Minnasota, It's Arnold who gets glory all day;
The pride of the Moyer's; Oy Vay!
Un-orthodox, yes, all the neighbor do say
But treif keeps the burglers away!

Chorus

Arnold was milk-fed by bottle and hand;
A true gentle-pig they do say;
Until a thief tried to get in his way;
And he bit down to uphold the law!
