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.
Framed by Jack the Sailor (As performed by Kevin Bacon and the 6 degrees)
(Tune: Framed by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
I was hanging out in Florida, minding my own affair
a cop grabbed me unaware
He said, You're a trouble maker and wrestled me to the ground?
He says come on little piggy
we're takin' you to the pound
I was framed, framed, I was blamed
Framed, well I never do nothing
But I always get blamed, oh framed
Up in Minnesota, I'm living in a home
But tell me please in the USA why they measure me in stone
I thought that I was saving my mistress and her purse
So tell me why I'm riding in a smelly Butcher's hearse
I was Framed, framed, I was blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Well, I never do nothing
But I always get blamed
Well, the prosecuting attorney started a-prosecuting me
Man, that cat didn't give me the one, but the third degree
He says, He is your reward for all of your hard work
We won't save your bacon we're turning you into pork
I was framed, oh framed, I was blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Well, I never do nothing
But I always get framed, oh framed
Oh framed . . .
