Friday Video: Food Glorious Food

Today a video with a song that we love to belt out at the top of our lungs. The original is from the musical Oliver! (Twist), but we really like the Ice Age version.


Lyrics:

Food, glorious food, we're anxious to try it
Three banquets a day, our favourite diet
Just picture a mammoth steak, fried, roasted or stewed
Oh, food, wonderful food, marvellous food, glorious food

Food, glorious food, poached possum served flambe
Broth made from a sloth, or sabre tooth souffle
Why should we be fated to, do nothing but brood
On food, magical food, wonderful food. marvellous food

Food, glorious food, flesh picked off the dead ones
Rank, rotten or chewed, soon we'll be the fed ones
Just thinking of putrid meat, puts us in a mood
For food, glorious food, marvellous food, fabulous food
Beautiful food, magical food, glorious food

Okay.. there needs to be a vegetarian version of this song ;-)

Have a nice wheekend!

Friday Video: the Shame Blues

Have you heard about Pet Shaming? It is a meme that started out as Dogshaming and then spread to other species as well. Our current friday video shows us Daisy the Dog with the Shame Blues.



Want more? Check out this photo collection or go ahead in Google Images to see what you can find with search terms like pet shaming, dog shaming, cat shaming or even guinea pig shaming. We'll be busy making pamplets for slave shaming. We've already got:

  • I think I'm sexy like Shakira. I'm not.
  • I eat all the strawberries
  • I clean up poo

Any more suggestions? Both slave shaming as well as (links to) guinea pigtures are welcome.

Have a nice Wheekend!

Another Agent Zeppelin Mystery

Agent Zeppelin has another mystery for you. He made his staff go to the street market to buy vegetables in a brown paper bag (FYI, best toy ever!). After eating the contents he sent us this pigture.

Which way is he facing? Get guessing!


New Agent Tortoise

Hi There,

I am new agent Tortoise!
I got this name because I like to sit under our hammock and push it up. This hammock can be moved around (because it's hanging over the side of our cage by a sturdy wire), and with me under it I look just like a tortoise... at least that is what the slaves say!



Hints for my real name, I live in a small country in Europe, where most of the land is actually below sealevel. Like my 'sisters' (2 out of 3 at least) I have a flower name, mine is in our country's native language.

I am almost 11 months old, and since I was about 9 months I already weighed a 1000grammes (1 kilo), this week the scales showed I already weigh 1050grammes!
So slave is very late sending this is, as I reached agent weight a few months ago...

Friday Video: Secret Agent Coey

Yes yes.. we know, it's not friday, and we apologize. Our staff refused to turn on the computer because of silly excuses like weddings and work. And when she finally did turn on the computer, the silly thing needed a whole day (!?!) to download and install stuff.

To make up for it, we found a very handsome agent


Hope you had a nice Wheekend!

#Olympigs Fifty Yard Nap - Agent 005

Here is our new Agent 005 napping what we think is the 36th. leg of the Fifty Yard Nap. We hope that somepig more numerate than we are will verify this.
 
Agent 005 came to us along with his friend, May, who missed out on her chance to be an Agent today as she was busy eating when Slave snapped this photo. She is very big and does a lot of that.
 
Agent 005's real name is based on the Latin for the number five, which is why he chose this pseudonym. GPDD readers may remember the two of them being introduced very recently. He loves his large ladyfriend, May, and Slave has not found anything that the two of them do not like to eat. They are both up at the wire every time there is the suggestion of food and we think that Agent 005 has grown a bit since they came home from the shelter.
 
We think that he looks a lot like our Agent Avatar but he has some little white patches.
 
From the Piggyfriends.

Fifty Yard Nap: Sherlock

We enjoy the entries for the #Olympigs fifty yard nap so much! Thank you all! One can never have too few pigtures of sleeping pigs (new entries are still welcome)

Did you know that Iron Hamster got the idea for the fifty yard nap from Gandalf? (@im_still_hungry on twitter) He tweeted that he was going to do the fifty yard nap during the #Olympigs, after which the guiny girls asked him to explain himself. Hamster read that and made the beautiful video that was the first yard on this blog

"@im_still_hungry: @Guinygirlz Well, first you find a yard, sleep in it, and repeat for 49 more"

Our Bo happens to have THE biggest crush on Gandalf's roommate; Sherlock (@chewing_my_foot on twitter). So she asked him if he could send her a pigture of him doing the 50 yard nap. This is what he replied:

"@chewing_my_foot: @winkyteam Here's a pigture of me dreaming about Bo during my quilt nap next to Lady. :) http://t.co/QvOSuFiC"

Needless to say, Bo has been beaming for the last 2 days.. ah well.. piggy love.. ;-)

Fifty Yard Nap: Agents Acorn, Magician, Godiva and Pirate



Agent Acorn joins Agents Magician and Godiva in the synchronized pigloo napping event. 


 She then passed the baton to Pirate, who is participating flat on her tummy with her feet kicked out.

Who's next?

Fifty Yard Nap: Agent Cowgirl

This is also a new agent. We named her Agent Cowgirl as she has the same first name as a famous female sharpshooter whose surname is a tree.


Agent Cowgirl has been a misfit for a long long time.. We guess she just never realized she wasn't a Agent :) so it's about time! She is sleeping in her hut and wants to join in the dash.

She came to be a misfit on 5-12-08. She is actually born in 06. She is a old sassy gal. She has the crazy hair. She loves her chin scratched. She will lift her head way up so you keep scratch-in her chin! She is a sweet gal that lives with 4 other misfits. She originally came here with her cage mate Abigail (agent Bette Davis) who has passed on to the bridge. She loves her hay and loves to hang out in her hut:) she is not a boss pig at all. She is a sweet gal.
