If you give a pig a pancake by Ombwah

September 5th, 2010 9:49 PM / Location: 40.111639,-104.7671

INSTRUCTIONS: Give a pig a pancake

Pigs do enjoy pancakes, about as much as mooses and muffins, and mouses and their cookies.

I could find none of these. However I chose to think of this task as a metaphorical challenge, to feed a domesticated farmlike animal a treat, and to deal with the affections that ensued.

As Perry Farrel once said, "If you want a friend, feed any animal."

When I arrived at the farm I had chosen as the location to exact my praxis, however, I found a more suitable milieu for the activity, as the videos will show.





Herein we attempted to toss a caterpillar to the nascent chickens, but they would have none of us, and shunned our attempts to feed them "slow food"



And here the resident Capra aegagrus hircus resist my attempts to foist straw upon them, likely due to the pile left them by their owner.



But here i prevail.



I must insist that the similarities outweigh the differences in my interpretation vs. the verbage of this task. After all, according to Alton Brown, pretzels are made of nearly the same ingredients as pancakes...

and you can't deny that goats are often thought of as piggish beasts, eating all that is offered*

Still, to paraphrase Vonnegut, "No damn Pig, No damn Pancake." and all that is implied by that reference.



*(though I've effectively proven this assumption false in this praxis)

points for trying different kinds of pigs and pancakes until you achieved success. i was looking forward to your "deal[ing] with the affections that ensued" when you fed the goats; every time i feed goats they get all up in my business, looking for more food. my friend Qarl was almost buried in goats one time. they let you off easy. this time.

That was out the door of the house

I stood in the threshold, the pit is the area outside of the foundation that the owner is working on. The goats, I hear, often hop the little boundary moat and enter the house, though I didn't get to see it this time.

They *did* get at the two pretzels dropped into the trench shortly after I turned the camera off.
