Rembrandt's getting nervous

Well, he would be if he was alive. Just look at the quality of this piece of juvenile art!


(Click here to see it in all its majesty.)

The part that looks like the tree trunk is exploding is water damage. Can you guess which Peacock household prodigy is the artist of this original marker masterpiece?

We'll do some points here...the point pool will be equal to the total number of players. The points in the pool will be split amongst the players who get the answer right.

Incest is best, Part 2

Bacon also has a pig. It's name is Blanket (Named as such because it was under a blanket when I asked Bacon what its name was. At least it's more creative than "Piggy".) and it is a plush piggy bank. It did some initial service as an actual piggy bank but was somehow defective. Any money we put in there would seep out (through osmosis we think as Bacon swore he never took a coin out of it) and get lost so we eventually stopped putting money into it. Blanket serves as one of Bacon's favored stuffed animals, along with a kennel's worth of little bean bag puppies.

Bacon: I've got a new puppy!!

Lovely Wife: You do? Where did it come from?

Bacon: It's Blanket's baby. It was in her tummy and then it was born.

Me: Your pig had puppies out of wedlock?

Bacon: Just one.

Me: Alrighty then.

So we've got one son incestuously wed to his baby sister pig and another fathering bastard pig dogs. I'm just thankful we never got a pig for Bear. They're a very bad influence.

Incest is best

Burger has a piggy. He cherishes Piggy (Okay, not the most creative name. Give him a break, he wasn't even a year old when he named it.) and it alternately holds roles as little sister or baby. He's had it since he was a wee tot. Once it was the cutest, softest stuffed animal in the world. He loves it fiercely though and the pig has suffered over the years. Like the Velveteen Rabbit its coat is worn smooth. It has had many surgeries, once it was even brought to the School of Veterinary Science at UGA for repairs. Its coat became too thin for sutures to hold so it has many skin grafts (duct tape) as well. It is, in a word, "used".

The scene: We are driving in the van on the way to the farmer's market. Burger brought Piggy along for the ride.

Burger: I married Piggy yesterday.

Lovely Wife: You married Piggy?

Burger: Yup. Yesterday.

Me: Eww. Isn't that like ... incest?

Burger: Nope. She was the princess. I was the king.

I guess it's okay then. Royalty does as royalty does and they've been marrying cousins or worse for generations. The Pharoahs married their sisters after all and, with all of those duct tape repairs, Piggy does somewhat resemble a mummy.

Sign of the times

The Scene: Lovely Wife is typing away at her computer. Bacon comes up to her with a marker and a blank piece of paper.

Bacon: Momma, how do you spell "Everybody stay out of my room especially Burger"?

Lovely Wife: [stifles laugh] Ummm...it's "E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y S-T-A-Y O-U-T O-F M-Y R-O-O-M E-S-P-E-C-I-A-L-L-Y B-U-R-G-E-R".

Bacon: [wearing a crestfallen expression] Oh. That's a lot.

Lovely Wife: Yes, it is.

Bacon turns and walks out of the room, dispirited at the effort required to make his sign. Late the same evening Lovely Wife noticed a sign, carefully lettered and taped to Bacon's door. The resourceful lad had rethunk his requirements and reduced scope on his sign project. The completed work read:

NO BURGER!
