hmc and i were watching the winter x games this evening, and my favorite snowboarder, shaun white, was doing some crazy ass shit. the announcers were talking about how great it would be if he won the event, since he’s coming back from knee surgery, busting an acl or something a year ago.
hmc then told me how someone at work last year tore an acl, and for the reconstructive surgery, they made her pick: did she want a tendon from a cadaver or a pig?
and of course, it’s immediately a personality test:
cadaver or pig?
on one hand, now you’ve got part pig in you. hell, you are part pig. do you suddenly feel back about eating pork? eating bacon?
on the other hand, now you’ve got part dead person in you. is that creepy? isn’t that how a lot of horror movies start out? why not just cut off murderer’s hands and graft them on to your arms to replace your hooks, while you’re at it?
i think i’m going to have to go pig.
because who doesn’t love bacon?

He is the most graceful 6+ foot guy I’ve ever seen. Root for Seth too … he gives me free gear once and awhile and, well, if he wins … more free gear! I mean, go Seth!
Posted by: jason at February 1, 2005 6:45 PMi’m all about the pig parts. i mean - dang, isn’t transgenics the total next wave technology? besides, my - and i believe it to be unassailable - logic is that i don’t eat cadavers, but i do eat pigs, so i’m already used to having pig bits inside of me.
