When I was in Az and Fla I knew immediately when I ran into someone from Ohio when I heard "Please?"<br />That HOG is scary, I'll give it 430 pounds. Sue hate to meet it in a dark alley or anywhere.Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334174033025219569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-51330924592576147662010-07-29T21:53:30.672-05:002010-07-29T21:53:30.672-05:00Thats one mean lookin hog!Thats one mean lookin hog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-48663638644545383082010-07-29T19:10:42.902-05:002010-07-29T19:10:42.902-05:00Howdy Shadowmoss, that is a good one.
