Floyd Pig Found

hahah, nice.

It was bound to happen eventually. They should check Peter Frampton's house. Didn't he pick the pig up at Pink Floyd's garage sale in the "Homerpalooza" episode? "Homer Simpson ruins my pig, Cypress Hill steals my orchestra, and now Sonic Youth is in my cooler." Good luck, Roger.

thats pretty fuckin rediculous...you'd think it be cheaper to just buy a new pig...but if I was anywhere near that desert, i'd be out lookin right now

i saw it floaing over reno yesterday- cause i was watchin, fo pigs on the wing!

never getting it back....

This is a total publicity stunt. There is no way that pig costs more than $10,000. I saw Water's at the Hollywood Bowl in Oct. 06 and he used a completely different pig. If I found it I would keep it.

I say keep it hostage until a proper Pink Floyd reunion occurs. (or torch it at Burning Man)

I made pork chops and bacon out of that bitch.

I ate the pig with some oysters. You know there's very good oysters this time of year.

I smell a vast right-wing conspiracy. Check Dick Cheney's house.

my cousin is a cop...and he's fat...can i get $5000 and 2 tickets???

= COMEDY! Best responses in a Jambase thread ever.

hrmmmm .... i smell a- ..nevermind. at shoreline, roger also seemed to have lost his pig. after floating over the audience for the last song of the first set, it started rising and didn't stop until it was a tiny little dot in the mountain view, ca sky, and then it was gone. i was definitely in a little over my head at that point (hippie-flip anyone?), but it definitely happened. remote controlled? sounds like a good coachella publicity stunt. how many poor souls are scouring the palm desert, meanwhile roger has moved on to the next stop .... awesome.

I saw Roger at the (insert corperate name here) in Holmdel,N.J. two years ago and they let the pig go,intentionaly.

We were on the lawn and some roadies walked it thru the crowd in the pavillion with guide wires,or ropes,or whatever. They continued outside to the lawn and let it go,and then followed it with spotlights,pretty much until it was out of sight. So I have to agree with hardingmr, that it is a publicity stunt. If they are getting ten grand for that pig,then I'm in the wrong business.

PIGS do fly!!!

seriously, funniest chat thread EVER!!!

It's just a little airborne, it's still good, it's still good!

A+...Great thread, would read again!

your kidding me? Albert Hoffman reportedly died last night and we get the pig story?

"Buster looked out of his window and pointed up to the sky!!"

awesome

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

I saw the show 2 years ago in deer creek and the pig took off there.

Great....This just adds to the food shortage for you dead-animal eaters and will drive food prices up higher. It was damn windy over the weekend so the pig is probably already in Florida. But seriously....

If Americans cut back there dead-animal intake by 10%, we could feed all the starving people in the world.

Best. Thread. Ever.

dudes i have the pig

I caught a glimpse of that pig on TV tonight...he was hovering over the crowd dropping Taco Bell and oil change coupons at the Pepsi Center during the first period intermission of the Red Wings/ Avalanche game.

That joke about dude's cousin was clasic!!!!!

"OG graf head Slick did up this giant inflatable pig for Roger Waters for Sunday Night's Coachella show." It was actually a pretty nice tag job. One of a kind, which may justify dishing out that much loot to bring back the proverbial bacon.

But yeah, they'll get that back when pigs fly!

But I guess even a blind pig finds a truffle once in a while.

Maybe try calling for it in pig latin.

I was freaked out when I saw the giant donut from atop that retaurant in LA rolling rapidly through my back yard...but then the pig floated by shortly after and it all made sense.

Meat is Mmmmmmmmmmmmurder.

"Never gonna happen..." "this sounds lie a publicity stunt"

ha ha charade you are. someone found it. i doubt it would be a publicity stunt anyway, that is some real expensive meat. anyhow, it popped up in a couple pieces of two driveways...those lucky bastards

No body move or the pig gets it!

$10k and tickets for life? I'd put it up on e-bay. I bet you could get at least $20k. THat is if the "finders-keepers" rule applies in Cali.

Let's get down to brass tax here. How much for the monkey? Or in this case, how much for the pig?

Doesn't look like it was a publicity stunt:

First pig in space.......keep your eyes peeled it's now orbiting the moon.

The Pig was seen headed east. reports are it's going to Cincinnati for the Flying Pig marathon.

I heard that Muslim and Jewish activist are going to protest the pig tour. This thing will shut down if it gets to NYC.

He ate mushrooms with HOWARD and they are flying happily together!

^and Guyute is following them on the ground

I was at the show standing at the fence where the aisle was...I watched the guys pulling the pig around the crowd and then let it go, intentionally, at the end of the song! All the guys who were pulling that damn thing cheered that they had released it with the right timing...

So, I am not sure of what to make of this story...hmmm...maybe they just don't want to litter? :)

http://www.9news.com/news/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=90912 looks like the pig was found..

Looks like the pig got it in the end.

I love the line, "As tall as a two-story house and as wide as two school buses, the pig was led from lines held on the ground Sunday as Waters played a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs" from the 1977 anti-capitalist album "Animals.""

Who wrote this article? Joseph Engles and Karl Marx? I think by he time of Animals, the Floyd were well practiced at "capitalism".

Look, the pig was in on it the whole time... Everyone is safe and sound and reunited. He hangs with my cousin now and than. No big deal.

Well stated Mr. Kirkbrew!

SCI Bought one of these Floyd pigs @ An Auction, then brought it to the

2003 ACL. They opened up the second set with the stage very dark> a very trippy video/audio mix up of The Simpsons >

Another Brick In The Wall> Howard. w/ The Pig Floating Over Everyones head..... Good Times! http://www.austin360.com/music/content/music/aclfest2003/xlacl_21_pig.html

"We acheived liftoff." - Bob Weir

Damnit there goes my plans for a massive pork roast

How hard is it to locate a two story floating pig?

Best Jambase thread since Keith Richards fell out of that coconut tree.

The Roger Watters pig broke loose in Tampa too!!!! Amazing but true, it happened last year, thankfully it got jammed up against the shed roof and then sorta collapsed, but I tell ya that pig was free, if only for 15 minutes (kinda distracting really, but it could have taken off with one big gust)

It's been reporten that if the pig breaches a 100 mile radius around NYC homeland security has been giving the ok to shoot the pig down!!!

mgizmo- actually, this is the best jb thread since john popper got pulled over with an arsenal of weapons in his car......or since keith richards blew a rail of his dad's ashes.

Shotgun !

I was at the Tampa show last year. Maybe I was a little fuct, but it looked like the pig got to close to the jumbo-tron and melted into it. Trippy.

Such a great song!

Leave my Pig alone!!!
