Readers Are Boar-ing
More possible nominees for our Name That Boar contest, honoring the prize-winning boar from last week's World Pork Expo. By the way, I found out the boar's real name, and I will reveal it after the contest. Monday I will pick finalists and put them up to a vote.
Tim Archer: "Pokey Pig"
Tom Chechatka: either "The Sperminator", "Four-on-the-Floor Hot Rod", OR "SWINE FLUTE"
Dr. Warren Theis: "Sir Wellington Gonads"
Pamela Ruckelshausen: "Big Guy"
Kyle Kunde: "Small Cap Growth" or "Ga-Ge-Ga---Ga-Ga-Wawawa"
Joy Knutson: "Boarat"
Ryan Cubacha: "Bones"
John Decker: "Porkulus"
Mark Hixson: "Ham N AIG"
Ben Milo: "CNBC" ("Short for CanadiaN BaCon.")
Most complex, layered suggestion comes from Tanya Chakraborty: Speidi Plopperswine ("Spidey - Homer's pig in the Simpsons movie; Speidi - couple name for Heidi and Spencer Pratt; Harry Plopper - the other name Homer gave his pig in the movie; swine - because this boar is a swine")
Bob Gilbertson: "Stud Porker"
Kevin Bliss: "Nuggets" ("market term for 15yr Freddie Mac Gold Passthrough program")
Alan Bridges: "Congressional Bill" ("What else is full of pork? $60K is a bargain.")
Bertrama: "Sir Launchalot"
Jeffrey DeWitt: "Ball Hog"
Bruce Edwards: "Dinner!!!"
Bill Fenner Jr.: "Gifted"
