Is Pig a VW model?

Be happy, Pig — at least somebody wants you.

Probably a tailpipe emissions problem.

I’ve got bad news for you pig, you need to wait another 4 years. Good news is you’ll hopefully be more down to earth by then.

Must be a certain group of people.

I recall pig. Don’t we all recall Pig? We see him right here most days.

Maybe they just want to install an apple in his mouth? That would be the core of his problem.

The notice must be from the I.R.S. !

And if you can remember the guest character featured on September 21, 22, and 24, you may have turtle recall.

Relax, Pig. I’m sure it will be just a simple replacement of incorrect parts. Maybe starting with a brain transplant?

Why would anyone recall pig? He’s fine. Now Rat, that’s a different story!

Doesn’t it just grind your gears when that happens?

Just like the Cubs.

So no one told you life was gonna be this wayYour job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s D.O.A.

It’s like you’re always stuck in second gearAnd it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month,or even your year, but…

I could kind of see it coming.

I can’t imagine where they’re going to find spare parts for that thing.

Maybe they just remember him?
