porky the litter eater redux
i can't believe this ~ there is this feature in a park near where i grew up in bethesda called "porky the litter eater." it is easily from the 1960's if not earlier. it is essentially a vaccum cleaner attached to a fiberglass pig face, and it exhorts passersby to feed it trash.
some creative feller has recorded the audio from porky and done kind of a rap-lite to it. not that i would put this on permanent rotation on the j-pod, but at least you get to hear what good old porky has to say.
hear it heeeeeeeeeeeeer (you have to hit the play button on the music thingie)

That is so damn COOL!
Weird. I expected Pr0ky's voice to be higher and squeakier. He sounds like some bored park manager, which is probably exactly what he was.
john: :D
bali hai: good poin[k]t. i never considered it could be something different ~ i probably heard that voice shortly after leaving the womb.
Hopefully it wasn't because your mom was trying to stuff you into Porky's mouth...:0)
i think that wins you the internet for at least a couple weeks, bali hai... :D
Oh my GOD. I remember going to that park with my mother when I was little. There was a train that went around the park, and they had an awesome playground. I can't believe the pig is STILL THERE. That's so nice. :-)
