Missing Coachella Pig Found... Whew!
Yup, that's right. Ding, dong, Roger Water's pig is dead. Found, slaughtered in two parts at the La Quinta country club. The Desert Sun reports:
Susan Stolz called The Desert Sun this morning saying she and her husband found a glob of vinyl in their driveway yesterday at the Hideaway Golf Club in La Quinta. Not sure what it was, they threw it away. This morning, they read about the missing pig in the newspaper and e-mailed the following to Coachella organizers."It is entirely possible that I have at least part of your pig. My husband and I live at the Hideaway. We found a large pile of plastic yesterday morning on our driveway. It has some blue, yellow and silver paint. I must warn you that it is not in good shape. Maybe the balloon exploded or something. However, if you'd like to check it out, just let me know. "
"We went and got the pig out of the trash and put him in the garage," Stolz said. "We have laughed our heads off."
Another tangled, painted mess of what's left of the pig has been found about a half a block away. That neighbor is not home, yet.
Lucky them -- It appears they will split the $10,000 reward and four Coachella tickets with the neighbors.

"It is entirely possible that I have at least part of your pig" ...
Wow... as I watched that pick drift up into space Sunday night, I imagined where it might end up. I figured something that huge had a chance of making it 100 miles away, or maybe even to another state. I fantacized that it might drift all the way to Washington DC, where it would cause a major panic. Bush would scramble the fighter jets to shoot it down, and the "carcass" would land on the Washington Post building. It would be the top news story all over the world.
How disappointing to hear that it landed only a couple of miles away. Meh.
Imagine it popping up there and no one even saw it. What a waste of a pig.
I never win anything...
Had it been a spider pig, surely the results would have been different. Springfield could have been saved at the very least.
At the same time the pig was cruising, there was a small plane that dropped a mysterious substance over the Coachella crowd. One rumour said it was $40,000 in cash... another, more believable one, said it was Obama flyers. The wind carried that off too.... no reward for those flyers I guess.
