Skinny Pig, Skinny Pigs and Worse
Jenny called me “skinny pig” and, almost as a reflex, I typed it into Google. This is what I found.
1. A girl named Skinny Pig. Here are pictures of her in Taiwan. And here are pictures of her coke bottle and can collection.
2. Skinny Pigs, the pure evil cousins of Guinea Pigs. I have never seen these before. I wish I still never had.
Apparently they make great pets. Here’s even more pictures, if you like hairless rodents with glowing red eyes.
3. Then I noticed a line of text on one of the pages advertising skinny pigs, containing a sequence of words I had previously thought impossible: “We sell pet and show quality rats!”
Show Quality Rats. There is such thing as Show Quality Rats. There is also such thing as a “Rattery”. It keeps getting worse the more I dig into these pages. I finally lost it when I found one with information about how to show your rat at a rat show:
The rats are bathed, nails cut, and they look healthy. They are lined up on the table. Who will win the rat show? Will it be the one with the fanciest color or markings? Or will it be the quiet plain black one on the end?For many, attending a rat show is a satisfying and enjoyable part of the rat fancy. You can meet new people and possibly take home ribbons. But, it also can be confusing if it is your first time. Rats win by one point and understanding what goes on in a rat show will increase your fun and odds of winning.
In fact, there are about 16,000 pages that contains the word Rattery, and an entire Open Directory category devoted to it. There are also about 400 pages containing the phrase “rat fancy”.
Am I just naive? Am I revealing my lack of experience? Should I have known about rattery already?
…
OK, that’s it. This can’t be happening. This is a dream, and when I wake up and load my weblog, this post will not be here. I have discovered a “rattie” skin pack for “The Sims”.

I think it’s crazy that animals have evolved to be perfectly suited to their environment, and then we go mess that up for some sick curiosity. No offence to the little piggies though.

You’re really mean !
I have a skinny pig & he is very cute.
He’s really nice, & warm.
Until you actually touch or see a real one you don’t really have the right to pass comment.
You really should be ashamed of yourself.
