Wrestling Pigs and Bees

What a difference a little punctuation makes!  Without the commas, you might think this post is going to be about a new WWF style of wrestling...one that involves farm animals and insects.  Unfortunately, the title should be "Wrestling, Pigs, and Bees"  or if I order it correctly, "Pigs, Bees, and Wrestling."  Just having a little bit of grammar-geek fun.  Another bit of grammar fun I had this weekend came from an email I got inviting me to the "Seafare" parade.  I wish!  Sea-fare is one of my favorite cuisines.  It was really asking if we wanted to go to the "Seafair" parade, which is an entirely different event and one I do not enjoy.  Anyhow, back to pigs, bees, and wrestling.

We were invited to a birthday party Luau yesterday where they roasted a whole pig.   The hosts were a great family in Kingston who are the ultimate "do-it-yourself-ers".  Seriously, when the world ends, I'm heading to their house!  They hunt, raise their own pork, can all their produce, keep bees, make their own cabinetry and picnic tables, build beautiful water features in their yard...you name it, they can do it.

Here's the pig!  The meat was so tender and juicy!  It cooked for over 12 hours.

Ron's three bee hives are producing so much honey this year, he sent out an emergency plea for more boxes.  Brad let him use some of ours, so while we were there, he and Ron checked the bees.  It looks like the honey will be ready to harvest in about a week, so we're going back to help with the harvest and according to Ron, we should bring home about 5 gallons of honey.  That's a lot of honey!

This is one of Ron's smaller hives.  His other two have more boxes, all full!

On our way home from Kingston, we passed through Suquamish where we saw a wrestling ring with WWF style wrestlers competing.  Of course we had to stop and see what was going on!  They were in the middle of a tag-team event.  A man and a woman vs. two men.  It was too much fun!  We sat in the grass and laughed our heads off as the two men beat each other up, then the man tagged the woman and she pinned the other man and won the match!

A new idea for my next adventure???  Hmmmm.....

Then the MC came out and announced a "Battle Royale".  He proceeded to take off his jacket, tear off his tie, pull of his shirt, and about 20 other wrestlers busted out of a tent and the fight was on!

The idea is to try to throw each other out of the ring, last one standing wins!   We were routing for the creepy superman-clown guy, but in the end Mr. Black-tighty-pants and Mr. Red-tighty-pants ended up in the ring fighting for the belt, which was a little confusing for us not familiar with the wrestling rules since they weren't in the ring during the main bout.  They were the two standing on the grass fighting the ones who were thrown out of the ring.  Mr. Red-tighty-pants eventually bested Mr. Black-tighty-pants and was awarded the Suquamish Belt. We're assuming he's now on his way to fight for the Kitsap County Belt, only steps away from world renown, I'm sure!
