A whistle pig's journey

I really hope he found a nice log to live under.

I liked having him around, every morning he would pop his head out from under the shed and look at my while I had my coffee.

Fun things I learned about Groundhog Day today:

It marks the halfway point between the first day of Winter and Spring.
It's an old European farm tradition.
The groundhog is generally correct about 40% of the time.

loving whistle pigs, those drat things were everywhere in rural Idaho. This one guy at work caught one and put in an empty fishbowl and showed it to people, he let it go I think. I dunno, that guy was a character.

We made the whistle pig our flight mascot. I had a shirt with the design we had but I’m not sure what happened to it. I might still have it

When I was in the Navy, the Chief who ran the ships mess hall was named Wyndham. He was often referred to as Blowpork because he was generally an unpleasant rear end in a top hat.

Whistlepig would have been a better nickname dangit.

So there ya go I guess

I lived in Idaho for 15 years and I never heard the term whistle pig. What the actual gently caress? I'm just learning people call them whistle pigs today.
Maybe because I lived like an hour from the canada border? We always called them marmots or groundhogs.

No need to panic.
Whistle Pig is my dad's favorite whiskey and is very good, especially if you get a bottle of Boss Hog. I don't splurge for it though cause I'm too much of a drunk to enjoy nice whiskeys responsibly.

Lol the only reason I know how to use a bolt action rifle is cuz my dad wanted me to kill the groundhogs so the cows didn't break their legs in the pastures.

I refused.

Leave the whistle pigs alone

Well darn it, you made me look it up. Top results for Whistle Pig all refer to a whiskey, and then some South Korean dish.

Guinea pigs are also some times called whistle pigs.

To be frank, I don't think half of the Midwest knows one rodent from another.

I only know the term because of the “Groundhog Day” musical. But it also took me a moment to realize we weren’t talking about Guinea pigs when I saw the thread title because it is so rarely used.

I also like Whistle Pig whiskey though it is pricy. I’ve had a Boss Hog pour and it’s good. Luckily there’s a Lizardville close to me that has a pour of the 18 year for $30bucks while a fancy restaurant charged $90 for the same.

I spring for the whole hog and just grind it myself every time I'm wanting. The aroma and flavor is just so much better than buying ground hog.
