First things first: Kevin Bacon is an ELITE name for a pig. I also enjoy, ‘Pork and Mindy,’ ‘Gettin’ Piggy With It,’ ‘Piggy Cabrera, ‘Ham Anderson,’ or ‘Oink the Clown.’
Anyway, Kevin Bacon apparently got out of his enclosure a while back and was on the loose for at least a few weeks. It even lead to the real Kevin Bacon throwing out a post his Instagram page pleading for Kevin Bacon (the pig) to return home safely:
Well good news human-Kevin Bacon! Pig-Kevin Bacon is back home! No one seems to know what he was doing while he was on the loose, best guess is probably angry dancing in an abandoned barn somewhere, but he was successfully recaptured and is now safe in his pen.
My favorite part of this story is how they were able to subdue him once he was tracked down: A Benadryl laced cinnamon bun. Our boy simply couldn’t resist that siren song. And honestly? It doesn’t sound like the worst way to kick off a weekend. Might have to give that a shot the next time the Packers have me staring at the ceiling trying to fall asleep on Sunday night.
PS: Having that tickler file of pig names on my work desktop for 11 years finally paid off today!
