So last week people kept telling us that we were in the newspaper. We finally tracked down a copy of Monday's paper at 7-11, and just let me say this: if you think the shoppers at The Dreaded Wal-Mart are scary, try going into your local convenience store late at night. I think this is where you shop for potato chips and Chapstick when your driver's license has been suspended.
Anyway, so we got the paper, and sure enough, there we were, on what I think is The Society Page, or at least the page that gives a run-down of who was seen where doing what with whom.
See?
And then I looked more closely at the rest of the page and laughed out loud.
Only in Midland, Texas.

So, um . . . were you dining at the stock show?
You're living high on the hog!
Snort. Oh, yeah, baby--it's where the vegetarians always hang out! Nope, we were at the Jazz Society's Mardi Gras dance. I'm not sure what party they were having at the stock show. . . .
Ho, ho. Y'all are funny!
Nice picture!
I'm thinkin' the nailpolish is what did it. Those society types have the high standard you know. And I'm askin' "Does the armed forces rank lower than the pigs?"
This is hilarious! Only in Texas would a hog make the society page. Who knows, it may actually be smarter than some of the socialites. Hogs are known for their high intelligence.
Wrong i bet in Iowa it is the society page.
why does this stuff always happen in Texas? we are classy... I know we are... LOL just glad you were ABOVE the pig...
I think it's hysterical that you and Earl ended up on the society page...of all places. And considering the way you feel about the local paper..doubly funny!
We do love the folks at the Jazz Society, though--and they're the ones who took the photos.
WOW! I just got myself up off of the floor! Unbelievable! At least you guys got top (top ogf the page) billing!
HA! I love Texas!
Feeling special?
I'm laughing out loud! I have been friends with Marilyn Harrison since we started our after-college careers in IL 50 years ago. I never expected to see you in her column! I love it, love it, love it!
Well, you know, sharing the page with the hog is God's way of keeping things in perspective. LOL Wouldn't want you to go all "fancy schmancy" on us. ;=}
See this is what happens when you "snort" while laughing? who told them?
i love it! and i love texas. i've always lived in texas so fancy social gatherings and cattle round-ups can merge into the same event. why not hogs? or chickens. it is pretty funny though. they are supposed to be really smart. wonder if she posed for the camera? you guys look good.
