https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_War_(1859)#The_pigOn June 15, 1859, exactly thirteen years after the adoption of the Oregon Treaty, the ambiguity led to direct conflict. Lyman Cutlar, an American farmer who had moved onto the island claiming rights to live there under the Donation Land Claim Act, found a large black pig rooting in his garden. He had found the pig eating his tubers. This was not the first occurrence. Cutlar was so upset that he took aim and shot the pig, killing it. It turned out that the pig was owned by an Irishman, Charles Griffin, who was employed by the Hudson's Bay Company to run the sheep ranch. He also owned several pigs that he allowed to roam freely. The two had lived in peace until this incident. Cutlar offered $10 to Griffin to compensate for the pig, but Griffin was unsatisfied with this offer and demanded $100. Following this reply, Cutlar believed he should not have to pay for the pig because the pig had been trespassing on his land. (A probably apocryphal story claims Cutlar said to Griffin, "It was eating my potatoes." Griffin replied, "It is up to you to keep your potatoes out of my pig.") When British authorities threatened to arrest Cutlar, American settlers called for military protection.

When we lived in New York, our labradoodle had red snow booties to keep the salt off her paws. Women in the elevator would sometimes envy the color.NYGman wrote:May need to outfit the squadron with these for the trip, giving UK and December
I apologize, it was just that yesterday I was doing one of my regular health checks on a lovely old gentleman. 1500 pounds of terror who breaks things and injures workers if not handled properly but a pussycat who loves skittles and has a nicotine addiction. A mixture of Duroc/Berkshire/Large White that I've raised since a little piglet who always gives me a gap toothed grin to say hello and thinks that being affectionate is to lean all his weight against me. He's short one tusk since I had to perform emergency dentistry on him with the aid of a 5 pound drifting sledge. Poor old bugger should really be euthanized but he's such a virile boar and tries so hard it would break my heart to put him down.Burnaby49 wrote:I should have known to steer away from any mention of hogs.
You're the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Illuminati Air Force, and you're asking for funds for commercial air travel?Gregg wrote:Did you know that 2 first class tickets from Detroit to Heathrow are upwards of $6,000? I mean, that's just the the main trip.
It can if you let the Dachshunds drive the plane.
C'mon, now.Gregg wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 2:56 am You'd think, eh?
But there are a few things wrong with that plan.
1) It would be a shameless exploitation of my official duties and station to use Illuminati assets for personal travel
2) The aircraft of the Imperial Illuminati Air Force are Military Aircraft and as such, do not have First Class accommodations, and I don't ever travel "peasant class"
3) They're all helicopters, and would run out of fuel somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, which would suck.
4) Have you ever been on an International flight with a planeload of Dachshunds?
