Lazy Bastard

The latest post by Jim Hargrove (on Drew Phipps "pixel counting") is a copy and paste of a post he made in the same thread on April 8.

Lazy Bastard is like a hog, but instead of rooting in the mud, he cuts and pastes repeatedly.
 
When I was a boy, I did chores for an old widower who lived alone on his small farm down the road from us. He had retired from farming the year before, but he still had some chickens and two hogs that I would help him feed. After his sow had a litter of pigs, he sold her, the boar, and the entire litter except for the runt, which he kept for another year to raise for slaughter. The runt (I him called "Porky") grew quickly into a large hog and because he was a male, he had to be castrated before puberty so the pork would not have boar taint and taste better.
 
The old farmer asked me to help him do this. He had me go round up Porky who was doing what he normally did all the time: rooting in the ground with his snout. He grabbed Porky, told me to help hold him down, then he produced a single edge razor blade and proceeded to castrate him right before my eyes. It really bothered me because the pig suffered greatly. But this was the old fashioned way done by a man born in the 1800s.
 
So after the farmer splashed some salt and turpentine into the wounds, you know what Porky did? He got up and starting rooting. Almost like nothing happened.
 
Porky Hargrove figuratively gets his nuts cut off by Jeremy, Bernie, Tracy and others and what does he do? He goes right back cutting and pasting. Like nothing happened.

That's so funny on so many levels.

As a dual American-Aussie citizen you'd be well aware of this, but for others, a "Porky" is slang for a "lie". Rhyming slang -  "pork pie" = lie but shortened Aussie style, it becomes just a "porky".

used in a sentence, "That politician is telling another porky" or "Hargrove just cut and pasted his usual porkies."
