Letters to The Trough

We welcome your mail and comments. The following is a poem from an avid M.B.H.O.S. supporter.

The Monster PIGS -- A Halloween Poem by Blake R. Beazer (BYU - Class of 1995)

What is that noise? My knees are shaking. I can't keep my poise.

I'm frightened. I'm scared. "I want my MOM." I want her to see what's in there.

A Grunt, not a Growl. There again - GRUNT, GRUNT, GRUNT. What is on the prowl.

Mom hears my plea, and says I'll be fine. She opens the door. It's the Maggie Beazer Hall of Swine.

Love -- your biggest Fan -- DAD


New Frontiers Open with Blog

The M.B.H.O.S. is taking on a new frontier - the internet. Two weeks ago, The Hog Blog opened, allowing far-away pig lovers to converse and read The Trough. "Because of The Hog Blog, now those who don't have subscriptions are able to read The Trough and find out what's going on at the M.B.H.O.S." says owner and curator of the M.B.H.O.S. -- Maggie Beazer. So get on-line @ http://www.hogblog-mbhos.blogspot.com/ for The Trough polls, pictures, and more!


Notes & Notices from the M.B.H.O.S.

  • the 250 Pig Party will be postponed until there are 300 pigs. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

New Contest

The next contest of the M.B.H.O.S. is to create a joke that has to do with PIGS. It can be any kind of joke -- knock-knock, a pun, or other humorous quip. The prizes will remain secret until the winners are announced. Please have your entry in by November 15th at 10:00 a.m. MST.


The PIG Cross-Stitch

Blake Beazer is in the middle of cross-stitching a PIG themed sampler cross-stitch for Maggie and the M.B.H.O.S. On The Hog Blog there will be photos updating the progress of recently completed letters. You may be aware that Blake has done an original sampler themed cross-stitch for each of his children. He has won blue ribbons in the County and State Fairs as well as a Sweepstakes Ribbon in the 2008 Tooele County Fair. The Title of Maggie's cross-stitch is "A Few of My Favorite Things".

Margaret,

I would like to request add space in the trough. I need two ads, one for my new company-Banana Inc.TM and one for my new magazine-BB. Banana Inc.TM is a company that helps starting companies grow and develop. BB is a magazine for all of the Beazer girls fifteen and younger. You can make the ads however you wish. Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Anna M. Roberts
