Gratuitous Porch Post

For my last birthday my sister sent me a wooden tray with four legs, a tail and a pig's head. (Friends of hers asked, "Don't you like your sister?") Pep and I have collected some weird pig-paraphernalia over the years to decorate the BBQ Compound, but this has to be the oddest addition yet. Here you can see the glorious pig tray from a head-on perspective:

And here is the pig tray in silhouette:

The tray part of the pig is about 8" wide and slightly concave. When I first beheld it, I thought it was supposed to be a serving tray for Hawaiian-style BBQ. But, somehow that didn't seem likely. So, Mr. Pig Tray became a plant support for the porch.

Later, Sissy somehow discovered two more of these priceless objects d'art: a second adult pig tray and a baby pig tray. She gave these to me a couple of months ago and now I'm trying to decide how best to use two more pig trays.

So help a sister out, Llama readers! Do you have creative, unusual, or artisitc ideas for me to use with my other pig trays? Put 'em in the coments!

(And don't suggest I trash my beautiful pigs!!!)

Using the existing pig you've got one for BBQ, one for Fried Chicken and one for Corn Bread.

I'll bring the beer.

What time is dinner?

At first glance I thought it was a chia pet!

Use it as a Bonsai dish!

I think you've got the right idea, Phin!
