Picked up my new Prius this PM. Happier than a "pig in poop".

Good for you!! I think the analogy is "happier than an pig in mud".

 

Hey, yet another Cheezehead here in Wisconsin!!

Congrats.

I understand how you feel. I got my Barcelona Red beauty on January 2, 2006. I still feel the same today as I did that first day I drove her home.

By the way, you are the 2nd new owner in two days here in Wisconsin who posted their new "status" here on PriusChat.

I hope you are able to go to the Madison Hybridfest July 22, 2006. See more here at this link:

Madison Hybridfest 2006

Otherwise, if you are ever in the Milwaukee area come join us at the Milwaukee Hybrid Group.

Cheers

 

Hooray for another red/gray Prius near Madison!

Ever see a good pig wallow? It's pretty much an indistinguishable combination of mud & poop, so you can take your choice on that expression. In any case, comparing a prius to a pig wallow is like making a silk purse out of a sow's ear...so to speak.

Yep, it's beautiful - the avatar, not the pig wallow

 

Wow, another near-Madisonian. Congratulations and enjoy!

 

Congrats!

Last time I was driving through WI, I saw an apple orchard on the side of the road. A farmer was holding a pig in his arms, up above his head, so the pig could eat an apple off of the tree.

I slowed down, and watched as the farmer lowered the pig, took a step, then lifted the pig back up so it could eat another apple.

I pulled over, and yelled to the farmer: "Hey, Mister, wouldn't it save a lot of time if you just picked the apples and put them on the ground for the pig?"

He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Son, what's time to a pig?"

Wisconsinites!

Good thing you got the grey interior (my favorite). It'l be a lot easier to clean up after your pig takes a ride. Make sure you have plenty of air fresheners though 'cause getting the smell out... That's a whole 'nother thing entirely! I just don't understand why people would have pigs as pets. :lol:

Congrats!!!

Grrrrrr

Hey onerpm, you didn't enter your location into your profile. Now we can't make fun where you live too.

Party pooper.

 

Congrats, fellow Wisconsinite!! I just picked up mine yesterday too (I'm guessing you got yours through Smart Motors too, based on the description!). Isn't it great?! They said they had just gotten 3 truckloads of cars in, a bunch of which were Prius...so there should be a few more new Prius owners around the Madison/Dane Co. area today.

Yup it was you and bruceb who I noticed both got their Prius on the same day or close to it. Maybe we will hear from the others in Mad town who bought a Prius too. Sounds like your Madison dealer had quite a few cars that had just arrived.

Both of you.....enjoy your new car.

 

Congratulations! I'm enjoying the visual "pig in poop", very entertaining and a bit messy. Hope you wipe your feet real well before you get into the car, and have some fun driving it!

Sorry, I never bother with profiles & avatars & such. I live in the twin cities, MN, but grew up in Cleveland, OH, which is much easier to make fun of.

So, a pig runs into a Western Union office (in Wisconsin), grabs a form off the table with his mouth, grabs a pen off the counter and fills out the form. Takes form over to the lady at the counter.

Lady looks at the form and reads: "Oink. Oink. Oink. Oink. Oink. Oink. Oink. Oink."

She looks at the pig and says, "You know, a telegram costs $9.00 for the first ten words. You could add two more 'Oinks' to this."

The pig looks at the lady and says, "Well, sure I could, but then it wouldn't make any SENSE, would it?"

 

The pig looks at the lady and says, "Well, sure I could, but then it wouldn't make any SENSE, would it?"

Porqué ?

Pig pun, get it?

By the way, how can you tell when a pig is driving?

Tires will also squeal...

Jojo, Bruce and others,
Hopefully your friendly salesperson told you about theMadison Hybrid Group as well. If you drop me a PM with your email address I'll make sure you stay up to date regarding our get togethers! (Usually about once a quarter.)
Will any of you be coming to Hybridfest? If so, be sure to register before July 12th to get access to all the special activities.

 

Congrats!

In upstate N.Y. when I was a kid living in a rural area, the phrase was "happier than a pig in SLOPS". Anyone else (including pig jokes), since we have such a good start?

(Sorry, bruceb---not trying to hijack your thread! If the pig thing gets big, I'll divert it to its own thread. But I don't think it will.)

 

What does a pig use for sun screen?


Oinkment.
