It’s Friday night and I have to go drinking tomorrow lunch time. The pig is safe until after that. ---

With the superpower of … a pig. Crawlspace Man develops supernatural truffle hunting skills and a series of bizarre scenarios make this really useful. ---

No, he’ll just develop a slot in his back that people will slide change into. He can also pull a cork out of his belly button and get some loose change whenever he wants. ---

Okay, it’s 2 days later (central time). You’ve done it, right? 😛 But, yeah, this is the first thread in forever that I’ve subscribed to. The thins sends me messages at just past midnight, and deceived me into thinking you’d done it yesterday, so I thought I’d say something silly. Looking forward to this time tomorrow! ---

Sorry, I’ve been out finding truffles. (I had a serious laugh at that.) It is really cold and miserable today. That’s enough of an excuse for me to postpone it. Plus the mummified mouse looking at me. ---

Since it is in Australia my bet is that it was left there by [this guy (#5)](http://www.cracked.com/article_18459_the-5-creepiest-unsolved-crimes-nobody-can-explain.html) and the piggy bank holds the key to decoding the cypher. You MUST retrieve it! ---

I had never heard of that case Mittu. in Adelaide, it is hardly surprising. It is known as a city of 5 star murders and 3 star hotels. Outside Adelaide we have [Snowtown.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowtown_murders) ---

Yawn… It seems to me as though Cicero just enjoys all the attention of people begging him to go get the pig… :rolleyes: . ---

Well yes. But I am a sook and don’t want to go creeping around with spiders or mummified mice. And yesterday I got on the turps with an old colleague and had dreadful diarrhea (spell check) and thought “I do not want to be under the house when I have to crap with a snake eating my face”. I was trying to shame my partner into going there but she is far smarter than I thought. Okay- I will strike a deal. I won’t post to this thread until I am preparing to go into this horrible place (here be dugites) ---

I shall wait patiently. I suspect that Cicero has discovered a site of significant archictural and historical importance. The last resting place of [Stuart Little](http://www.jenniferboylan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/stuart-300x276.jpg) and perhaps even his car of invisibility. ---

Cicero lives in Australia. Everything in Australia is poisonous. The snakes kill. The spiders kill. Platypussies are poisonous. I think kangaroos carry guns in their pouches. ---
