This reminded me of a dealer at a number of SF cons I used to go to who sold, among other things, sets of small stuffed pigs designed for juggling. She would ask people passing by her table, ā€œWould you like to make my pigs fly?ā€ ---

My McAfee Firewall blocks the popup picture, so I canā€™t see it. Is it the golden winged pigs in the Cincinnati park? I had to ask a dozen Cincinnatians before I found one who knew where to find them. ---
