Now comes my biggest “I love the costumes” challenge — loving the Miss Piggys.

Cause you know I love Miss Piggy, more than pretty much anything, and I have high standards for the pig. The pig is my people.

So I love seeing the great pigs, like the one right here to my right. That’s a quality pig. I have no idea what’s going on there, and that’s all part of the fun, pigwise. There are some good pigs in this world.

For example, there’s the glamour pigs:

And there’s the cutie-pie pigs:

But then when your guard is down, along comes one of these hideous, soul-destroying plaster mask pigs, and all bets are off.

I mean, how can you love that? Even in a good mood. It just can’t be done. It’s one of the more unloveable things that you’ll find outside of a war zone. It’s essentially a Piggy-shaped gas mask.

But never mind that. Here’s another fun, angry-gay-guy pig:

And here’s a cute, the girl who you talk to at lunch a lot pig:

And then, just when you least expect it, another one of these.

Or one of these.

Or, heaven forbid, maybe even one of these.

I mean, what the hell! I’m trying to stay positive, but that really does take everything that you like about life on this earth and makes you take a long, hard look at it. Am I right?

But I can’t leave you there, not this year. It’s not right. So instead I’ll cleanse the palate with this photo. I don’t know what it is or where it’s from, but it brings back all my faith in humanity.
