Before I click I'm just going to say PLEASE BE A PICTURE PLEASE BE A PICTURE.

What, no pictures?

― Going Through The Motions (kate), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

No photos? What kind of reporting is that?

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

That is the sad part of the story.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

DAMN YOU, AP.

i just picture all these death metal bands waiting at the back doors of clubs staring at their watches saying "where are they??".

Er, what were the two tons of pig heads needed for?

To decorate the middle of car tires.

Some vaguely anarchic art school performance piece by vegetarians.

You guys here all day?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

the headcheese industry may never recover from this tragedy

― timmy tannin (pompous), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

You guys here all day?

Yes, try the veal.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

Where's the punchline?

You must be new here.

Tuomas by god that is damn near the stupidest question you've ever asked on this board and from this point forward I wash my hands of having any pity for you when these mongrels come to feast upon your faux-naivety.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

What?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

How was I to know if they're here all day?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

All AP photographers should be fired for not being there.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

That's rough for the Madagascarean one.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

to be fair to the driver long distance driving on highway can often make people lose their heads.

Tuomas in being pigheaded shockah

Einsturzende Neubauten needed props for their live reenactment of "Lord Of The Flies". They now have a truckload of eyeglasses they can do nothing with.

this could've really helped with my pre-Halloween warmup costume

never lost her head, even when she was giving head...

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

Damn. No pics in the German press (Blutige Schweineköpfe erschreckten Autofahrer, dude) either (or at least, haven't found any yet)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 01:23 (nineteen years ago)

My German is kinda bad, does that report explain what the two tons of heads were going to be used for?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 06:57 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, these whole thing sounds kinda like a Halloweentime urban legend.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 07:02 (nineteen years ago)

I find it fascinating that the first thing people come up with is that they were FOR something. Did it ever occur to you that the truck could have been on its way to an incineration oven? ("Hey look, a garbage truck! Someone sure ordered a lot of garbage, I wonder what they need it for")

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 07:53 (nineteen years ago)

Also: congratulations everyone for not posting the animated gif of the enthusiastic dude who beheads a pig with a chainsaw. Yet.

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:18 (nineteen years ago)

er, there really is no "waste" in the animal meat industry, dude. xpost

― timmy tannin (pompous), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

Oh. Ok then. Maybe they were going to be used for art:

Germans and Austrians have all kinds of uses for pig heads. Go visit an Austrian butcher around New Year's. Bleeeeeurrgh.

Anyway, the best part of that German article is this: "To quote the police report, 'they grinned at everyone else on the road through hollowed cheeks'."

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:54 (nineteen years ago)

Lots of uses for pigs head in all kinds of european cuisine. Brawn in the UK, Pigs cheek stew in catalonia, lovely.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:57 (nineteen years ago)

while in America they just get used in pornography.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

Pigs cheek stew

I have actually had and greatly enjoyed cured "hog jowls," which sound a lot better than "pig cheeks" and taste more or less like prosciutto.

"Henri Lamm says he's been 'calling for more inspections, more precautions' for years now, but adds, 'nobody would listen, they're just too pig-headed.' It seems justice is a dish best served... all over the highway."

My friend in High School was from Bosnia, and there was usually some kind of animal head in teh freezer.

NOT Pig though, since they were Islam.

so it was some sort of voodoo thing?
