So, what's a male pig called that's not casterated, but not a proud Daddy yet?
Ya know, those crazy years, when they go off on their own seeking adventure, maybe joining a FIRST team (1902?), going off to college, then building houses out of straw, sticks, & bricks all the while dodging wolves, but at the same time just not quite ready to settle down with a little piggy family yet? LOL

Just curious. There seems to be a huge gray area of missing time for that poor piggy when it's lost & confused as to who he really is.

Do I smell the making of an ABC Family Channel sitcom?*







*Or is that smell just my breakfast bacon done frying & ready to eat?
