Well everybody knew that, lol, but I mean the Busse kind. 
A while back, a bunch of us got e-Hogged, or i-Hogged (actually the Boss doesn't like those distinctions so who am I to meddle?) before the release of the great SFNOLE.
There were lots of threads then from our fellow new Hogs, and we congratulated them on their certified status as addicted lost wandering swine. I didn't want to add to the pile then, but I secretly felt honored to be inducted.
This is an exclusive club. And I don't mean the money it takes to jump in, I mean the character it takes to fit in.
For those of you who have been around, Hog is an important term. It's not thrown around lightly. It means one who cares, not just about INFI, but about one's fellow Hogs as well.
The last few months, I have relished even more the relationships I am building here, and feel honored to be in the company of good folks. In a world full of sheeple, the knife bug can be lonely. Sharing the bug with the fine folks here has made it much more fun.
I'm also ashamed to say that I wrestled with Amy about my name, initially. Well, wrestled isn't the right term (put away those late night thoughts, gentlemen), since she's so nice, but the Busse crew gave me a name I wasn't expecting, and I had the gall to question it.
Thought about it for a few months, and came to the conclusion that the fine folks at Busse had me pegged all along. Not only that, but I am honored they chose my name for me. In addition, it was actually Jason who coined my name, and from there that Amy picked it up. Since Jason has become one of my better friends here, it's extra special in that way as well.
Now, this thread is not an attempt to elicit your sympathy so I can weasel my way into some more INFI. I just wanted to formally announce my new name, now that it has settled on me. A kind of coming-out party, if you will.
Thanks, Busse, for making this whole thing fun, and choosing a cool name for me. And thanks, Jason, for the neat idea.
George,
