So what constitutes a HOG anyway?

It's all about credit card delusion. For instance, at this very moment, I know there's no way in Hades I just charged an $800 knife to my Visa. It's simply impossible.


:p
 
Ya what he said

no way in Hades (aka HELL)!!!!!!!!!!!!

$481.95 but who's counting
 
LOL .... .. . poor Bravado ... :D
Hey ,

When Amy first announce online inductions all you had to do was shoot her an email and she then awarded you a hog name.. I think I was "uncle_sausage" Damn thats a good one!

Like what leatherman said ,things for the IT induction may have changed..

If your really yearning to be a "hog" hit up Amy and see what happens. Worth a try ? no.. ?
 
I thought Jerry held a GW in his hand and if you're able to snatch it from his grasp.....no wait, that's the Kung Fu thing :thumbup::D
 
Is there not some thing that you aren't a real Hog until you have shaken the mans hand? I plan on making Blade next year to make sure I shake his hand and maybe introduce him to a few decent whiskies from the isles.
 
this is the best definition given by NICK681 I have ever seen and so true.. It is in the sticky section:
What is an INFI HOG ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There has been some interest lately as to the meaning of the term "HOG", or to use the proper term "INFI HOG". There have also been some other questions pertaining to "INFI HOGdom" .


Quote:
It seems to me that the term "INFIhog" gets thrown around quite a bit with both dyslogistic and eulogistic meaning. Thus an INFIhog is both a bad and a BAADDD dude (or dudette). Now, I have tried to come to terms with that (pun intended) and want an ironclad definition. At what point does one transition from mere fan to the dreaded / admired state of Hog?

also..


Quote:
Attaining the status of INFIhog seems desirable. It is a title that commands a sort of reviled respect; a title worthy of the otherwise unworthy (at least in this context). So how 'bout it folks- exactly what constitutes an INFIhog? Define that beast!

So I will define the "Nature of the Beast" so to speak so there will be no more confusion on the part of the Nuclear INFIdels at large or any other potential Busse Fans.

As Eric Isaacson (a.k.a Eric Porkerson), himself a "HOG", or rather the reviled sub-species "Variant HOG", has said
Quote:
Personally I've always considered it a state of mind rather than a state of wealth. However if you really need a number I'll say it is probably "just one more"

The simlpest explanation of what constitutes an "INFI HOG" is simple. An "INFI HOG" is some one who has acquired any number of Busse Combat Knives, and has an overwhelming and unchecked desire to obtain more. However there are degrees of "HOGdom". They are as follows
PIGLET - A Piglet is some one who has one or two Busses ans says "I must have some more". A piglet usaully has the start of a modest collection and is building it slowly and in moderation.

PIG - A Pig is someone who has a modest collection, and is expanding their collection as rapidly as time and finances allow and attempts to do so with some degree of moderation.

HOG - A Hog is some one who has a medium to large collection who is attempting to enlarge his collection as fast as possible. The mark of a true HOG is not the size of their collection, although it is invariably large, but by the tactics they use in acquiring INFI. A true INFI Hog will use whatever means needed to increase their trove including decieving their significant other and fellow Busse enthusiasts. The resort to such ploys as, having packages delivered to work instead of home, claiming they have had a new knife in their collection for years (to fool the wife/husband), stalking the forums night and day, as well as surfing the net for possible sources of their beloved INFI. Some HOGS go to great lengths to hide their "INFI Wealth" from others, while some HOGS show off constanly.

MEGA HOG - the Mega Hog or Uber Swine is one of the most prominent and some time reviled "HOGS" of all. The Mega Hog has a vast trove of INFI and will stop at nothing to acquire more. Mega Hogs often buy multiple copies of the same model therfor depriving their INFI Bretheren of pleasure. Some of the traits of the Mega HOG are, recieving obsenely large packeges of INFI from Wauseon, attempting to bribe Blade Babe, having hoards of INFI requiring multiple rooms or safes to store, and enlisting family members to circumvent INFI ordering restrictions.

Sasquatch HOG The Sasquatch HOGs are shadowy and elusive creatures who are posessed of vast and uncharted hoards of INFI who move among us unseen and unheard. To date none of these creatures have been sighted in the wild except by the man himself.

HOG Farmer The HOG Farmer or "Farmer Jerry", as he thinks of himself, is Jerry Busse the provider of all INFI Goodness, the one who feeds us all. He is the man with the key to the "INFI Mine", a top secret facility where Busse Cobat Knives are manufactured.

HOGETTE - HOGette is a term used to describe the creatures at the top of the "INFI HOG" food chain. The HOGettes are the lovely ladies who keep the INFI flowing to us and make sure our orders make it to us. Headed by Blade Babe and Shaggi, the HOGettes watch out for Jerry and keep the INFI Mine running smoothly. Without the HOGettes nonw of would be able to wallow in the INFI.

Now that what constitued an "INFI HOG" has been clarified, here are some signs that you may be an "INFI HOG"

When you move the first change of address you file is with the Busse mail guy.
You have ever considered asking Jerry to make you some BBQ implements out of INFI.
You decide the cost of your next Busse purchase not by how much it costs, but by how many things you are going to have to buy for your significant other to make up for it.
You have ever used a Busse to cut some thing at the dinner table (extra points for usage in a resteraunt)
You refer to your mother in law as "The battle Mistress"
You have ever lost sleep trying to come up with entries for a Busse naming contest.
Your name your dog INFI.
You have the number to the Busse Shop on speed dial.
Your wall paper on your computer is a picture of a Busse and you use the Busse screen saver. Now if you could only get a Bussecombat.com email address
Even though he is not allowed to touch them, your preschool son knows the names of all your Busse knives.
You fellow forumites refer to you by a variation of your forum name having to do with HOG, i.e. "Onewhooinks", "Idahooinker", "Eric Porkerson", "Proporker", etc.

It's starting to sound like I would qualify. :eek: :D

Me, I see it like this. Most people are normal and sane. Some people are INFI piglets, though - somewhat less than sane, with darkly looming addictions towards that which we call INFI, trying to lead a normal life in spite of their Wauseon-born afflictions. And then some, fewer still than the piglets in number, are INFI hogs - a crazed bunch far beyond even the utmost borders of sanity, craving for the magical substance known as INFI and sipping its Kool-Aid, openly embracing their insanity. :D
 
Once your t-shirt inventory is more than 80% Busse cotton tees you know you're a HOG.
 
Now, That is the 'Spirit':thumbup:
