Here Today... Gone To Hell!

MONTGOMERY, Alabama (AP) -- Hogzilla is being made into a horror movie. But the sequel may be even bigger: Meet Monster Pig.

An 11-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9 feet 4, from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail. Think hams as big as car tires.

If the claims are accurate, Jamison Stone's trophy boar would be bigger than Hogzilla, the famed wild hog that grew to seemingly mythical proportions after being killed in South Georgia in 2004.

Hogzilla originally was thought to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet long. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 800 pounds and was 8 feet long.

Regardless of the comparison, Jamison is reveling in the attention over his pig.

"It feels really good," Jamison said. "It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big."

Jamison, who killed his first deer at age 5, was hunting with father Mike Stone and two guides in east Alabama on May 3 when he bagged Monster Pig. He said he shot the huge animal eight times with a .50-caliber revolver and chased it for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot.

Through it all, there was the fear that the animal would turn and charge them, as wild boars have a reputation for doing.

"I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited," said Jamison, who lives in Pickensville on the Mississippi border. He just finished the sixth grade on the honor roll at Christian Heritage Academy, a small, private school.

His father said that, just to be extra safe, he and the guides had high-powered rifles aimed and ready to fire in case the beast, with 5-inch tusks, decided to charge.

With the animal finally dead in a creek bed on the 2,500-acre Lost Creek Plantation, a commercial hunting preserve in Delta, trees had to be cut down and a backhoe brought in to bring Jamison's prize out of the woods.

It was hauled on a truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville, where Jeff Kinder said they used his scale, recently calibrated, to weigh the hog.

Kinder's scale measures only to the nearest 10, but Mike Stone said it balanced one notch past the 1,050-pound mark.

"It probably weighed 1,060 pounds. We were just afraid to change it once the story was out," he said.

The hog's head is being mounted by Jerry Cunningham of Jerry's Taxidermy. Cunningham said the animal measured 54 inches around the head, 74 inches around the shoulders and 11 inches from the eyes to the end of its snout.

"It's huge," he said. "It's just the biggest thing I've ever seen."

Mike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. "We'll probably get 500 to 700 pounds," he said.

Jamison, meanwhile, has been offered a small part in "The Legend of Hogzilla," a small-time horror flick based on the tale of the Georgia boar. The movie is holding casting calls with plans to begin filming in Georgia.

Jamison is enjoying the newfound celebrity generated by the hog hunt, but he said he prefers hunting pheasants to monster pigs: "They are a little less dangerous."

Sarcastic British prats: can't live with them, can't live without them  :no:

Chuck Norris actually roundhouse-kicked that thing when the kid turned is head.

Wow, blasting animals to death with guns for fun.

How wonderful, he should be in line for the nobel prize for this heroic deed.

FRUITHURST, Alabama (AP) -- The huge hog that became known as "Monster Pig" after being hunted and killed by an 11-year-old boy had another name: Fred.

The not-so-wild pig had been raised on an Alabama farm and was sold to the Lost Creek Plantation just four days before it was shot there in a 150-acre fenced area, the animal's former owner said.

Phil Blissitt told The Anniston Star in a story Friday that he bought the 6-week-old pig in December 2004 as a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda, and that they sold it after deciding to get rid of all the pigs at their farm.

"I just wanted the truth to be told. That wasn't a wild pig," Rhonda Blissitt said.

Jamison Stone shot the huge hog during what he and his father described as a three-hour chase. They said it was more than 1,000 pounds and 9 feet long; if anything, it looked even bigger in a now-famous photo of the hunter and the hunted. (Watch the boy describe his 'monster' kill Video)

Mike Stone said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Friday that he had been under the impression that the hog was wild, not farm-raised.

Telephone messages left Friday with Eddy Borden, the owner of Lost Creek Plantation, were not immediately returned.

Stone said state wildlife officials told him that it is not unusual for hunting preserves to buy farm-raised hogs and that the hogs are considered feral once they are released.

Stone said he and his son met Blissitt on Friday morning to get more details about the hog. Blissitt said that he had about 15 hogs and decided to sell them for slaughter, but that no one would buy that particular animal because it was too big for slaughter or breeding, Stone said.

Blissitt said that the pig had become a nuisance and that visitors were often frightened by it, Stone said.

"He was nice enough to tell my son that the pig was too big and needed killing," Stone said. "He shook Jamison's hand and said he did not kill the family pet."

The Blissitts said they didn't know the hog that was hunted was Fred until they were contacted by a game warden for the Alabama Department of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. The agency determined that no laws were violated in the hunt.

Phil Blissitt said he became irritated when he learned that some thought the photo of Fred was doctored.

"That was a big hog," he said.

No you're not, I just didn't feel like acting like a wannabee mod this time ;)

Man :o, I Thought that was De Ja Vu...

Actually that kid is the bastard offspring of Chuck Norris.

An old woman got beaten, robbed and tortured in her own home here in Newfoundland...Canada is sick.

A sherpa recently left a climber for dead near the summit of Everest...Tibet is sick.

A young girl just got raped in Bangkok (no pun intended)...Thailand is sick.

Margaret Thatcher has funny hair...England is sick.

Someone just cracked open a beer in Acapulco...Mexico is sick.

A fat, hairy bastard just let go a nasty fart in Moscow...Russia is sick.

Someone is in a hospital in Tokyo...they're sick...Japan is sick.

Someone is annoyed with your specious assertions and your slovenly approach...MCT is sick.

You're sick...so fuck off with the pretentious bullshit.

the united states of america is sick

so what else is new?

Possibility #1 - You're trying to be funny.

Possibility #2 - You're serious and you agree with buck's nuts (Izzy).

Possibility #3 - You engineered your post to antagonize me.

Admittedly now, those are only conjectured possibilities, and they don't really prove the point I'm trying to make. So just give me a second here to crunch the numbers...

...square root of 87.........divide that by 17.565....carry the 1.............x=.............:headscratch:..................

...................I got it!!!!!..............

...1+2+3=idiocy!

There! Proof!


Nothing. That's the point. We're all sick, the whole world. And there's no need to take cheap, meaningless shots at one particular country in an effort to aggrandize your own point of view. It's stOOOOOOOOOOOOOOpid.

Yeah, we're sick. We got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!

America might be "sick", but at least we have christopher walken  :hihi:

Possibilty? #4 - Trying to make you understand that no one cares about that list you just made.. you haven't changed what anybody thinks with that list of sick countries..


that right there is true.. except that we are not all sick.. but there's sick people in all countries

No, we're all sick.

yeah in the way that there's someone that think you are sick and someone thinking i'm sick but really we're just different from what they think are normal.. that don't make us sick

No, we're all sick, we all suffer from the same symptoms. A serial killer got the same issues we do, only more.

Christopher Walken is one scary dude!

you are unreasonable... good day





I said good day

Good day to you too.

Actually, there were only three possibilities. And as you probably can't see (AND, as evidenced by your above confession) the third one rang true. Inconscient idiot.


I could shit and it'd be more valuable than the best you'll ever post.


Maybe, maybe not. But at least I made an impression. You'll take note now of the glaring lack of Izzy...

Anyway, my mission wasn't to change the minds of the idiotic elite. It was simply to make a point that I'm sure you'll never understand, to Izzy. So that's stupid too.


Will you be my guru?

you're so funny MCT.. i didn't read what you said.. but i'm sure you're right in your opinion

Now that's a great comeback...


Yes you did. That was a good one though.

i did read it afterward yes.. i didn't need a comeback.. you're always just so lame with all your quotes..  no need to continue this unless you feel like a 1,051 pig since that what this thread is about  :-*

That's a better comeback, but it still didn't work. See, you just come off as opportunistic, bitter and downright imbecilic, whereas I remain the same, hardly lame and hardly changed in character or stature. Again though, good one.

Now, I have to go shit and then call someone. So if you wanna keep picking on me you might have to wait until tomorrow to hear me cry like a little girl.

Bye.
