But it was only after lengthy jury deliberations that their hopes were confirmed — the father-and-son team were France's official Pig-Squealing Champions for 2005.
The judges, headed by a former champion, had been impressed by their vocal imitations of pigs in all four of the required categories, reflecting key milestones of porcine existence: from noisy farmyard birth to death under the knife, via suckling and — inevitably — mating.
Um..and people say the wife carrying competition in Finland is odd?!?!?!
Contender Jacques Barrot performs in the French Pig-Squealing Championships in Trie-sur-Baise's annual festival. Contestants suckle, oink, and even imitate mating.

Right!?!
This picture of the pig squealing contest is now, or soon to be, famous, as it's been shown to be used in the Muslim "cartoon" uproar, if you've been keeping up on that news.
Thought I'd tip you off to possible increased traffic to your blog.
On another note, it was only a few short years ago I travelled with my father to Finland to see our family heritage and farmhouse.
A great time. It's a spitting image of norther Minnesota.
