Person 1 -	"This is my friend Gord. He's the one who wrote that funny thing about Wieners and brat wurst on the site."

Person 1 -	"There's something wrong with Pigdump. I think there's another pigdump.com site, cuz I saw a stupid cartoon with a chicken and Colonel Sanders."

Do you notice a trend? What has become painfully obvious to the TQ Content development team is that recently, Pigdump has sucked. Okay, we were out of province. Sure, we had jet lag then moved into new office space. We've been lame to the point of sucking ass for a week and a half. Fine. I just want you to know that Pigdump's face is red, our ego is at an all-time on-line low. Let's face it, we'll be delaying our IPO. And why? Because we have failed to deliver the very thing we promised back in 1989 when Pigdump was nothing more than graffiti scratched on the bathroom wall: exciting, informative and often thrilling Top Quality Content^TM.

So do we stay or do we go? That will be up to you, dear readers. If in the next few weeks you feel we ain't up to snuff, well just, you know, tell us, and we'll haul our sorry asses off the World Wide Web for ever and ever. But I'll tell you this, we enjoy a challenge when our backs are against the wall, when we have to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, when it feels like we're chasing a fart in a hail storm. Dare us to give you TQC^TM, darnit, and just look out!

Don't say we didn't warn you! Thanks and good luck.

Tomorrow: Here are these people again.
