This reminds me of the alternate version of the "The Three Little Pigs," the classic childrens fairy tale. Once upon a time there were three little pigs...etc..etc..
...So all the pigs are sitting in the check-out aisle of Wal-Mart. One pig has some straw, some nachos and a six-pack. Another pig has a bundle of sticks and a box of wheat thins with the cheese in the can that you squirt. The third little pig has an X-Box and a 40-inch flat screen TV. The two other pigs look at him funny.
"Shit man," says the third pig. "God damn wolf is just going to come back with a pick axe or like some TNT, maybe a shovel. I'm thinking bulldozer maybe. Hey can I hang with you little pig with the beer, I'll let you play Ghost Recon."
