gotta have a blank canvas for skin grafts amirite?  A little (a lot) of bleach, some re-tensioning with heavy steel cables, and a quick oven curing, and this pig's skin is good to go.  You know what?  Instead of chopping up cute little pink pigs to use as footballs, why not use the meaner, ruder bi-pedal/motorized species commonly found in the Southern and Midwestern United States?  This way, we can have an abundance of sports equipment with a cool vintage feel to keep active with, while also eliminating fat from our daily regimen. (yes, I was trying to be punny, but I meant every word of what I said.)
