Maybe we should rename it Obama Day? And the disenfranchised everywhere will rejoice. Together we can. Or at least you can, if you believe… Or something inspirational.

This card was brought to us by BenSchwartz.

Please deceive us into thinking winter will end.  Please…

Then again, it’s better to live the day once and know, than to continually live the same day over and over and over again. Right Bill Murray?

Thanks be to BenSchwartz for this creation.

How many Mulligans does one golfer get?  With the alleged mistress count up to seven, Tiger better hope his take backs aren’t like cat lives.

Thanks be to benschwartz for supplying the PigSpigot community with laughs at famous people’s expense.

BenSchwartz is always cooking up good stuff, and this Big Lebowski inspired card is no different.  Watch out for gun toting folks who don’t roll on Shabbis, they bring the pain…  Might be time to rewatch that movie.

This card comes to PigSpigot.com through BenSchwartz.  We’ve featured his work on this blog before here.  Above the Law also featured his “May Divorce Be with You” card.

The card was created by a PigSpigot user named Ben Schwartz.  Another one of his cards, “May Divorce Be with You,” was recently featured in Above the Law, an online legal tabloid.   You can check out his user profile and other cool art here.

The Pig hopes that someone will make an apology card suitable for his piggy behavior, but he doesn’t know how he would give it to everyone!
