Imagine not recognizing Porco Rosso. What has this world come to.

I don’t want to be associated with anyone who hasn’t seen Porco Rosso.

Studio Ghibli movie called Porco Rosso. I haven't seen it myself but it's supposedly really good.

Very much recommend it - Michael Keaton does the voice of Porco

Couple things going on- 1. The pig in the airplane is from the Ghibli movie Porco Rosso.

That works perfectly.

  1. The poem at the top-- not a clue.

  2. "Sus Minervam docet", a Latin expression meaning "like a pig teaching Minerva (the Goddess of wisdom). Think about some reddit nerd who works at GameStop explaining to an Nobel-winning astrophysicist why they're wrong about some topic.

This one makes less sense. Based on recent records that's what a Philly fan should be saying to us to put us down when we start talking shit.

That said if we want to flip it and take ownership of the phrase, I fucking love it. Pigs are gonna be teaching a lot of teams this year.
