Can't believe it didn't dawn on me until now.

Pygmy = pig me. Or else maybe pig, me.

He calls lots of other people pig in the book, and then look what happens to him in the end.

It's almost Orwellian, circa Animal Farm.

Damn, Chuck. Day-umn Smile Big.

@monkeywright: Dude, if I put "Spoiler" in the title, then that would have just made more people read it, and not get a chance to come to the clever conclusion on their own. You are the most sacrificial lamb of great realization - you will be honored in most glorious afterlife! Smile Big

@nathaniel parker: look where he ends up at the end. "Location, location, location." I might have to give it a reread, but for now, I stand by my conclusion.

If I plan on reading or seeing something, I never look at anything marked "Spoiler".

A woman walks into a bar and asks for a double entendre. So the bartender really gave it to her.

Well the Mods have granted your wish, monkeywright. We now have this thread tagged with the appropriate PYGMY SPOILERS.

I thought you were joking around, to be perfectly honest. I mean, how is a play on words found in the book's friggin' title a spoiler? But, anyway. Now everyone can be happy with much glorious Borat-style reading post thread!

I have no idea how this is a spoiler they call him Pygmy because he is so small like those dudes from Africa. Besides pig has nothing to do with the end, I don't get what your trying to conclude. Please "define".

I think he's saying that because Pygmy rejects the mission and starts a new life he himself becomes a "pig" like the rest of America.

Kinda sad that that had to be spelled out for you. You guys should post in the Pygmy discussion thread!
