Final Exam, Question 16: Star Boars

This has become a routine now: I don't give extra credit but on final exams I usually include a gimme question that involves something absurd. I've done it a few times before (pigs in hats / hippos thinking about tacos / happy rabbits). For my web development class's final exam, question 16 was: "Illustrate what a warthog would look like if it were piloting a spaceship. Title your drawing Star Boars." These are the finest submissions.

I tried to time this one with the release of the new Star Wars movie but I'm not so good at getting this kind of thing done so you get it 5 months late.

Disclaimer: the dark side would have won if they had more porcine TIE Fighter pilots.

As usual, click the small images to see the bigger images.

Even after sustaining significant damage, this pig perseveres. Star Boars are dedicated.

Not sure if this is a pig or a normal guy with a big mustache. Also the Pig Box was way better than the Pig Box 360.

This one looks angry and can swing a lightsaber while piloting the spaceship. I don't think I've seen any other characters do that.

SPACE BOARS C'MON PEOPLE

See, this pig is more sophisticated than 90% of the PHP programmers out there.

I like this pig because it kind of looks like a squirrel.

That's either a rhino or Rocksteady from TMNT.

BOAR WARS?

COME ON PEOPLE THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE CLEAR

Great point.

This one looks like he'd be the first to stick somebody with a broken bottle in a bar fight.

I'm really surprised there weren't more Lion King references.

The Gobbler from Arby's

Stop. Stop what you're doing and go to Arby's. Right. Now. Have them make you a Gobbler . This is not something you'll regret. Go. Eat this thing. Look at that bacon. Go. Arby's has a new sandwich. It's called "The Gobbler" and as far as I can tell it's two things: a vehicle for their new deep fried turkey, and an attempt at a Thanksgiving themed sandwich. It's also a third thing: magically delicious. move over Lucky, there's a new holiday mascot on the block Unwrapping: this actually looks like a sandwich. It looks appetizing. It looks like something I want to eat. It doesn't look like the promo photo above, but it doesn't look like someone was flailing around and accidentally smashed up a sandwich, either. sexy Instagram caption goes here First bite: Wow. I mean, "WOW." Holy h*ck this is good. The turkey has a really bold, meaty flavor. It tastes a lot like turkey sliced fresh from your...

Get Go Sandwich Standoff: "West Coast Chicken Sub" vs "Parma Mia"

Recently I decided that my stomach (and heart) had enough of a break since my last gastrointestinal undertaking at GetGo , so I headed over to the local purveyor of diesel fuel, fine foods, and gasoline to to try their New Yorker sub. Unfortunately it was a limited time offer, and time was up... but they did have this new great looking sandwich, the West Coast Chicken Sub . According to the GetGo Cafe website : "Our exclusive West Coast Chicken Sub is stacked with tender, juicy chicken, crisp bacon, melty Swiss, fresh spinach, tomato and guacamole, all on a multigrain sub roll baked fresh in-store!" I ordered a 3.5" straightaway, and I also picked up a Parma Mia (GetGo's over-the-top take on a Chicken Parmesan sub). First impressions: what I ended up with looked quite a bit different from the picture in the store. Not quite "stacked with" anything, really. I got a slice of tomato, 4 spinach leaves, about 3 tiny strips of grilled ...

Sheetz Sandwich Standoff: El Gringo vs Twisted Swiss

My wife left me alone for dinner tonight so I decided to check out the latest GetGo offerings... but to my great chagrin, they have no promotional subs. My travels led me to the local Sheetz, where I'd be able to keep eating the best gas station sandwiches around. To keep tradition alive, I picked the two most outrageous "Burgerz" on the menu: El Gringo and Twisted Swiss. The ingredient list is promising: Twisted Swiss is the burger with topped with swiss cheese, cole slaw, pickles, bacon, and whatever "Boom Boom Sauce" is on a pretzel bun. El Gringo is the burger topped with pepper jack cheese, chili, Doritos, and BBQ sauce on a regular old bun. I unwrapped them both and stood back to admire the majesty before me. They're not pretty, but they do look a lot better out of the wrapper than many fast food burgers I've eaten. Twisted Swiss I expected this sandwich to be an awful mess. It just seemed like a bunch ...
