1990. Stimes Addisson left his show The Association Hour in 1989 but went back to radio one year later to produce this radio play based on a series of poems he'd written many years earlier. The plot revolves around a mischevious pig who flies through time giving pancakes to priests from various Meso-American civilizations.

A sequel to PV:HP was called Wampum Pups and featured leprechauns masquerading as dogs, whispering in the ear of a Guvernor Morris so stoned on opium his stomach revolts. There is a classic play within a play by his intestines called "The Dirty Secrets of the Lower Intestine." After the presentation, Morris jumps up from his reverie, runs out through the streets, murders a man in cold blood then sets to transcribing the US Constitution just in time for the Convention the next morning. The episode ends with Morris on the toilet, suffering yet obviously relieved.

The episode was never aired.
