Wasn't even focused on that part of your "response"

But it's funny that you think "Miami" is the only thing the M could stand for.

Agreed.

Honestly, when you are from this area when you say U.M. (or UM) no one thinks anywhere else. So I can see why they'd say U.M. and expect everyone to know. It is always my first assumption as well. I know there are obviously other UMs, but to us this is the only one that matters :D.

As to the pig, what a waste. I can't imagine why they'd roast a perfectly good pig and leave it around when people go to a lot of effort to get one for their caja china on holidays.

Well since you're from scUM.... I mean, "Da U," and Miami has a lot of Cuban immigrants, then it might be some kind of Santeria thing.

Santeria is basically a Cuban form of VooDoo for those of you that don't know what it is.

I know a dead chicken is some kind of curse, maybe a dead pig hanging from a tree is an even bigger curse?

Idk.

I don't know anyone whose "style" it is to take pigs off of trees and eat them.

I don't know what shoes on telephone wire mean. I should know, I've been told, but I forget.

Funny . . . when you said UM my first thought was University of Maryland. Second was University of Michigan. :rolleyes:

Talk about animal cruelty. Why would someone want to hang a pig from a tree anyway?

Mine was University of Missouri.

LOL. That would have been my #3, only because I would have expected Mizzou or MU rather than UM.
There are a lots of different meanings attribued to shoes on a telephone wire, or shoefiti -- everything from a marker of a place where drugs are sold to a sign of lost virginity.

LOL! That was my next guess...the SANTERO came by today!

wow

I knew it was something about drugs. Hadn't heard the virginity loss thing.

could it be fiji islander time?

Good point, FSUZeta.

See, I've only heard the virginity thing, but not the drug thing!
