What does a pig hanging from a tree mean?

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 .

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.

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

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.

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

At my brother's skatepark it means a kid bought a new pair of shoes.

I'm just sad about someone killing a baby pig. It seems disrespectful to hang its body from a tree, too. If it is some ritual for a fraternity, I would want nothing to do with that group. I also get really upset when frats have pledges swallow live goldfish. What's the point?
