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.

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.

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.

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

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.
