Now there is a fella in New York. One of them big city corporate lawyers that live out on the Island of Long. You know the burbs. Well every year for Memorial day just to kick off the season. That's a big deal up in those northern climes where the summers are short an the winters are longer and longer. Global warming my foot. He get's this compulsion to roast a pig over an open pit barbecue. Mind you now it ain't just to roast a pig. I should point out that he likes company and has a large and close family. That pretty much do everything there is to do on L.I., together. It is one of those extended Italian families that still know who their 5th cousins are. If it ain't with one or two or more of them. Then it is with another one or two or more of them. Kind of clannish like, I would say. Nothing wrong with that. Family is one of the things you still got when there ain't nothing else to have. Now there are lots of Joes and lots of Joes and lots of Joes. Yeah that seems to be a real popular name with some of these folks. Starting to change a bit though. But that's ok. After all what's in a name, so they say. As long as they know who's name it is. Is all that matters in the final analysis.
He started out cooking pig by going small at the start and moving on up every year. I'd say he started with a nice little pig.Then moved up in size as the years went on and summers came and went. That he got from his cousin Tom who has a brother named Joe and a kid named Joe. Along with a grand dad named Joe and an uncle named Joe on his mother's side. Now Lenny has a brother named Joe and a father named Joe who had a grandfather named Joe. Who's sons all named at least one kid Joe. Now I don't want to get into that Joe thing 'cause it can be quite confusing and tedious. I believe you get my drift.
Now Lenny invites all that can attend this bacchanal of a pig pullin' bonanza. While the pig roasts to it's finality there are lots of things going on. Having some brew just like they do at most bbqs and talking and running after grandchildren and crying babies to be looked after. The older kids try to to keep the younger ones in tow and satisfy what whining and discourse that is bound to occur.
The point is that the pig is done to a turn and as usual turns out perfect for the pullin' and the saucin' and the eatin'. Which goes to show that a north east big city lawyer can cook a pig. No matter how much it squeal's to begin with.
