Anticipating Lenny's Memorial Day Pig Roast

Big Pig... and Big Laughs for All

Memorial day is coming down the line and there will be another grand pig roasting on Long Island. Brought to you by the modern, " Clarence Darrow " of the N.Y.  Bar Association. Lenny,  The King of  Pig Roasts". It will be, as I heard tell. "An event to be permanently etched, in the mental card catalog of all who attend ".  When good times and great pig beg to be remembered.  There will be a pig roast of a magnitude that will rival the bacchanals of " ancient Rome ". Minus of course, salacious behavior.  The only over indulgences allowed will be the stuffing of every pie hole with roasted porker. Made possible by roasting his  "biggest pig on a spit", up to this time. The other would be lots of smiles and belly laughs.  I have further been assured  that if it is a Sunday, pasta will be available as well for the older first generation Americans of Italian decent. Seeing that it ain't Sunday with out pasta. 

The Pit Will Be Huge

The digging has already begun

Now I don't want to tell y'all that a bull dozer will be employed to dig the pit.  I will just go as far to say that credible information has been supplied to me. That at least three cousins named Joe and one brother in law named Greg will be using three garden spades and a pick  Or, at least one swipe with a "bob cat" back hoe if their backs give out before the " big dig". The local store that furnishes and sells BBQ equipment has been asked to set aside a large supply of 20lb bags of Kingsford briquets. In total,  it will have to be delivered in a large pick up truck.

Many Joes will attend
The usual suspects will be attending. Including at least, but not less than 6 relatives named Joe. There will be one less this year as he has passed away since the last big bash. Holding his own big bbq in the sky with all the rest of the Joes that had come and gone from the family as the century wore on. Lenny's dad, named Joe, is now  busy on the beaches of S.C. constructing a super fantastic premium  "corn hole" game set up. With sacks fabricated of the finest hop sack material. Containing dried hybrid corn and beans. Grown and procured for the project by Orville Rickenbacker. As well as beans supplied by  Jack of  Jack and The Bean Stalk fame. Expertly constructed and strikingly painted in North Carolina State University Colors and" Tar Heel " decals. Celebrating the newest attendee of that fine academic institution. Joe Jr. and Maria's daughter, Brittney. Grandpa Joe's pride and joy. Along with all other grand children of the clan.

Competition of Corn Holers Will Be Fierce
The corn hole game structure will be the first of it's kind to enter the family's game shed. Along with " Bocci Balls" and other athletic equipment. Challenging the competitive nature of all who attend the "roast of Memorial Day pig roasts". Oh yeah, it will be a heck of a time. The idea of being involved in this game of unique skill, intense focus and well honed abilities. Is titillating beyond description. Being pitted against the premium "corn holers" of Long Island is an opportunity anyone worth their stalks would relish. Kernels of satisfaction will certainly emerge as each and every bag clears the openings. Until the game is won by one team or the other and the pops of high fives fill the air. Oh baby, pass the butter.

Invited
I being a family member of the highest order. Son of a Joe, father and grandfather of a Joe. Along with sons that carry the middle name of Joe. As well as a son having the middle initial J, representing the name Joe. Had the esteemed honor of being invited to what has become the opening day of the summer season on Long Island N.Y.  Referred to in close circles as "Lenny's BBQ". Unfortunately I was not able to give a positive or negative R.S.V.P.  The response can be described as being, " in the gray area".
