160 lb adult pig + 1 Honda Civic + 1 wireless temperature probe + 1 crazy Chinese neighbor + 3 bands + 1 dunk tank + 1 ice cream truck = 3rd ANNUAL 29 MILLER PIG ROAST 2008
I know this is Lily's blog but I think she'd want me to share this.
So, last year a 120 lb pig was too small so Chris orders a 160 lb pig and drives to western Massachusetts to pick it up. In a Honda Civic. According to Tony, the guy at the farm's reaction was "YOU BROUGHT A CAR?!?!" That's right: everyone else who buys a hog brings a truck/trailer/wagon/van to haul their pork feast.
How quickly does 160 lbs of pork cook on a spit? Log onto www.hoglogger.com to find out. The short answer is: longer than Chris' wireless temperature probes can withstand the heat of a charchoal grill.
As if this party was ever doomed to be boring the boys brought in a dunk tank, 3 bands and an ice cream truck to keep things interesting. Luckily, the next door neighbor provided plenty of entertainment for FREE! Poor lady, looks like she picked a bad day to quit taking quaaludes. (Bonus points for the movie reference). Unfortunately, Somerville's finest had to make one too many visits to 29 Miller and the last 2 bands did not get to rock the commuter rail. Good luck to Jeff as he fight for his right to party in Somerville Municipal Court.
I'm already looking forward to next year.
