You cook a whole pig, split, over coals, real slow.

During the cookin, the cook, on whom there is tremendous pressure to do it right, bastes the pig with his or her sauce, normally vinegar based.

Don't forget, I am from NC.

Takes a century or two to undo the damage of a good, down home pig pickin, though.

Amen to that, brother. :beer: We shovel the coals under quite a few hogs here in Georgia, too. Often as not, the cook ends up getting pretty well basted in the process, too. :)
I remember meeting some coworkers after work during a business trip to New York when one guy excused himself early, saying he had to go to a neighborhood barbecue. I couldn't believe anyone was going to stay up all night on a Tuesday cooking a pig. :eek: Then I found out that was what they called it when they grill hamburgers and hotdogs. Silly yanks. ;)

ICE numbers show up at the top of my phone's contact list. There is room for three of them. Getting ready to order a Road I.D. for extra measure. Waking up on the roadside a couple of weeks ago put a little different perspective on things. Also, my wife is insisting.

I wear a wrist Road ID that has links to my medical information via an 800 number or a web page.

My last visit they did a wild hog, which they had to keep penned and alive because my visit delayed. :-) It really should be a wild hog for a pickin, now shouldn't it? Domestic pig just doesn't taste the same. And so, before you can have pig pickin', you need to have a pig STICKin'. For that, you need a good hog-dog to track it down, like a Lacy Dog. I am a board member of the National Lacy Dog Association, and the motto for our breed is: "Man's Best Friend - Hog's Worst Enemy". The Lacys track the hogs down, and bay them (hold them in place) until the hunter releases the catch dog, generally a pit bull, which grabs the hog by the ear and holds it until the hunter 'sticks' it, and the BBQ is on. The dogs wear kevlar protection. Full armor for the catch dog - collars for the bay dogs like the Lacys, who are quicker on their feet than it's possible to describe.

Unfortunately (and fortunately at the same time) we don't have wild hogs in Arizona, so my Lacy is left with rabbits to chase. He caught a jackrabbit a couple of months ago. Good thing he doesn't chase bike riders, huh?

With all the different phones and phone operating systems out there, how do the emergency responders know where/how to look? I'm thinking a tag would be a good thing, or some clubs issue ID cards that have your ICE on the back - it just needs to be where it will be found easily.

We went to a MS Bike expo tonight and TheMister won a door prize - a helmet and a gift certificate for a Road ID. He is keeping the helmet but gave me the ROAD ID.:D

Yes, I have the ICE number in my cell phone, plus I always wear my RoadID. Gee, both have the same number for my emergency contact. How did that happen?
