I tried to avoid asking this, but I gotta know  Why is this called 'The Blind Pig'?? They are usually the first to be barbecued, so....  |

I could be wrong but I think it's a play on words for the expression "In a pigs' eye" meaning of course nonsense which of course if your not talking about razors you are talking nonsense  Edit: whoops just saw that the term "blind pig" was also used for a "speakeasy" (illegal bar to buy booze during prohibition) that makes more sense  |

Bit of a tangent, but recently one of Al Capone's historic hideouts was recently auctioned in Wisconsin. It had a separate building that was described as "jail like" How I wish I was loaded. I would love to make that my home. Plus, I would love to have an 8 car garage and guard tower. had to find a link www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/07/wisconsin.capone.hideout.auction/index.html |
