We have to admit to admiring the flash of entrepreneurial spirit that inspired the guy who owns the fictional Satriale’s Pork Store featured in the HBO series “The Sopranos” to want to sell bricks from the facade at $25 to $50 bones a pop.
But couldn’t he have come up with a more appetizing Web site URL than Porkstone.com? Still you have to applaud his Sopranos-like use of a handgun to substitute as an R in Porkstone. That’s classy.

You know, you could make a mint making black Satriales T-shirts—whole thing—with the pig. Only say it is in Newick, NJ. $25 a pop min. I bought one from a produce guy in Malaca NJ for $20—sleeveless no less—and everybody wants one. Waddya think??
