Godfather Dress Shirt

And for the ladies:



or




Oh, and here's a Scarface T-Shirt I've never seen. Can't say I like the image of Pacino though.





TIS

What about a t-shirt ( I hate golf shirts) with the gangsterbb logo silkscreened in the middle? This way you can have both men and ladies t-shirts (or even tank tops for the ladies) made.




Don Cardi

I think our don has to make Male and Female Gangster BB shirts, or elect a certain Godfather shirt to be the "official" shirt to wear to our dinners*.

I won't vote on which one I think it should be

What about a red Golf Shirt ( I hate golf shirts) with the gangsterbb logo embroided on the left breast?





Don Cardi [/b][/quote]How about a picture of JG holding a cat on the front of a button down shirt and the Gangster BB logo on the left sleeve?

A picture of ME? Hell no!! We don't all look as sexy as you, after all!

I figured that a t-shirt may be more practical this way the ladies can also have ladies t-shirts or tank tops made if they want.


How about the logo, and as you said a picture of Geoff underneath? But instead of him holding a cat, he's holding you! :p


Don Cardi

Baseball Hats. Now that would be cool.


Don Cardi

And of course no GF attire would be complete without a chrome GF belt buckle.




TIS

SORRY!!! I keep forgetting

I don't wear T-shirts, I'll have to have a special button down one made for me.....hmmmm maybe a picture of me holding a gun in the famous "scarface" pose, with GangsterBB above it, although with a picture of me on there it would be hard to keep them in stock

TIS,

You get a specially made GODMOTHER of the GangsterBB t-shirt!

And Mig gets a specially made MAMA CORLEONE of the GangsterBB t-shirt!


Don Cardi

Now that's cool!! Too bad 1) I don't have a belt, I don't think, that takes belt buckles... and 2) even if I did, I think my belly would cover it up anyway!

I like the idea of the Gangster BB logo, but also like the "GF strings". Perhaps on the back of the shirt the BB website hu???

However, DMC, I would suggest treating our Don a little more respectful. I don't say Geoff is a violent man...let me put is this way: you don't want to be the only member of the BB with real bullet holes in your shirt do you? Ha ha ha


TIS

Here you go TIS :








Don Cardi

Hey, my favorite color too!!


TIS

IS JG taking notes on all of this

I think that would look great for TIS

So we have the Godmother, Mama Corleone......what other nicknames do we have on the boards?

Here, I found the perfect one for Plaw :





Compliments of Frank Vincent!


Don Cardi

What am I - chopped liver??

Or a canape???

What am I - chopped liver??

Or a canape??? [/quote]Got the perfect shirt for you SB......."BB Babe", eh?? Oh, and we can have it encircled in a quarter too. :p


TIS

Here's a t-shirt and a matching belt buckle for you :









Don Cardi

I like the second one. I think it fits my personality the best.

Take a good, long look at the picture DMC previously posted:



Now, is it my imagination, or do those black buttons over Vito's head resemble. . .bullet holes??

Signor V.

Yes it does resemble a big bullet hole.

And the one on his lip resembles a big disgusting cankor sore.

Of which I've had many over the years so I know what I'm talking about!!

Apple

Definitely NOT your imagination. They do.

However, I was thinking that the way that the shirt falls on DMC, it looks like Vito's hand is trying to hold onto more than the cat!!

What troubles me is what the cat is trying to hold on to!

Signor V.

To quote SB "Can you blame them?"

Well, DMC...if you don't mind the thought of a cat grabbing your balls, then no I guess we can't blame them.

No I mind, trust me I mind

Well, maybe DMC wouldn't mind a wild cat.

Golf shirts with some indication on them that we are all members of the Gangster BB or something are a great idea, I think.


There are loads of companies that make up those all-cotton Polo-type shirts in bright colors with the banded sleeves, the two buttons down the front, etc.

They sell them as promotional items, with a company logo or something else in the spot where the guy on the polo pony, or the alligator, would be.

Two problems, though:

First, like anything else, they get less expensive as the quantity you buy increases, since the expensive part is the "die" (I think it's called) to do the logo or the printing of the words there, or whatever, in the first place.

Like making the die could cost, say, $75, and the shirt itself could cost $12, so the cost of one shirt with the printing we'd want on it might be $87, but the cost of 10 shirts might be $195 ($75 + 10 x 12), or only $19.50 each.

Problem is, unless we made up and sold maybe 30 or 40, the shirts would probably end up costing a lot more than they are worth.

Plus, people would promise to buy them and then wouldn't, etc.

The other problem would be with copyright rights and stuff if we used any Godfather logos or anything that you didn't own if the shirt manufacturers didn't want to get involved with it.

(Note to DC - I've seen the Frank Vincent shirt and I love it. He has a website with loads of Frank Vincent stuff for sale. He also supposedly has a piece of a restaurant around here that I've been trying to nail down for a while, with the hope that if we promise to bring in 15-20 people for dinner, he'd join us.)

thus, the design-a-logo contest or just use the Gangster BB with the bullet holes.

Plaw, PM me that website. As for the Restaurant, PM me any info that you may have about it and I'll see if I can find out more info for you.


Don Cardi

How about this...

I tried to look it up myself. I found one interview where he was asked which were his favorite restaurants and he didn't mention any being his, but he said:
The fact that he links to (only) the GoodFellas restaurant on his own site shows how much he loves it, but unless he's a silent partner, there's no indication that he has a piece of it. Considering the wording...


...but in any event, I nominate GoodFellas to be one of our next stops!

I second that motion. And when we do, what we have to do is contact Vincent and Goodfellas and tell them about THIS site, what we are members of why we are going there.

"The GangsterBB comes to Goodfellas!"


Don Cardi

I second that motion. And when we do, what we have to do is contact Vincent and Goodfellas and tell them about THIS site, what we are members of why we are going there.

"The GangsterBB comes to Goodfellas!"


Don Cardi [/b][/quote]Not a bad idea, at least when we go back we can have part 2:

"GangsterBB RETURNS to Mulb....ugh Goodfellas!"

Maybe you guys could arrange a sit-down between Frank Vincent and Plawrence.

And he could wear his Frank Vincent t-shirt!


Don Cardi

Got my GF dress shirt in the mail today. Quite nice. Although (I have to admit), I do not cut quite as svelte and lithe a figure as DMC, I am still very pleased with the shirt.

So, when do we eat?

Signor V.

--------------------
"Orson fall down?"

Maybe you can set something up in Brooklyn.


But when we do go to Goodfellas in New Jersey, we just may have to wear




Here is the pic on that shirt :



Is that Plaw doing that to Frank?


Don Cardi

They'll probably make us eat in the alley...

Signor V.

--------------------
"Show yourself, Claus!!"

I took a lok at the Goodfellas website and, I agree, it looks very good.

Nice menu, lots to choose from. That's always my first stop on a restaurant's website - the menu.

However, they're only open until 10:30pm (Friday and Saturday 'til 11:00pm - closed Sundays), so we should plan accordingly.

But, yeah, let's definitely keep this one on the list (whatever shirts we wear).

Signor V.

--------------------
"Show yourself, Claus!!"

Cardi, that is a great idea. What kind of shirt would you suggest for my Becky? Ok Don Geoffy, get busy and work on those shirts Please

Appolonia of course.


Don Cardi

Cardi, that is a great idea. What kind of shirt would you suggest for my Becky? Ok Don Geoffy, get busy and work on those shirts Please [/b][/quote]I was going to say Connie but maybe Appolonia fits the personality more

No no no! 'Costanzia' goes on the back of Sicilian Babe's shirt!


Don Cardi

No, we'll call her "mini Mama C"!! :p


TIS

No no no! 'Costanzia' goes on the back of Sicilian Babe's shirt!


Don Cardi [/b][/quote]SORRY! So then whos kay?

And am I Michael or Luca?

Kay? That's an easy one. Apple!

You being Michael or Luca?

Nah. I was thinking more like Lucy! :p

You're definitely Neri.

Smitty is our Luca.


Don Cardi

Kay? That's an easy one. Apple!

You being Michael or Luca?

Nah. I was thinking more like Lucy!

You're definitely Neri.

Smitty is our Luca.


Don Cardi [/b][/quote]We don't have a need for a Lucy :p
Then who's Michael?

Don Malta is Michael. I told him this in a PM just the other day. Ask him in what context I called him Michael. He used to be Don Vito, but lately has changed into Don Michael. Ask him about it.


Don Cardi

WHOA WHOA WHOA!

I am a hot head, but I will admit you make a better Sonny.
I come to your aid, no matter what, but I will concede that role to Smitty.
Michael was the short, italian, college boy, the handsome one according to many females on this board....now that description seems to fit me more than it would fit Don Malta.

Don Malta can be Vito, he could even be Fredo ( ), Carlo, Vincent.....any of them but I think Michael should go to me.

I'll ask him about it, but I will go to my grave as Michael.

Ok, ok, You're Michael.


Don Cardi

Not sure how to respond to that, for once in my life I'm speechless

My vote goes to DMC to be Michael

Michael- DMC
Godmother- TIS
Mama Corleone- Mig
Appolonia- Becky
Kay- Apple
Tom- SC
Vito- Geoffy
Santino- DC
Connie- SB
Clemenza- Smitty

Does that make Mr. Babe Carlo?????? If the next get together is in Vegas does that mean I'll have to put Mr. Babe on a "later flight"?

Thanks for the vote Mig , but theres no Fredo

So when do I get to slam a door in Apples face? KIDDING

Carlo- Mr. Babe
Tessio-
Luca-
Fredo-

Signor Vitali can be Tessio, he was always smarter

Considering Tessio's ultimate fate, I'm happier (and safer) being Vitelli.

Signor V.

--------------------
"Show yourself, Claus!!"

Ok, let's recast the GF Trilogy.

Geoff - Don Vito (The Don Of the BB)
DMC - Michael (Vito's Boy )
TIS - The Godmother (The Most respected BB Lady)
MIG - Mama Corleone (Don't Interfere)
SC - Clemenza (Loyal & never forgets the Canollis)
Vitelli - Tessio (On his turf, where we are safe)
Plaw - Roth (He planned this one beautifully)
Turnbull - Pentangeli (There won't be no trouble from him)
Don Cardi - Santino (Temper, temper)
SB - Costanzia (Maybe they should fear her)
Becky - Appolonia ( The Thunderbolt)
Apple - Kay ( We're not supposed to like Kay )
Mr. Babe - Tom (Calm, cool and collective)
Mrs.Cardi - Sandra Corleone (Putting up with DC)
BethE - Deanna (Fun, witty. Wouldn't marry a whop!)
Smitty - Luca Brasi (Silent but deadly)

Co-Starring

Patrick - Paulie Gatto (Is often out sick from the BB)

Turi - Geary (When he woke up, he was on the
floor and didn't know what happened)


Don Cardi

At least there aren't any JG/DMC jokes like: Vito/Carmela... Michael/Appolonia... Sonny/Lucy... Fredo/the-dead-guy-from-GF-Returns

I think DMC is more like Vincent -- a temper like his father. Yet also good with the ladies... :p But will he someday run this thing of ours? Mebbe...

Well! There's an angle I didn't anticipate!

All this from a shirt, huh?

I don't see anyone jumping in this conversation asking to be Fredo!! After all he has a good heart, but he's being passed over.

TIS

Lori will be Fredo. She wants to learn the casino business.

How dare you! Just for saying that you now become Altobello and Lori becomes Connie. This way you still get to keep your Canollis! :p


Don Cardi

I concur with DC's list. He's got us all down pat. And Mr. Babe is SO Tom Hagen.

If someone wants to claim being Lucy, can you please PM me?

I never thought of that......but Mary is no Appolonia or Kay (or Fredo ) so I'll stick with michael
