I can't believe that these Black Rap stars are trying to copy the wiseguys now, like wearing the pinky rings and black leather jackets. What about the rap group called the Gambino Family? I don't know why they were not blown away yet for stealing the real mafia family's name. Another fugazi is that rapper Gotti, who is a Puerto Rican that changed his name to Gotti. He has a tv show called Gotti's way. They are trying to be like us Italianos.

Fuckin wannabes!!!!

Just a guess but I think it is similar to Catholics kissing the Pope's ring and pledging their faith and devotion. Original Sicilian Mafiosi kissed the rings of the old "Mustache Petes" to signify their respect and commitment. Like I said - it's just a guess.

Most men, if they wear rings, wear them on the fourth finger of the left hand. It became a style--a distinguishing feature--for Mafiosi and would-be Mafiosi to wear a ring on the pinky. Sort of communicating, "I'm connected." rolleyes

Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

... Pinky rings never existed? confused





He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!"

So what’s the labyrinth?

That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

DiMaggio68, I'm all with you on this one. I get pissed off every day seeing these people who aren't even Italian try to act like they're Italian, even Wiseguy slang is starting to be used by other ethnic groups. Black rappers are even trying to call themselves Mafiosi these days. I get really pissed off at this, I'm thinking maybe I should try to get a petition associated with the NIAF (National Italian American Foundation) and say that these people are making us Italians look bad.

I totally frickin agree. I'm really not racist, but when it comes to somebody making me and my heritage look bad, you can shove it. There isn't anybody here TRYING to be a mafiosi unless its you Blackie. My family genuinely came over here in 1907. Oh yeah, FROM ITALY!

1. you can find them at the mob stores listed in the left navigation on this website.
2. if all else fails just have your pinkie "sized" ... and get a ring that fits it.

My first pinkie ring and the one I have on now is my old class ring. I just grew out of it. ;-)

I lost a really nice slender one somewhere in my apt. and I cannot find it for the life of me. It slipped off of my finger when I was sleep walking. LOL!
