he's one of Us, he's a GoodFella.

GoodFella

I chose my name because I am 75% Irish, I like the Mafia, and my lucky number is 28.

Well I liked the name of 'pop's capo' Tony Cipriani in GTA3 but changed the last name from the italian- Cipriani to the greek- Kyprianou. Because Greeks and Italians are very similar

Well, my family is from Sicily. The Babe part was a salute to the Yankees.

I just wanted to represent no other character on the board but myself. Just myself.
But putting in my real name was dangerous, all those Interpol agents spoil your nerves when you're being wanted for a couple of decades already... (currently I have an additional charge: illegal storage of arms on my avatar... )
So I ended up as Me. Just Me.
International girl of mystery.

When I originally started here on this board my member name was Patrick but I didn't my name being out there so I asked the Don if I could change it, he said yes but on the condition that 1 day he will call on me to do a service for him (although that day may never come) In anycase, I always sign up everywhere now as Irishman12. Irishman just because I'm about 80-85% Irish (or so I've been told, even though few on this board wonder how I come to that estimate). And the number 12 is a story in itself. I'm a HUGE Michael Jordan fan (if you ever saw my room in middle school you'd understand). Well I read that his brother's number (Larry) was 45 and Michael thought he was only half as good as he was so he took 23 (because in sports you can't have 22 1/2) so he just rounded to 23. I just thought about doing that with his number, and so I arrived at 12!

I think mine pretty much describes itself

I WANTED to put Don vincent but I put and e instead
of an I so stupid

So YOU'RE the Partagas from "When the women are away, the Men will play" :p

Straight from Ripley's (i.e., Believe It or Not), it's been my actual nickname for 20+ years. Explanation: Hanging out with various Hawg organizations and getting a large rattler tattooed on my right shoulder and arm! I'm just glad I didn't choose a Mickey Mouse tattoo (probably wouldn't have lived if I did ).

I always wondered where you got the name from!

I'm just going to pretend I didn't read that first sentence...

Isn't "Partagas" the same name that Bill Clinton used when he starred in the porno classic "Sometimes a Cigar Isn't a Cigar"?

Aw... I thought SC was explaining his screen name!

SC are my initials.

You are going too fast for me....I don't see the link here...can you explain it more clear for me?

I registered here not so long after seeing the trilogy, so I thought of Vito and just chose it..
And i really dont like it now..

From the great Jack Woltz dialoge. except unlike Tom Hagen I am Italian, Irish not German Irish. So Jack Woltz woud call me his.

Daigo Mick friend

I used to have a different name.. I don't remember it though.. it was something unoriginal like Don Vito or something like that.. I didn't like it.. I didn't post much with it anyway and I stopped posting altogether for a while.. like, for a year I think.. then I came back.. but couldn't remember my old name or my password and I didn't have the same e-mail account to email me the password and stuff.. So I got a new one and picked Bogey.. because I'd just got done watching Casablanca for the 9238475th time that day.

I think people used to think I was a boy.

Don't worry, a friend of mine at school once joined the boards (attracted by the many online games, even back then), and mispelled "intelligence" as "intellegence." What a word to mispell.

Mine was coined at the spur of the moment, an appropriate name considering the board, though at the time (and even now) I have little knowledge of the Mafia and its shennanigans. I also love "Capo" as a title. I'd much rather be a Capo than a Don. Only "Consigliere" sounds anywhere near as elegant as (an admittedly cacophonous, if nothing but beautiful too) "Capo".

In essence, "Boss of the Mafia."

But who would want to be that?

End of ramble (if you're not asleep by now).

Mick

I'm guessing everyone assumes the answer to mine. Very easy...I am a Sly fan and I'm an Italian, so I simply feminized "The Italian Stallion." I also from time to time, shorten my last name to "Tambo" (as in Rambo)


TIS

I remember him well, and yeah, that was pretty funny in the beginning! He was actually a decent chap, though; and, I wonder what has become of him??

Ahh! My absolute FAVORITE of ALL misspelled words!!!! Misspelled! :p

That makes two of us. :p [/b][/quote]How's about for post number 2000, we shorten it to XDC?

Ask Don Cardi.

Mine is just my name (duh). "Lauren" was taken, so 8 is a random number.

Mine came from this thing my brother-in-law and I wrote in a class we had together which involved a cat who smoked. Her name (she was a girl cat) was Cancerkitty, and I thought it sounded kind of cool and it was unique so no one online had taken it yet, so I started to use it for various things including the BB.

And now you know the rest of the story.

Fancy misspelling misspell. How embarrassing.

"Intelligence" is doing fine.

Mick

I always loved that line by Woltz when he was yelling at Tom Hagen ("I don't care how many daigo guinea WOP greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!")

Of all the derogatory names in that line, I figured "goombah" was the least offensive.

Hey...I never thought of that!!!
Scratch the 'Luca Brasi' link, this makes MUCH more sense!

Thanks, JGeoff
