Hey, how come I miss you guys so much already?? DC, if I only knew!! SC - tell Lori we need to go handbag shopping together soon, since we have such similar taste.

Is anyone watching The Godfather right now? Michael's in Sicily and about to take a walk with Fabrizzio and Calo. God, these scenes make me want to hop on a plane!! They're going to Corleone, and I believe there is a thunderbolt in store for the young Mr. Corleone!!

Becky on the way to the dance floor:



I saw dis girl on da dance floor mang, I say to her "Wat chu name?" she tell me " Elvira." I say " Elvira wha?" she say "Hancock" I say " Hancock? Sound like a bird." And I star flying around da dance floor.

I'm still waiting here for you guys!

If you knew what?


I'm watching it right now as I post. Da Thunderbolt!


Don Cardi

If I only knew that you were still at TK's, I would've put my dancing shoes back on, and stopped by!!

What a liar I am! I'm already in my "smelly jammies" (my kids gave me lavendar scented pajamas for Mother's Day, and that's what they call them), in my recliner, watching The Godfather, and posting.

Hey, you know what Sonny is about to say? Touch my sister again and I'll kill ya!!

I was just about to post that! HAAAAA!

You know SB, you'll never ever be able to watch that scene again without thinking of me.

Here's Don Cardi and the restaurant Manager :



And SC sitting at the other end of the table saying to himself " How am I ever going to control this Don Cardi? :




Don Cardi

Oh, I know!!

Do you remember this story from last night - Now clean it up you spoiled guinea brat!!

For those of you watching the Godfather, did any of you see a commercial for a movie (The 40-Year Old Virgin) that reminded you of DMC?

In the trailer for this movie, I swear, they showed a girl with her thong showing above her jeans, and it just immediately reminded me of this.

Oh, I thought you were calling DMC a 40 year old virgin.


TIS

oh sure DC show the manager on the ground, don't show that phantom punch that put 'em there lol

I called up that restaurant today, cause I was really pissed about the service, I didn't get the manager's name so he will be called RM. Needless to say I think I got my point across:


DMC: You have to answer for this service, RM.

RM: DMC you got it all wrong.

DMC: You served that food cold because of the Double Tree people. That little game you played with refilling my water, you think you can fool a Corleone?

RM: DMC, I'm Innocent, I swear on the kids DMC, please don't do this to me.

DMC: Sit down.

RM: Don't do this to me plesae.

DMC: The owner's gone, so is the waiter, the waitress, the bus boy, today I settled all culinary business, so don't tell me you're innocent, RM. Admit what you did.
Don't be afraid RM, you think I'd leave this manager's job vacant? I'm a customer to your restaurant, RM.
No RM, you're off my list of restaurants, that's your punishment. There is a car outside waiting for our refund. Only don't tell me your innocent. Because it insults my intelligence, and makes me very angry.
Now who approached you the Hotel owner or the Restuarant owner?

RM: The Restaurant owner

DMC: Good.
There's a car waiting outside to take the refund. I'll call the hotel to let them know where you are going.

RM: DMC, please

DMC: come on, get off the phone.


He hasn't called me back yet though

TIS, no, no, no! I didn't mean that! Did you? :p

Gina,

I was joking. I know you didn't mean that.


TIS

Excellent DMC, excellent!


Well anyway, they just made a "Last Call For Drinks" at TJ's.


Don Cardi

Late night for them lol

DMC, you don't come to the Doubletree and talk to a man like The Manager like that!!!!!!



Don Cardi

Sounds like you all had a blast! I'm jealous! I'm glad you all had a great time.

I'll be legal next year, so hopefully I'll be able to join the list.

DMC, you don't come to the Doubletree and talk to a man like The Manager like that!!!!!!



Don Cardi [/b][/quote]It could have been a whole lot worse for him.
That man owes me! You could even say he is endebted to me. I think SC knows what my family does when someone owes us money:

" Plate worked for Neil Dellacroce in a loan sharking operation in Miami. He once jumped on the desk of a debtor, spit in his face, and threatened to bite chunks out of his flesh."

What's that got to do with anything?

Yea DMC's "illegal" and we still love him.


TIS

What's that got to do with anything? [/b][/quote]You know, you got a point there.

You don't need to drink to have a good time somewhere. I was having a great time, only problem was the bar was blasting this "music" (I use that term VERY loosely) so it was hard for me to hear everyone.

They are a great bunch of people, 10 minutes after I met them it was like we always knew each other.

I think he's legal in Arkansas and Alabama...

(Oh wait, drinking age is 21 all over, isn't it? )

A certain admin looks blitzed. What proof was the alcohol?

No one can swing by Connecticut and pick me up? :p

Blitzed?


(I'M FAKING IT RIGHT THERE!! Later on, I probably wasn't. )

Connecticut has a restraining order against me -- I'm not allowed to swing there ever again!

That was a great one... You sure that was fake? :p

At first I thought SC was doing some old 50's-style dance routine, until it became evident that he was flagging SB from the dance floor! Everyone's a critic!!

Sure you had a great time, my friends! Hope one day I'll join you!!

hey guys, this is DMC's fiancee. just got home from work,(long xploratory surgery) so im a little tired please forgive the confusion and misspelling im sure that will end up making this post.
i just had to say that it was truly an honor and my pleasure meeting you all. you all made me feel so comfortable and were all such wonderful people so how could i not join the group and get to talk to everyone on a daily basis. as my better half said you all made us feel amazingly comfortable and at home within the first 10 minutes and from there on the rest is history.

to Sicilian Babe and her husband: i never heard about this breaking into the pool talk...i so would have been in on that was that you guys too who had thought up the fish? you guyz were hilarious

to Don Cardi and his wife: hey mang! i wanna say that it was a pleasure talking to you Don, you truly are a stand up guy for the way that you handled the restaurant

by the way JG you can do that little bit of magic you do with my post numbers and add a few on....just take 'em from DMC and tell him its because i said so

DMC ----> :p

Flame Angel-


Welcome to the boards! I think that this may be a first for us all in that we got to meet a member before they actually became a member.

It was a pleasure meeting you and I am sure that we'll get a chance to get together again sometime soon.

Your man DMC is a good man, so hold on to him.

I look forward to our next meeting.


Don Cardi

Had the weather been lousy enough to cancel our town's annual luau, I was actually considering this!!!

Anyway, had a great time on Friday night and it was wonderful to finally meet JGeoff/SC/Don Cardi/Mignon and all respective spouses/children...what a warm, friendly group of people!!

As everyone else, I was sorry I couldn't spend more time with the group but am glad to have just gotten together for the first time. Will try to attend more gatherings and meet more of the Gangster BB crown on future excursions!!

By the way...the pastrami y'all sent me home with was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Now...I'll be dreaming about it till the next time I can get my hands on a good batch. If you ever decide to gather at Harold's Deli again, feel free to let me know, now that I know where to find it I'll be there before, not after the dinner has ended!!

AppleOnYa

ps - How amazingly appropriate that on Sunday night I came across The Godfather being shown on Spike tv...after having neglected to check JGeoff's tv listings for August, it was pure luck that I happened to be channel surfing at the time!!
