Best thing you could do. FWIW- I agree that most of the Chicagoland threads are bullshit and divisive and childish.

Curious & interested is one thing. Being from Bumblefuck, Scotland/Montana & being obsessed with LCN is pathetic.

You simply making stuff up out of thin air doesn't "shred" me. No matter how many times you claim it does. I've shown that the FBI disagrees with your claims on any number of things. All you have is "The FBI lies." Blah, blah, blah.

You don't provide any verifiable facts that haven't been excruciatingly recited over & over.....and over again.

I suppose the word "troll" was a bit harsh. You're not clever enough to be a troll. You honestly think you're contributing interesting, noteworthy factoids that people want to read.

I made it c lear I am NOT part of the NY vs Chicago pissing match, but just out of curiosity, have you been to Chicago SC?

Many, many times. I went to college near there and my first wife's family were from there. Thanks for your interest in my life. When you get to my pizza preference just ask.

Ha... in a way, though, both sides are right.

The only stuff that can really be proven is what comes out at court.

Of course there is a lot more going on than that.

But, the fact that there is a lot more going on than that, doesn't mean that every rumor you hear (online or in real life) holds water... and certainly not that everyone who pretends to have the skinny actually does.

Anyway, it's an Internet forum, BSing is basically what it's for.

That being said, when the quality of the BSing drops to a level when the credibility is almost nonexistent, it ceases to become interesting, and that is pretty much what happens here in a cycle whenever there is nothing concrete to talk about.

I will say that I think there are people on this forum who actually either make stuff, up, though, or come very close to literally making things up to sound like they know what they're talking about.

No one bats 1,000. When someone pretends to have inside information on literally every Outfit-related subject under the sun, past or present, it's time to start listening with a boulder of salt.

People don't realize how small south philly is and how much people talk and how everyone knows each other. And mafia is a subject that does come up. and I am not saying a made guy telling someone directly. But people know peoples busines here and some of the young guys do brag these days so info leaks wheter a rumor or true. But we shouldn't be put down when we post something like that. And everyone has a bookie...so you will know if they are connected or not. Acccording to Ivey...all bookies in Philly are some what connected. That was another one of our convos. I know this is an Outfit thread...so I am done now. But had to get off my chest especially after Johnnys great post

Exactly DellaCroce...during Scarfo...you had to. My dads good friend was a Bookie who moved a little meth on the side in the 80s. Scarfo took from him. Merlino only messed with guys he knew he could mess with. Most guys these days, including mine, are independents.

Thats best for you there Ivey...Grab your ball and go home. No grudges here...I just don't like how you come off. You can CLAIM to call me and everyone else out... but not everyone falls for your cock cuddling FBI bullshit. Your right and everyone else is ALWAYS wrong. I stand by everything I have said. I don't make outlandish claims on here. How many forums do you need to be suspended from or kicked off of to realize that your not Mob King?? Your just upset that people don't swing from your ball sack like they use to. When you go home tonight and your sitting online by yourself googling...think about it bro.

I've never seen you contribute a shred of concrete fact here. I've never seen you contribute anything interesting or anything of note that would make anyone go "hmm, that's interesting, please go on." People call for you to pipe down & go Away because you cut copy & paste articles from websites. It gets tiring reading things I could just Google & read myself.

We've been over this,,,I don't say the FBI lies...the FBI says it lies (Blah Blah Blah)

In Chicago Pizza, Geordano's..no contest, but being from NY I will always prefur Rays from the city and upstate hand tossed
I guess my point was I'm not sure how anyone who has spend more then a week in Chicago in the past 10 years could possibly be in the "Outfit is Dead" camp. A drive down North Avenue or an hour is Rosemont should soundly put that to bed
Thats all I'm sayin

You mean Giordano's? Much better pizza in Chicago than Giordano's. It's good, but nowhere near the best.

Well there should be a theory where the longer an OC thread goes on the probability of a reference to pizza comparison approaches 1.

Sonny's Law.

Can you list your sources? Or should that be "sauces"?

Pretty cheesy, SC.

See what I did there?

Appropriate since today is 3.14 (Pie day).

Not too many members here are going to get that one. But I did. Because I'm smaaht .

You realize it must be a Sicilian pizza. Why? Because pie are squared. Oy.
