Ok well as geoff pointed out a long time ago, that there was a book and so I bought it, and in it, it says that the people who first went to David Chase about this whole idea thought about making it like the godfather! but tv version instead? horrible idea to me...it wouldnt of gotten anywhere.

Mick, I'm betting this is some sort of English. Maybe you could translate it for me?

Maybe Gandolfini translated it for him.

Christopher, no offense, but did you get enough fucking oxygen when you were born?

Although, being mentally retarded still doesn't get you off the hook for being a liar. Remember Peoria?

Maybe Gandolfini squeezed his nostrils closed when he was with him in Chicago and he couldn't get enough oxygen!

That's about the only way to explain this kid's rationale.

I'm sorry for assuming you're a kid, Christopher, but if you're older than 12, you have bigger problems than I thought.

I think your treatment of this Christopher fella is a bit harsh. Either he's doing this to get a reaction for sick kicks (in which case he's getting exactly what he wants) or he's just a genuine guy who seems to want to impress everyone here and join in but doesn't know how to.

I respect your right to say what you want, but those are my thoughts on the matter.

You're 100% right, Raymondo. However, it would go a long way with some of us if he'd just admit he made up the stuff about Gandolfini in order to impress us. Then we could forgive, forget and move on.

Well, it took Vercetti a year or something to admit he wasn't a middle-aged man, and didn't own a pizzeria.

Look at it from our point of view:

You come on to the boards and post a blatant lie (about meeting Gandolfini) and when you're called on the lie you don't have the cajones to admit it. If, by your own admission, it wasn't such a big deal admit the truth now!

I, for one, respected him for admitting the truth. I suspect most others did, too.

Well, the truth of the matter is he also set up a separate identity and went as far as posting (under that identity) a message sticking up for himself (against Board rules).

There's a difference between bullying someone and wanting the truth from a fellow member.

You seem to keep posting an awful lot for someone who hopens he is banned and things we are childish idiots and totally blow.

I know you must think you are cool because you can go on an internet message board and lie to everyone but if you think this place is something where you can do that, then you are right, it is nothing like what you heard.

I understand. You thought that you found paradise on the GangsterBB, had an idea, and made a post. You thought that the Gandolfini story would protect you, make you an instant hit. But it didn't. You were caught in a lie. And you thought that you didn't need a friend of me. But uh, now you come to me and you say -- "Don Cardi give me justice." -- But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to fess up to your lie. Instead, you come onto these boards and you uh tell us that we blow.

Had you posted in honesty, then this scum that ruined your first post would be banned this very day. And that by chance if a member such as yourself should make enemies on these boards, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.

How did things ever get so far? I don't know. You lied. You posted under another name. It was so -- unfortunate -- so unnecessary.

I hoped that we would come here and reason together. And as a reasonable man I'm willing to do whatever's necessary to -- find a peaceful solution to your problems... as long as you fess up and stop posting these bullshit stories.



Don Cardi cool

Gentleman, gentleman. What's the matter with the both of you? Pizzaboy, I think your brain's gone soft from all that comedy you're playing with those two lesbians. DMC, I think your brain's gone soft from all that comedy you're playing with Mrs. R.

NEVER let anyone outside the family know what you are thinking.

Now we are all reasonable men here. Let's give this young man a second chance here and let him redeem himself.

After all we are not communists.

Are you talking to Pizzaboy or Don Cardi?

Either way, its not a very nice thing to say, especially on a board that you have only made 3 posts on.
