Hey guys,
Only just new to this forum but it's brilliant, well done guys.
It's so awesome to see other people who are this interested and dedicated to everything and anything to do with Organised Crime, La Cosa Nostra etc. I love it but know no-one who shares my passion for it.
So I'd love to know a bit more about you guys. What you do, where you're from etc...
I'm Bede Dwyer, I'm a 22 year old male from New Zealand, I work for the New Zealand Fire Service as a consultant.
Spare time I like sleeping;-) reading about the mafia, watching things on the mafia... Photography, learning Italian, writing, football (or soccer as you call it) and music.
Would love to hear about all the people on here.

Haha no definitely not, I just had to google 'Skip/Tracer' to find out what that even meant.
Just interested/excited to meet and hear about other people who are interested in the same things as me.

I just put some photo's up in the "What we look like gallery" to prove I am a real person/enthusiast ;-) Since you've all shared, thought I better chip in too. Enjoyed the Sopranos tour photo's.
Do you guys all meet up once a year for dinner or something?

Welcome Verneratio!!  I think we've only had one other person from NZ if I'm not mistaken (but can't remember who). Anyway, I am in California, I work in a school office and have been a part of the BB here for almost what, 6 yrs or 7? I forgot. Btw, great pictures you posted. Welcome to the BB TIS

I live in Ohio and I'm a stay at home Mom. Been married to the Col. for 26 years. Yes we get together once a year for a weekend of alot of fun. Last year we didn't   Hopefully we will this year.

Do you guys all meet up once a year for dinner or something? You have to remember that the U.S. is about the same size as Australia so it's very hard to arrange a get-together (our American members are spread out all over the country). Then, we can't forget our international members. We are literally a world-wide community here (all populated continents are represented).

Welcome VR. We had a NZ'r on here a few years back. A young fellow, but very bright and insightful.
I'm just an old New York-New Jersey guy trying to live out my years on a pension. I used to bang cocktail waitresses (two at a time), but now I'd give a $1,000,000 just to take a leak. I hope someday to move to the Sierra Mountains and drink....what am I drinking?, but going to New Jersey I've found the best veal in the city(Atlantic). I do drink wine more than I used to. Sometimes I wonder how things ever got this far.
BTW my avatar name is MaryCas (working on a new face, but having trouble with too many pixels), but I'm really a man who likes women.....in a Biblical sense.

Well, I'm in Texas as the result of an out of court settlement. I've got a few years left yet on my parole, but I still maintain that the ether and duct tape they found in my van was put there by someone else and that's not really me on those security tapes. I also don't think that all of those restraining orders were necessary. Afterall, just because I really like Sandra Bullock and camped out on the edge of her estate in Austin doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. True, I don't always take my medication, but I try to.
Other than that, there's not much to tell. Thanks for the profile, Oli. That explains a lot.

“I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstructionist that is Politically, anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up-linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!
I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet, and pushin the envelope. I’m on-point, on-task, on-message and off drugs. I’ve got no need for coke and speed. I’ve got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!
I’ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can’t shut me up. You can’t dumb me down, because I’m tireless and I’m wireless, I’m an alpha male on beta-blockers.
I’m a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Super-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and built-to-last! I’m a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case, pre-maturely post-traumatic and I’ve got a love-child that sends me hate mail.
But, I’m feeling, I’m caring, I’m healing, I’m sharing, a supportive, bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I watch trash sports! I’m gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant.
I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the “F” word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcore–no soft porn.
I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I’m toll-free, bite-sized, ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped, factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically- formulated medical miracle. I’ve been pre-wash, pre-cooked, pre-heated, pre-screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried, double-wrapped, vacuum-packed and, I have an unlimited broadband capacity.
I’m a rude dude, but I’m the real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked and ready-to-rock. Rough, tough and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go with the flow, I ride with the tide. I’ve got glide in my stride. Drivin and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I don’t snooze, so I don’t lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hearty and lunch time is crunch time. I’m hangin in, there ain’t no doubt and I’m hangin tough, over and out!”
 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?

...but now I'd give a $1,000,000 just to take a leak. Last time it was $4 million. This recession is really hitting home...
