Re: Dan's message 18 - I think that "Fat Tony", with the "How, may I ask, did you get past the hall monitor?" quote, would make a fine avatar for AdminJar.
Well, it would be close. I grew up in an Italian Mob Family but they still called me Bubba JimBob. That doesn’t sound quite as bad in Italian, it's VinieJimBob. We were in the Costa Nostra but way back then we didn’t know what it was. That meant we were always talking about our thing with a rising inflection.
Costa Nostra?
Costa Nostra????
To make growing up worse I had a Jewish mother who was always making us feel guilty because we didn’t know what Our Thing was.
You don’t know where that THING has been?
If you keep playing with Your Thing you’ll go blind!
You keep playing with it and one day you’ll find your poor momma lying beside some tollgate.
Since we were in the deep south, having a gangster dad and Jewish mom made life interesting. For one thing, telling the kids at school that my dad was a maid man just didn’t carry any weight. Some folk thought he was a Goodfella, Mom said he was a Mensch but GrandDad said he was a Gonif.
He did get invited to join the Klan and become a Knight. He saddled up the Percheron and put on his armor and headed off. The third time he returned home with a flaming cross stuck on the end of his spear I think they asked him to leave.
