Was that to me?
You misunderstand me sir. Please take a deep, calming breath.
I told you a bit of my family history which I probably never should have stuck on a public archive...out of shame, not out of any fear of being "caught" for something...
Now...if you think aobut it...this peculiar history (I didn't add the Jewish part, just figured it'd gum things up) is why it was so easy for me to break down and corralate terrorists groups into analogies of organized crime. I.e.: MOB I even made the mistake of making "Don" and "wiseguy" analogies.
I got flamed for THAT too, BIG TIME, by what you might call real mob-bots, right here on FR...but I didn't feel any need to explain to them. They didn't need to know.
...And my analogy worked, too.
No, no.. It wasn't.
I was just blowing off steam at real "mob-bots" and their arguments gone by.. These guy's watch "The Sopranos" a few times a week and become convinced that John Gotti is basically a good guy and they think he should be elected ruler of the universe or something..
Hey, fuhgeddaboudit. Here, you're amongst friends. Pass the linguini.
Once my very Italian grandfather was standing in an airport lounge waiting for someone to arrive from a flight, and Perry Como came in. The moment he saw my grandfather, with his sunglasses and golf cap, just standing there, quietly staring, Como turned tail and got the hell out of there. Guess he owed somebody money.
