Yeah, I was asking Caroline if that what what it was like in intensive care when someone "codes" --- she said they had it perfect.
1) Chrstopher and Bobby lecturing AJ on how to behave?
2) What was with Silvio's wife wanting him to get a promotion?
AND Sill showing how much of a hassle it was, like when Johhny was lamenting to Tony about "being a Boss" and Tony said, "tell me about it"---love that stuff!
Hey, that's why Tony is the Boss.

Andy I dont know if you watch the show...some Sicilians are offended by it and dont...I'm not one of them...but if you watch it...have you ever watched a show that had the Sicilian slang down so pat???..I mean I'm hearing stuff I havent heard in ages...real down in the dirt slang..the kind that can't be found in any books but was born in the streets..... .you notice that?
Smokin' three Columbians (not cigars) and stealing a dishwasher full of cash is not crime enough?
And how about Mr. Sensitivity Paulie Walnuts (now a very appropriate nickname) with the "Holy S***, he looks terrible!". And then he sits there and complains about how tough he has it while sitting with Tony. And the scene with him icing his cubes is too funny. And another one, "Hey, the ladies room is over there" to Vito in the john.
"Ho Ho Phineas Fogg is back in town!" I wouldn't have guessed Vito for a Jules Verne fan.

I sometimes call my mother up and say "hey Ma guess what I heard on TV last night?..havent heard it in years"....and she'll say "what?"...and I'll tell her, and she screams "WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP YOU PIG!"

Justice Scalia gives a sign, but no finger
Justice Scalia gives a sign, but no finger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia used an Italian hand gesture when questioned by a reporter after attending church this past weekend.
The Boston Herald reported Monday that the justice made "an obscene gesture under his chin" - which prompted some online reports that Scalia had used his middle finger.
Untrue.
"It was a hand off the chin gesture that was meant to be dismissive," Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
Scalia, 70, is Italian and known for wisecracks in and out of court.
The sign he used in Boston is frequently used by Italians to express displeasure with someone - from mild to deep irritation. It is done by cupping the hand under the chin and flicking the fingers like a backward wave.
Scalia was leaving Mass on Sunday at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross when the reporter asked the justice if he had to deal with much flak related to his conservative Roman Catholic beliefs, according to the newspaper.
"You know what I say to those people?" Scalia said before making the gesture, according to the paper's account. "That's Sicilian."
The paper said that Scalia also said: "This is my spiritual life. I shall lead it the way I like."
