Most of this country is made up of idiots on both the left and right so these polls don’t mean shit. I assume you consider yourself an intelligent person so let me ask you what your thoughts are on how Biden has handled the four above items. Those being crime, immigration, the economy, and inflation. What has he done wrong with regards to these issues and what should he have done better? Once you have given your viewpoints then we can all have a real discussion on these issues. I will hang up and listen.

I have seen that "visually-impaired" judge before on something. Maybe Diners, Drive ins and Dives?

Is this the IMF Tom Cruise is in or the other one?

Did UNC not have a TO? I mean if they did it would be nice for a good head coach to call an actual play to set up the 3 versus just going down and jacking up 25 footers with a guy in your face.

This is around when I started drinking and collecting bourbon. It was nice when you could grab a Weller Antique and Weller 12 year for under $30 a bottle and they were readily available. Same goes for Eagle Rare, Bookers, Blanton’s and the rest that were always on the shelf. Bourbon is very much like the current watch industry where you can’t get anything and everything is marked up to stupid levels mostly because people are trying to make money buying and selling bourbon instead of just drinking and enjoying it.

Can we also do some that should be underneath this fictional Mt. Rushmore? Who was the lease a corvette guy? Rocko?

I am similar except I hated them during the Showtime Era, hated them after the Showtime Era, hated them during the Shaq and Kobe Era, hated them during the Kobe and Gasol Era and hate them now during the Lebron Era.

Forget the 222 and get this titanium VC. If you’re gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

I am not a huge fan of the new 222 as all that gold is a little much for my style. At this point I can sell my VC Overseas and use the money to buy house with how outrageous the pricing has become.

How about the new Vacheron release? Yellow gold 222. Maybe a nice Patek? Someday I need to go to the Watches and Wonders show in Geneva.

Is the new Rolex going by Sprite or Riddler? Not a fan of it and still prefer the other GMTs especially the Rootbeer.

I for one was starting to worry that PAC got conscripted into the Russian Army and died in Ukraine so good to know he is still alive, I guess.

Anyone watch this yet. I watched the first one and I think I liked it but it’s definitely confusing since I really don’t know this character or the back story.

Fixed that for you.

I literally just gave away my unopened Godfather 1 and 2 DVD set since I never used them and don't even have a DVD player anymore. I always tend to like 2 better because I find the flipping back and forth between timelines more interesting.

I totally agree that 1 & 2 are probably my favorite movies of all time. What I find difficult is figuring out which of those two movies is better. You get Brando in 1 but DeNiro in 2 who does a great job of acting like Brando in Vito’s younger days. There are very few perfect movies and both of these are perfect.

Seems like cancel culture to me.

The refs have called this game differently for each team which is bullshit. They are calling Texas for every ticky tack call and they are letting Purdue play rougher on D than they are letting us play. It has nothing to do with one team is bigger or one team is taking jumpers and not driving to the hole. They have called it this way since the tip off. Guessing they have money on Purdue.

These refs suck. Calling fouls every time the Purdue big guy shoots is a joke.

There are two episodes that stand out to me. One is when Marie does the sculpture, and the other is when Robert dates the frog woman.

Nature Boy also say hi. Hall was one of my faves and it sucks to see him about to be gone.

Just found this thread so I thought I would share my “connection” to this life. I grew up in S. Florida in the 70’s/80’s. I never realized my father’s connection to that world until I was in college at UT watching Goodfellas and I started realizing growing up all my dad’s friends had nicknames just like in the movie. I came home from college and had a long talk with him and he told me everything. My father’s friend was my “uncle Oscar”. He was a little Armenian guy and our families were together growing up. Turns out Oscar was Oscar “the watchman” Ansourian. He was a feared hitman for the Gambino and Lucchese crime families in NY. I still remember for one Christmas he gave me a $100 and told my parents I got to spend all of it at Toys R Us. We are talking like 1978 and that was a shit ton of money for a kid to buy a lot of Star Wars crap. Oscar was best friends with a guy from New York who would come down to Florida for Easter and whatnot and I knew that guy as my “uncle Vic”. Turns out that was Vic Amuso the Don of the Lucchese crime family. Oscar disappeared and went on the run after being indicted and the FBI finally caught him a decade later. After getting out of prison he was filmed in Central Park saying “hi” to a jogger passing by who was also in the mob so the Feds put him back into prison for breaking parole for associating with criminals or something. He died in prison. My dad swore the government had him killed in prison because he was such a pain in the ass to them all those years he was on the run.

Just realized I spelled it wrong. G’Vanni’s was how it was spelled.
