Thank you both for the information. Y U C K ! ! !
Don’t you want some nummy yummy johnnycakes ?
Is ‘johnnycakes’ another word for homo?
Nor Phil Leotardo’s.
How can you be in New England and not know what johnnycakes are ? :-P

Vito met a cook at a local diner where he was in hiding. His name was Johnny, and he cooked jonnycakes. Vito gave him the Johnnycake name.
Thank you for the info.
The only shows I watched were the ones with Joe Pantoliano when he killed his stripper mistress by bashing her head in against a guardrail and whatever episode came after that.
Luckily I missed the gay storylines.
Oh, you missed the ep where Tony offed Joey Pants and his toupe came off... that was priceless.
Really? I might have to Youtube that!
Ralph Cifaretto pins the “had it coming” meter.
(neck-and-neck with Richie Aprile)
Here, found the two parts...
Tony whacks Ralphie for roasting his horse...

Ditto Jersey Shore and Goodfellas. Lots of suburban Gabba-ghouls seem to think it makes them seem "cool" to act like fools.
Thank you for the clips...my opinion of the show is unchanged.
Pantoliano will always be ‘Guido, The Killer Pimp’ to me.
“Time of your life, eh kid ?”
Hell ya!!!
One of the best films ever IMO. To me, it’s Tom Cruise’s best work.
I love the Booger lines: “I have a trig mid-term tomorrow and I’m in a car being chased by Guido, the killer pimp.”
“Sometimes you just gotta say ‘what the f***’.”
Words of widsom.
I’ve never seen Jersey Shore, but from the stories about the people in it, YUCK!!!
Good point on Goodfellas. IIRC, the ‘wanna-bes’ really started springing up after it came out.
Breaking Bad is awesome. Maybe the best show on TV right now.
I liked the Sopranos. But I hated it’s “brilliant” ending. You may have heard about it even if you didn’t watch it, if you haven’t the screen went black without anything having been resolved. Total cop out. And lazy, why think up a logical and satisfying ending when you can pull a lame gimmick and say “and the characters lives continue on, we just don’t get to see it anymore”. I want to hear David Chase admit he just couldn’t think of anything good and took the wussy way out.
