You’re related to Vito and Vinnie too?
Marrone!!
Small world!!
Hey, do you remember Bruno? You know, he didn’t say much, just sort of breathed through his mouth and cracked his knuckles a lot?
Vito used to bring him when he had to “collect”.
Point of order... Them ain't mountains. Them're hills (he says from 5,100 feet above sea level).
I don’t think you’ll hear that dialect coming from anyone under 80. I think that’s kinda sad, actually.

I’ve got a relative who turned 64 last week, and he still talks like that. Or should I say, “too-wuks like that”.

A mountain whose peak is at 5000’ but whose base is at 2000’ is the same size as a mountain whose peak is at 3000’ and whose base is at sea level.

But, as a whole, the mountains out west are larger, steeper, and craggier than the mountains back east.

Yes, but I work near the base (5,000 or so feet) of a mountain that rises above 10,000 feet. The highest point in NJ is High Point at 1,803 feet. I'll say it again, that ain't no mountain. ;-)
LOL. But to a girl from southeastern Michigan, they’re mountains! ;-)
