Dr. Melfi has cut her ties, Silvio's in a coma, and Bobby has been derailed - now, there is no more hiding. Now that you’ve heard about it, tell us what you thought about the Finale of the Sopranos.

From what tiny bit I've heard I like the older Italian music. The '60s and '70s crooners creeped me out a little, perhaps because of the visits to the inlaws as a kid, with that music and the gold-flake wall papers and cheezy flourescent shagg rugs and furniture, and white Christmas trees.

I knew a journalist once who had interviewed Lee Iacocca in his home, and he said, "You know, we think of this guy as this powerful corporate baron, but you look around his house, and see the gaudy statues and pillars, and you realize this is just another goombah from Pennsylvania coal country who just happened to strike it rich."
Ha!

Yes, my grandmother had shag carpet, and plastic over the furniture, and white Christmas Trees, and fish on Christmas Eve. Too funny.

Oh, I think that was more due to your 24 verbal assault of me following the discussion on John Lennon, which even HBO deleted from this board. Don't forget that part!
Did you ever consider that your eye problems may be due to the inordinate amount of time you spend on this website staring at a computer screen, "Professor"??? LOL!

As long as they have some of the older ones with Moriarti and lots of Lenny, I don't mind.

Not my grandmother.. She was a little on the wild side of the italian ancestry. My mom too. Come to think about it my aunts too.

Ha! That's funny. And, you, too? : )
I recently met a woman who was married to an Italian teamster who says her ex's great uncle was hooked up, and that he had some colorful stories about the old guy.

I don't think it's July 4th. They have 'Law and Order' marathon that day. Maybe Labor day.
Oh, good, we haven't seen nearly enough of those.
Not that I don't really like Law & Order, but, geez....

"The latest DRIVE BY came because Shakin reacted to Tides message to me... Do they have deeper issues.... ABSOLUTELY (Well... let me rephrase that so shakin doesnt object) Does Tides have deeper issues with Shakin ABSOLUTELY......"
-----------------------------
Let's get something crystal clear - I do NOT have ANY issues with anyone on this board if they are NOT lying, and are NOT verbally abusing myself or others. That's it. Period. Believing anything different is YOUR imagination.
