It rarely does. "I'll have your job!" was always my favorite.
I guess the guy has a lot of problems, and people around him have been trying to get him to check in for a while now, but still. Hire a driver.

It didn't work even for the great Tony Soprano.

That's the first 3 minutes and 8 seconds of the Sopranos I've ever seen.


OMG.  Really?  I don't know if you like mob movies or not, but if you do, once you see a few episodes, you can get hooked.  Although the series kinda past history at this point.  For me, its the mob mentality that's fascinating.  Total sociopaths.  Mob people only hang around and socialize with other mob people, and they have a certain code of conduct that they live by, where they actually think they're entitled to ruin other people's lives and live a life of crime, while at the same time believing they themselves actually have some kind of class or standards or something.  Its very easy to mock and make fun of them, which I do with my son when we both imitate their way of talking, and laugh about it.  Its funny because when we talk mob talk, its totally mocking their stupidity, but when mob people themselves talk that way, they are actually being serious, and its like, its hard to believe, but that's the way they really talk.   

In the Sopranos, which I'm sure you know ran for years through I think 6 seasons, you had Italian-American actors playing Italian low life sociopaths.  I always found that aspect of it fascinating.  It was like the actors were shining a spotlight on a segment of their own nationality that they themselves should be (and probably are) ashamed of.


By the way, in the rest of that episode where Tony got pulled over by black cop, he pulled some strings down at city hall where he had some official in his pocket, and ended up getting the cop fired as revenge (the mob mentality is all about revenge).  Later on, Tony goes to Home Depot for some shopping and he comes face to face with the ex-cop who is now working in the gardening department  or some low grade job.  The ex-cop knows that it was Tony who was responsible for getting him fired from the police force.  They stare at each other, and Tony knows he got the best of him, but, in his twisted mind with his twisted mob values, he now feels sorry for him, so he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a wad of cash and offers to the the ex-cop.  The former cop just looks at him, doesn't take the cash, and basically tells him to go fk himself.   Good episode.  lol.

Don't feel great about this.

She's been involved with the Colts organization for the past 10 years, so I am sure she'll be able to take over the reigns while her Dad is in rehab.

I don't much like series shows. Too much commitment.


I got hooked and made the commitment to "Spartacus".  Saw every episode twice.  I suppose its just something about gladiators fighting in the arena in front of frenzied crowds screaming for blood that attracts me. 

Kinda like the NFL.

I dunno, I could take me and a few friends out to the most expensive restaurant in town, but I doubt we'd blow through $29K.  It might be fun trying though.  It would be like a challenge.  My friend would say, "I dare ya.  I betcha you can't spend this all tonight."  Then I'd be like, "Oh ya, you just sit back and watch a pro at work."

In the state he was in I think whatever impulse purchase that might caught his eye can't be made with a credit card.

Looks like the Bruins started a new tradition.

The Dallas Mavericks bought one in '11, as did Golden Tate and the Seahawks this year

The Red Sox too.
