The Feds love untangling webs, especially when those who spin them think they're untouchable. A little piece of Wiseguy Wisdom for you: 'The smartest guys in the room are often the first to realize they’re not as smart as they thought.' Mess with the wrong people, and you'll find out just how unforgiving the house rules really are.



You guys really fucked yourselves this time! —— Big time!

While you merry band of nitwits were playing Checkers all this time… You never realized that the game was really Chess!

I hope you had fun. lol

CUCUZZA (pronounced: goo gootz)

In the Italian language the word ‘cucuzza’ literally means zucchini — a garden vegetable similar to squash.

Italians also use a slang version of the word, which connotes a completely different meaning. Used in this vernacular ‘cucuzza’ refers to a person considered to be stupid, naive, one who lacks intelligence, is short on brains, a dummy, etc.

Wise words from our resident Mafia boss, Don Calogero...

Don Calogero teaches his picciotti...

"Most people are shallow and phony. If you want to know what they're really thinking, just read between the lines... because they don't have the constitution or wherewithal to tell you straight up."

"We the willing, following the unknowing, are doing the impossible. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, that we are now able to do anything, with nothing." ~ (gotta love it)

This little quip is so applicable — to so many — that its not even funny!

People who design fool-proof systems fail to take into account the ingenuity of fools.

Fools will always find bigger fools to admire them.
