We were at friends' house for dinner. The husband had just gotten a new car, so he and my husband decided to take it out for a drive. We waited and waited and waited for them to come back so we could have cake and coffee. Finally, just as we were getting pretty worried, they called from a topless bar. My friend and I were so aggravated that we just cut the cake in half and the two of ate the entire thing. As far as I know, they can serve drinks in topless bars here, but the girls have to have on a g-string or thong. If they're totally nude, then alcohol cannot be served. We can only buy wine and liquor in liquor stores, but you can buy beer in supermarkets, 7-11's, etc. Liquor stores are closed on Sundays (although they recently passed a law that they have the option to stay open). As stated before, beer can be purchased on Sundays, but only after 12 Noon. Does any of this make sense?

Yeah, pretty good, I must say. I did rename them though. They are no longer known as "Tooters." Now they will be known as "TISers!" Don Cardi

Don Cardi picked up the tab.
He insisted, and no one argued with him.

Well here's to another great Gangster BB commission meeting dinner! I really enjoyed another great evening last night with some really great friends. SC and Consigliere's Lady, Plaw, Don Malta, and Mikey Montana were all there and as usual all looked great. SC had a really great looking shirt on. Excellent taste SC! Of course the conversation went in The Godfather direction, along with several other movies. I must say that even Mrs. Cardi impressed me by holding her own when Godfather discussions came up. I guess all those years of living with my watching The Godfather 100 times a year rubbed off on her. Our monthly get togethers just keep getting better and better. The Gangster BB weekend should be a real blast! Turnbull, Don Smitty, you both were missed! Don Cardi

Excellent taste SC! See what happens when your moderators coordinate their outfits before dinner? Don Cardi even got a goodnight kiss from SC...

I'm just curious about something and I know this'll get alot of chuckles especially on THIS Board but... Wonderful as they are, how does (basically) the same gang of people get together on a monthly basis to mainly discuss The Godfather films? I mean...the Board itself is one thing but how do you talk about them over & over? I know...silly question, you probably have to be there. I guess the food, wine and company are all factors in making these dinners so delightful. When I was a kid, my mom belonged to a monthly 'Pokeno Club' where she & a bunch of other moms got together to play the game and have 'girltalk' for a couple of hours. Judging from the activity whenever they were at our house, they all had a terrific time. Once a year they'd all go on some big night out, to a movie or Broadway show or something. I guess the NY/NJ Commission Meetings are along the same lines as that.... And I suppose I just answered my own question!!! Carry on... Apple

Apple Well actually what gets us discussing Godfather topics are posts like the one that you just made! Just Kidding Apple. The company is always great, the places that we go to are great, and as you said yourself that is what makes these get togethers so much fun. We don't only talk GF, we talk about a variety of different subjects. But then again, you wouldn't know because every time I invite you, you woose out! Don Cardi

You are right, I do 'wuss' out. Which I'm sure is the reason you did not bother to invite me this time (and I don't blame you)!! Just out of curiousity (again) where did you converge this time????

I mean...the Board itself is one thing but how do you talk about them over & over? Don't worry, Apple, we find plenty of stuff to talk about. As a matter of fact, here are the "Top Ten Topics" from last night's dinner: 10- How we found the site. 9- Turnbull and his peppers (Don't worry if you don't get that one). 8- Fantasy Sports. 7- How Don Cardi and plawrence can be friends while being on completely opposite ends of the political spectrum. 6- Why Mikey Montana never posts. 5- Why we have the best board on the internet because JG & SC do such a great job of controlling it. 4- How terrible The Godfather Returns is, and why any one of us could have done a better job. 3- Every one of us doing our poor Al Pacino/Tony Montana and Marlon Brando/Don Corleone imitations. 2- TIS and her "Blue Girlie Drinks". And the number one topic for discussion at our monthly dinners: Talking about other members and ripping most of them to shreds. :p

Originally posted by J Geoff: Being that we were in New York we all hadda go outside to smoke. During one of the smoke breaks Geoff whipped it out ... relax, it was him camera. I posed with Don Cardi thinking that Geoff would take a pic..... I couldn't imagine why it was taking him so long to do so (i.e. focus, frame it, etc.). Little did I realize he was taking more than one pic. Sure, the subject of the trilogy always comes up but its not the main topic of conversation (although the diners at the ten other tables in our section were listening in on our dialogue exchanges led by Mikey Montana). (I've had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Cardi before but I never realized she was so knowledgable about "The Godfather"). We could easily spend as much time teasing plaw about his sports stuff or talking about Don Cardi's liberal political views ( ) Last night, as all the other get-togethers in the past, went by entirely too fast.
