Ahhh! What a great looking group you are! )

Glad you all had a good time!

TIS

I just want to say that I had a great time last night. It was nice to meet you guys. I hope one day I will be able to meet more of you.

DS

I NEVER welch! Don Smitty got all that he had coming to him, and then some!


Don Cardi

DC was very Generous to all of us! Also I would like to thank PL for finding a great place for us to eat at!

Sicilian Babe lives in NY. Sicilian Babe loves restaurants. Although Sicilian Babe has exchanged PMs with DC and PL lately on other topics, did either of them mention dinner??? Nooooooo.....Sicilian Babe goes off into the corner where she will weep in despair over her rejection by her fellow BB gangstas.

Seriously, I think you all look great and like you were having way too much fun! As for PL looking thin - just remember those famous words (who did say them?) "You can never be too rich or too thin!".

Wow those are some great pic's. I'm glad you had a good time without me j/k. Seeing how you guys had such a good time I want August to hurry up and get here.

Pl was in great shape. He also is a great guy. He also knows his stuff.

DS

Sicilian Babe has a short memory! Sicilian Babe forgot that in the begining of the Month Don Cardi PMed her telling her that we would be getting together by the end of the month! Sicilian Babe forgot that she replied that this month was a busy month for her! Does Sicilian Babe remember that PM conversation?


Don Cardi

Make sure to bring your appetite and a hollow leg!!

Dinner? PM? Me, busy? I must admit that I NEVER would've given up the AI finale, even for you, DC!! (blows kiss)

I gave it up for DC and everyone else. AI, I mean!

so THAT'S why DS is leaning back in his chair with a smile and JG is nowhere to be found :p

Who is your DADDY?

Yes PL told me all about it in a PM.

You are quite the little slut there Don Geoff, hence the nickname 'Pork' I guess. :p

They were all drinking the wine I brought.

They were all drinking the wine I brought. [/b][/quote]Turnbull, I didn't know that you suffered from Deslexia!

I think that you meant to post :

" I was drinking the wine that they brought!"

Actually Turnbull was very generous in providing us with some really great wine! I did bring in a bottle of Coppola wine as a goof, but Turnbull brought some nice stuff for us! Very Generous Mr. Turnbull! Thank you very much!


Don Cardi

DC - Sucking up to TB??

A few more pix for your viewing pleasure:

The left side of the table (l-r) SC, Geoff, Turnbull



The right side of the table (l-r) plawrence, Don Smitty, Mikey Montana, Don Cardi. (This may be the only time you see plawrence on the "right").



The whole table (ALMOST all fit in viewfinder)... sorry Lori and Don Cardi.

Another story behind a pic:

I was out of ear-shot but I heard the waitress exclaim, "Wow, thats a big tip". I evidently didn't realize what she was talking about but plaw seems to have gotten a big kick out of her remark. (What was she reaching for?)

One thing I do notice, is that she is keeping her body away from Pee. Maybe she is talking about Pee's hands. What Pee is handling is a whole nother story.

she has a smile on her face and you can't see the rest of plaw's left arm.......put 2 and 2 together

Congrats plaw :p

DMC, you better get glasses, that is no smile on her face. and I didn't know that they made arm extentions.

That big bottle to the right of the waitress is the one I brought. She put it on that shelf because plaw already had enough.

Nothing compared to your generousity, DC.

I'm confused why did you have to BYOB?

The restaurant doesn't have a liquor license.

Really? Thanks SC. If they let you byob why don't they just get a licence? I'm sorry I never heard of that before.

According to the way the New Jersey State Liquor Authority operates, a municipality may only have a certain number of bar and restaurant liquor licenses based on the population of that town.

So if someone opens a restaurant, the only way they can obtain a license is by buying an existing one, since there is a waiting list for restaurants waiting to obtain one from the state when and if the town's population grows.

But although BYO places lose revenue because they can't sell liquor, I believe that in some cases the BYO policy brings in more business for them and more than makes up for it.

I am a big wine drinker and, all things being equal, I would much rather bring a $10-15 bottle from home than pay $30-50 for the same wine in the restaurant.

It's NJ, and mostly run by the Mob.

Where I am, Costco can't even sell liquor cuz the local mafia chieftan wouldn't allow it cuz he owns 95%+ of liquor licenses in the county. :rolleyes: I suppose it's not considered a monopoly since he's got liquor licenses in the names of his kids, grandkids, nephews, and a few pets. :rolleyes: Here, liquor licenses start at a quarter mil cuz of him......

But, as far as I know, you can BYOB pretty much anywhere (that does NOT have a license). The local pizzeria has no problem with it, so I doubt anywhere would...

And, what Plaw said is absolutely true -- for the state. But the local Family has the politicians in their pocket - like so many nickels and dimes... so it's virtually impossible unless you have big bucks to back it up.
