Vote in. Not that anyone listens to me. :p

I listen to you.

Do I hear some noise from the peanut gallery? :p


Don Cardi

Did you say something, DC? Sorry, I can't hear you from all the way up here in the fantasy baseball standings. :p

Great to have you in the game, btw.

Touche!

*cardi mumbling to himself that it's a long season, he'll see*




Don Cardi

Just call me E.F. from now on.

I voted!! I voted!!

Sheesh. What a production.

I voted for the Italian place, but that's only if we're gonna go check out the Mosholu and have drinks or something after dinner.

Otherwise, since the hotel is downtown and there are plenty of good restaurants around there, what's the point of all of us going down to the Penn's Landing area for dinner?

Believe me, it's nothing special.

I voted!! I voted!! to

Plaw, stop being so cranky. You've been to Philly, but I didn't see you offering any suggestions, except the place that charges an arm, a leg and your first born. :p Get constructive, my man!! And vote early and often.

I voted for the steakhouse.

Ok, first let me say I don't care where we eat, (although I'm not willing to give up my arm or leg, let alone my firstborn :p ), but I went with the Italian restaurant because, well, because.....there ain't nothing like Italian!!!

Really, doesn't matter.


TIS

And this is EXACTLY why it is a production!


I happen to agree with you about Going to the Moshulu. And I happen to agree with you that there are probably a lot of good places near the hotel. If you know of them why haven't you posted them? I think that you happen to have very good taste in restaurants and food, and if you recommend something, that's good enough for me.

But up until this point only Geoff, SB and I have recommended and researcehed some places. And you just post nay, no and geez! So stop the whining and make some suggestions, will ya? :p


Don Cardi

You voted? You're coming? You have to be 21 to attend!


Don Cardi

Yea!! Patrick's going??? Make sure we put Patrick on the "Liberal" side of the table. I look forward to meeting you Patrick!!

TIS

Does that mean you're coming?

TIS,TIS, what have i ever done to make you treat me so disrepectfully? You came to Chicago in friendship, and those cute little blue drinks have been flowing ever since. And that by chance if an honest woman such as yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you. But to imply that I cannot sit on the same side of the table with you because I am not a liberal?


I understand. You found paradise in the liberal party, had a good trade, made a good living. The police protected you; and there were courts of law. And you didn't need a republican friend like me. But uh, now you come to the boards and you say -- "Don Cardi give me justice, let Patrick sit on my side of the table." -- But you don't ask
with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather or Santino. Instead, you come into these boards today, and you uh ask me to do this.


:p


Don Cardi

I thought you're name was Santino

Don Cardi...can you imagine if any of these dinners had a liberal/conservative division?



You & I (and maybe a few others) would be sitting at the '
'kiddie' table or the little one in the back near the kitchen.

Luckily, as you have reminded more than once (and which I hope is still true)...political discussions are forbidden at Gangster BB dinners!

I don't know about that, for just eating out or meeting up... just need enough money to cover their asses. :p 17, tho, is kinda pushing the lower limits to who we should allow tho, no? I have no problem with it... but what if something happens, I don't wanna get sued! But I have no problem if Pat wants to meet us...

I thought you're name was Santino [/b][/quote]Ok, you're right Mama. I fixed it.

I don't have a problem with Pat, in general, attending either. In fact I have been looking forward to meeting him face to face for a very long time now!

However the underage point that you make is a very good point.


Don Cardi

Yes it’s true. If anyone would say such a thing, they would not be a friend. They would be a dog.

A refusal of staying away from politics that weekend is not the act of a friend.

NO! No politics. The talking of Politics when we get together as a family would be an infamia!


Don Cardi

Well, my daughter's coming and she's 7!

And probably won't bring enough $$$ to cover her ass, even though it's a little one.

Apple

It's not the daughter that we are worried about, it's the mother! :p


Don Cardi

I voted for the steakhouse.

oh and don't worry JG, I'm a cheap date

To quote my crabby friend, so many comebacks, so little time...

Luckily, the kid already knows her mom's a wierdo...she'll probably even tell you so once she gets over the shyness of meeting everybody!

Don Cardi [/b][/quote]Ha ha!! Not to worry DC! I was only joking. Didn't mean to rile things up. Besides, I'd never get to talk to majority of the BB members if we did that. It's funny, just the mention of "Politics" gets things going.
