I banned Angus btw; these duplicate accounts are lame and annoying. I was considering un-banning him on the remote possibility that it might be a legitimate member, but I realised I couldn't un-ban people so I stopped caring :)

Which of these facts about INCUBO is true??

1. I talk to myself quite often.

2. My middle name is Rocco.

3. I once got arrested.

4. A close relative of mine was charged under the RICO Act.

5. I'm actually 6'1

6. That was me in the picture with Saint Alessandro Nesta.

7. I moved to Rome as part of the FBI's Witness Protection Program.

8. I haven't eaten chicken in 8 years.

9. I CUT DOWN to 6 espresso's a day.

10. I appeared as an extra in a Mob movie.

11. I once offered Balky 20 Euros if he would pickpocket a dude with a Juve jersey.
I would probably have said all the above, but you dont strike me as an FBI rat...I mean informant !!!

Also, I dont know too many Italians that are 6'1

5'6 maybe, but tall Italians are a rarity (unless they are mixed with Irish or German, or something else)

See there's another unsubstantiated prejudice. Statistics show that Europeans are now higher than Americans on average (whilst they were lower a century or so ago, the Dutch being the tallest caucasian race around). I myself am 6"3 and can assure I am not a rarity in the Bel Paese. Anyway I must be off now but Nick and Paduan', I shall adress your questions and points in due time.

Its not a predjudice...

I am not going on any scientific studies, or any statistics...I really could care less

OK, I'll correct myself...

ACCORDING TO KAISER'S SCIENTIFIC STUDY, EUROPEANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF DUTCH DESCENT AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN BEL PAESE ARE TALLER THAN AMERICANS, AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD !!!!!


I hope your happy !!!:D

    True Vincenzo..Italian feds are a rarity: I would never do business with an Irishmen..i.e. Most G-Men. Hats off to Vincenzo for striking one of the list. Thank Godness I never came across you on a 'road block'..not that I drink and drive but occasionally that one extra grappa could easily land one in the slammer singing show tunes with "Enos" the bearded lady at Sing Sing.

    By the way Vincenzo: I don't know if it happens in Buffalo but do you ever get the GUIDO's proclaiming "Do you know WHO I am?!!" when you pull them over??


    P.S. Kevin: Are you still addicted to that 'dirty water' from Dirty Donuts you call coffee??
    I noticed your avatar went from a coffee cup to a fruitcake.

    Believe me Nick, its not just the Italians that do that.....

    Most of the "wiseguys" I've pulled over know me on a first name basis

    When I was in the police academy, back some 7 years ago, we had a class on organized crime. The instructor, who was a detective, brought in slides of the Buffalo mafia from over the years. As he went thru the slides,he described each picture, and who the people were in the photo's. All of the sudden, my uncles store came up on a slide, so I yelled out "hey, thats my uncles store". The next slide showed 2 men conversing in front of the store, and then I yelled out "hey, thats my uncle "pee wee" !!! Whats he doing on these slides ??"

    The class was silent...and so was the instructor !!! He wouldnt answer why my uncle was on the slides.... I knew, but never expected it to show up in a class on organized crime in the academy

    :D thats a pretty cool story. Very cool actually. But most of the time the "Mangia CAKE'S" (non-Italians) assume two Italians having espresso on Sunday morning translates into someone getting 'whacked'.

    Robbie Padovano had a similiar experience: At Thomas Cooley School of Law in a first year 'Family Law' course they were going over jurisprudence (cases) of recent advances for gay marriages. Pado read one of the cases and blurted out : hey thats me and Sergio.
    Needless to say Roberta Padovano was the outspoken crusader of gay rights from then on.

    Il mea culpa di Kakà: "Ormai gli avversari mi conoscono. Devo cambiare il mio gioco"
    Gio 11 Nov, 4:32 PM

    Nel calcio é sempre più difficile confermarsi. E' il caso di Kakà che dopo un primo anno da protagonista, ammette le proprie difficoltà nella seconda stagione rossonera. Il brasiliano,rivela di voler cambiare modo di giocare. "Ancelotti mi ha detto che devo fare le cose semplici - dice - ed é quello che sto cercando di fare per poi tornare a fare quelle più difficili e divertenti. Tutti mi dicono che quest'anno ormai si conosce il mio modo di giocare e allora io sto cercando di fare qualcosa di diverso: guardo le videocassette, le partite. E' vero, ora mi conoscono: é più difficile del primo anno e lo sto sentendo addosso
