My 9 y/o has informed me that the there is a mob presence in our town,

[LaraMN]

and that he and another friend identified tracks specific to the type of snowmobiles operated by our local arm of "the mob."

He is dead serious.
I think he's mad at me, because I laughed at him. A lot.

:rofl:

[Mutley]

1. Yeah, but what if he's right?

:scared:

[LaraMN]

2. Then we should damn well have a better Italian restaurant in town.

x(

[Mutley]

3. This is true.

I heard a rumor recently that the best Italian restaurant around here is owned by a member of the mob. Go figure. Damn good food, though. :9

7. When I was in high school, a whole chain of pizza places

in the area were raided for housing "criminal enterprises". One of the pizza places is still operating in the town where I now serve. People often point out that they've never had pizza from it, and don't know anyone who has. Yet, it's been in business for like 50 years.

[Mutley]

8. I'd go there and order a pizza just for shits and giggles.

:o

[Critters2]

11. Everytime I go to order pizza, I think about it.

I've even considered just stopping in. No one seems to know if they even have a dining room. Only one way to find out!!

[Mutley]

14. It's not like they'll make you sleep with the fishes just for trying to get a little food.

:D

[Critters2]

15. I'll call 'em tonight.

More ice on the way. A good night for pizza!

[Wcross]

16. Say howdy to Jimmy Hoffa on your journey.....n/t

[Kucinich4America]

19. Don't they deliver?

If someone shows up with a pizza in one hand and a violin case in the other, then you'll know for sure it's a "family" business, in the Sicilian sense. Especially if you can hear Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" coming from their delivery vehicle :evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

22. Jesus lady you already have an Olive Garden what else do you want?

:P

[Tektonik]

4. He should go hunt them down with his brother's gun

:P

[flvegan]

5. Lookup Albert "Doc" Ames

[LaraMN]

6. Omg!

I know a few people with that last name, in town!

I will have to surveil their residences for snowmobiles!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Ahhhh, C'mon, guys! Why won't you believe me?

[skygazer]

10. Mobsters ride Polaris

Be aware. :hide:

[Deep13]

12. hmmm. Ask him to tell you the details before dismissing it.

It may be that he is calling something else "the mob." If it's just made-up after all, no harm done.

[Pierre.Suave]

13. good idea

you never know what he may say.

[MountainLaurel]

17. When I was about that age

I was convinced that there were Iranian terrorists living in the hills around our elementary school. (This was around the time of the hostage crisis.)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. I wonder if "sleeping with the fishes"

has the same cachet if it's in Lake Superior?

[Swede]

20. Waddaya gonna do?
