Another helpful hint from a friend: "Bowlers" should not pretend to be athletes!

Of course, Mechanicville could be a natural in one of those "Transformer" movies the kids seem to like!

I have always meant to sneak a little "Luca Brasi" into the interpretation, too! Mother is about the same size as The Godfather's chief enforcer.

I do not remember many runners in "The Godfather."

Carlo Rizzi did enter the Santino Corleone Invitational. but only got about 15 yards before he was disqualified ... by Santino ... and throttled .. by Santino. Tough to start running again after a garbage can has knocked out silly.

The Don himself tried to run during the Virgil Sollozzo Challenge, but could not elude a course challenge ... about 10 bullets in the back. Guess he should have never tried to carry that bag of oranges into the race!

Mike, I hope we don't have to use this line for you ... a few hours after the Stockade-athon has ended:

Don Corleone: "Call Bonasera. We need him now."

Well Andrea, someone must teach Hop-Sing the meaning of discipline! He is worried too much about bowling in the Galaxy League .. and not worried enough about the plight of the farmer! So those tomatoes were great deals! Great! I'm making another road trip next week!

Hop-Sing, those farmer spread a lot of organic fertilizer in the fields to help grow those crops ... and I understand you spread a lot of the same fertilizer in the office, day after day .... now tonight, I will run 5 miles and lift weights for an hour ... while some of the "athletes" I know will be bowling, let's face it, not a sport at all. Not an activity for a man's man. Hope you are not in that bunch ... I would hate to see you bowling in the Galaxy League, drinking Jack and Coke and lighting candles. Go help the farmer instead, lift a damn tractor for him ....
