If I Wanted Your Opininon, I'd Give it to You

Buongiorno mi amici!

Maybe I should have called this blog, "Uncle Donnie's Bi-Weekly", or, "Uncle Donnie's Once-in-Awhile",or even, "Uncle Donnie's Whenever-I-Get-to-It". You know, somethin' like that.
I was reminded this past week by my dear old friend Mason Bledsoe (I think his web address is BackinthedayIsmokedalotofdope.blogspot.com) that I forgot a few nicknames. He must have had a flashback or something, here goes...
Apparently, I used to call someone Keiko, you know, the Killer Whale? Maybe if that person would have mixed in a few salad bars every now and then,I would have called him Slim or Tiny... Or Stretch, you know what I mean?
Then there was the Klunatic, a gent whose last name was Klune, who was a real pain in the-well,you know.
I call everybody on the jobsite Fuzznuts. "Hey fuzznuts, got that closet done yet?",or, "Hey fuzznuts, I'd like to get this job done before I get my Social Security!" You know, these are real terms of endearment, they're very touching.
I've got another uncle named Butch, another sister-in-law named Missy Mouse, and another good friend I call Zack Lortz... I hope I didn't leave anyone out this time!
Anyways, thanks Mason for the reminder, which reminds me, have you seen our old friend Kurt Fekker lately? Next time you see him, give my regards to him and his wife and all those little Fekkers. Really a nice family,those Fekkers. God Bless 'em.

Sometimes, Uncle Donnie feels like Barney Coopersmith. (reference: My Blue Heaven)Nothing ever went well for Barney. Everytime he tries to get out of his car the seatbelt trips him up, his job as an FBI agent is less-than-stellar, his wife ran off with a younger sports Jock, and he's too short to be loved by the ladies. Really Barnie is often very inept, a real loser....WAIT A MINUTE, Uncle
Donnie is not this man. Uncle Donnie is more like Vincent Antonelli, (reference: Steve Martin's character in My Blue Heaven)
What am I thinkin'? "I need some arugula...its a vegetable", I need to meringue with
my trophy wife Betty, maybe visit my tailor for a new silk suit, smell the roses, have a glass of vino, tip a flight attendant $100 for one alcoholic beverage, you know what i mean? This is makin' me hungry for life already.
Uncle Donnie's gotta split, but befoe I do I thought I'd give you my five favorite
La Cosa Nostra movies:
The Godfather Trilogy
A Bronx Tale
Goodfellas
Casino
My Blue Heaven
Mobsters

Remember this: if Uncle Donnie wanted your opinion, he'd give it to ya.
Fondly,
D.
