Mi Chiamo Donnie

Come va,
It means how are you. You may respond,no so la, which means I don't know. You could
say,buonissima, which means very good. Then again you could say fuggetaboudit, which
could mean a lot of different things. You know what I mean? I would refer you to
Donnie Brasco(the movie) when Donnie is asked by the two FBI guys what this 'fugget-
aboudit' means. You gotta watch it, on account of my memory would'nt do it justice,
should I try to explain it to you. In his book, A Goomba's Guide to Life(a must read)
Steven R. Schirripa(Bobby Bacala;The Sopranos) says that fuggeddaboudit is a multi-
purpose interjection, meaning anything from "You're welcome," to "Don't mention it,"
to "You have no idea," to "I'll take care of it," to "the guy is dead meat."
It is what it is, capisci mi?
This ain't even what I was gonna talk about. I had this thing to say about Uncle
Donnies' Diner, and about the veal parmesan and the pork butt that I prepared
recently. Sometimes I wonder about myself! My trophy wife Betty gets me though, she
has the ability to comprehend the incomprehendable(or is it incomprehensible?)....
me...Mi chiamo Donnie.
It's like da Vinci said, "The greatest deception men suffer is from their own
opinions."
Sound familiar?
Whattayagonnado?
A dopo,
