Think of it as the Anti-King-Folett-Discourse

From the video:

You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Two reasons: First of all, I think he's a good actor, okay? To me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't “F” around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with.

For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat.

So I've been praying to Joe for about a year now. And I noticed something. I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same 50% rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't. Same as God, 50-50. Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, the wishing well and the rabbit's foot, same as the Mojo Man, same as the Voodoo Lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles, it's all the same: 50-50. So just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself.

I think my magic 8 ball works about 50-50 for me without the praying and I don't think I need anything else. I sure I don't need to see the Voodoo Lady squeezing goat testicles.

As man now is, Joe Pesci once was; as Joe Pesci now is, man may become.

Most of us are going to have to get much shorter.

[_I have a question]

As man now is, Joe Pesci once was; as Joe Pesci now is, man may become.

I don't know that we teach that...

as far as i know there is no "tb" (true buddhist) here, but the mantras as "om mani padme hum" are well known.

and mantras are basic building blocks of Mormonism.

by the way
even i am not a tb, i like these:

by the way - more
these are the background musics in our reception (http://www.vadrozsa.ro/?lang=en ; commercial)
many of our guests ask for the source of musix, they can buy a cd with limited profit (1400%)...

No doubt. But some height is not so much to give up--not for Sharon Stone in Casino. But I would not want to die the way Pesci's character did at the end of that movie. A bit too much pain involved just to get the lights turned off.

Well, let's face it, GBH never had the chutzpah to become Joe Pesci, never, no matter how long GBH would have to try. But for the most of us MDB posters, there's the School of Pesci, where we can each learn to swagger and talk like a badass.

I image a conversation between GBH and Joe Pesci might go down kinda like this:

Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little screwed up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

Vinny Gambini: Uh... everything that guy just said is BS... Thank you.

“I'm just some lunatic macaroni mushroom, is that it?” -- Joe Pesci

or

Simon Wilder: Yes, they are, they're perfect. Don't matter if they're skinny, fat, blond or blue. If a woman is willing to give you her love, Hinckley, it's the greatest gift in the world. Makes you taller, makes you smarter, makes your teeth shine. Boy, oh, boy, women are perfect.

or

Nicky Santoro: This guy could “F” up a cup of coffee.

or

Joey LaMotta: How do you ask me that? I'm your brother and you ask me that? Where do you get you're balls big enough to ask me that?

or

Joe Minaldi: Life is stranger than crap, that's all. It's a pisser. No big story.

or

Tommy Spinelli: Hey don't be a little smart ass, you!

or

Joseph Palmi: Let me ask you something... we Italians, we got our families, and we got the church; the Irish, they have the homeland, Jews their tradition; even the niggers, they got their music. What about you people, Mr. Hinckley, what do you have?

Ruby Dennis: Anybody will accept what you have to offer if you have the money in your hand.
