Now I'm conflicted. However, I split the difference and updated my signature and left my avatar to try and support both factions. We'll see where it goes from here!!!

Edit: I got it, James.... Mickey Featherstone of "The Westies". He of the "No corpus delecti". He used to cut up the bodies and scatter the remains all over the city. He'd freeze the hands and use them later to leave false fingerprints. A real gentleman!!! LOL

Not to be labeled a "Racist", but it did seem an appropriate nomination given the slight resemblance. You could go with another character if you like. Bugsy Siegel, Myer Lansky or Don Barzini if you prefer. Hell, I'm German/English!!! LOL

01-07-2015, 05:08 PM
Bill, thanks for my "resemblance" to Hyman Roth ...
Me Myer Lansky? Don't know. We did him a U-turn (he was expelled from Israel) the moment he landed in the airport. We didn't want him here. You know that?
Let me think a bit about the other guys.

Of course I know that. I am actually a big fan of all those "Mob" movies and I am from NYC. Think about it and get back to us. Main thing is, support the HF!!!

Don't think for a moment that I don't notice, I do and thank you all very much.

I know it is no longer considered "cool" to contribute to the HF and quite a few folks are put off by my nagging, but can't you folks find it in your heart to drop a ten spot in the "Widget" and get an entry into the Grand Prize Drawing for a signed King book? I know I'm supposed to be abstaining from the efforts this year, but our showing thus far just makes me sad. Surely this community can do better than, $1300!!! Do it for your, Don? Do it for yourself and "Ka"!!!
