BRASSO Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Yes, mobsters tended to have nicknames(some were funny, others a little more gruesome.. haha ) given to them. A few others : Donald " The Wizard of Odds " Angelini. Chicago gambling operations mobster. Thomas " Tommy Toupee " Bilotti James " Whitey " Bulger George "Georgie Neck " Zappola Israel " Ice Pick Willie " Alderman Al " Scarface " Capone Francis " Cadillac Frank " Salemme James " Buddy "McLean Benjamin " Bugsy " Siegel .................... now back on track to nicknames of marchers, not mobsters, lol....: Edited February 6, 2019 by BRASSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capone preferred Snorky (swanky)... from his pals... Off topic but Philly had Chicken Man Testa. Springsteen’s Atlantic City refers to him at the beginning. (Blew up the chicken man late last night). I’ll say, cops heard it blocks away Edited February 6, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't press hard against bus windows, lean on them, exert pressure with any parts of your body. Seriously. They're designed to hinge out for escape purposes.

Yeah 1974 or 75 we had one didn’t hinge too well. Guys wrestling on the back bench and one got pushed into the window hard with his butt. Window splintered as it bowed out. Then we hit a bump entering NY state and the glass on the outside of the glass/plastic/glass sandwich stayed at the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
