Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

My Kingdom for Some Tiramisu

Okay, so I forgot to do a Family Guy quote/scene yesterday. Sorry, I was busy trying to keep my pancreas from exploding. This is a scene from There's Something About Paulie (episode 2.16). Peter has his car "stolen" by the Mafia so he can get a new one, and in return, he has to take The Don's cousin, Big Fat Paulie, to the movies. Big Fat Paulie takes a liking to Peter and wants them to be buddies, but Lois doesn't like the idea of having someone affiliated with the mob hanging around the house. So Peter tells Big Fat Paulie that they can't be friends because of Lois, and inadvertently orders a hit on her. When Lois finds out, they go to The Don's daughter's wedding to have the hit called off, since he is obligated to grant one favor to everybody on that day. Peter screws it up, of course. And he also does a My Wife Is About to Get Whacked pose (below) every time he introduces Lois to someone at the wedding.

Mob Guy:  Number 34! Three-four!
Peter:  Right here!
The Don:  Peter, my good friend. How good of you to come and show your respect on this, the day of my daughter's wedding.

Peter:  Yeah, sorry I didn't bring a gift, but the stores were mobbed. I mean ... mobbed as in crowded, not mobbed as in you guys.
The Don:  Who is this enchanting woman?
Peter:  This is my wife, Lois. Ahhh!

Lois:  Your Honor, Sir, we've come to ask ...
Peter:  Let me handle this.
Lois:  Peter, I thought we were a team!
Peter:  Listen, your Don-ness, I got a little favor to ask you.
The Don:  Go ahead. As you know, I am obligated to grant one favor on this, the day of my daughter's wedding. While you ask me for this one AND ONLY favor, I will sit here and enjoy this very fine tiramisu.

Peter:  Awww! Can I have a piece?
Lois:  Peter!
The Don:  Granted. Next?
Peter:  Aw, crap.
