Joe, you skipped the best part of infamous Gilly-Hornet Nest debacle. I returned with Vinny Lia to his house afterwards to seek him some medical attention, when he showed his mother (her name was Santa) his sting-covered face she shouted "WHATTAYOODOO??!!" and then slapped him right in the cheek that was smothered in hornet bites. I felt bad...but not bad enough to leave the house hysterically laughing. As for the Colorio-Serafino incident, I'm not sure I considered it "squaring off", as much as an Italian psychopath dragging around a harmless kid by his collar until he was a red shirtless mess. Funniest part of that event was how it began, Paul Serafino's tank-top ripped at the seam, making him look like Tarzan...and it was all of us laughing at him that made him lose his temper and attack poor Joe. Another golden oldie was Mike Lomenzo and his "Ex-Stinkquisher"...the crazy bastard filled a fire extinguisher with eggs, mayo, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, baking soda, pickle juice, and his pee and then let it ferment for a year to spray people with on Halloween. His first victim was Gerard "Ge-head" Holden in front our house...Vito Caravella Sr. coincidentally was present at thae moment of detonation. The smell was so unbelievably vile that Vito Caravella reacted like one of Curtis Sliwa's Guardian Angels....he jumped up and wrestled the extinguisher from Mike's hands and said "You're not spraying that again...you pineapple!" (already he didnt say pineapple but I wish he did) I have about a million more stories, just not enough time or space. Whenever I pick back up the novel I put down to years ago, we'll be able to share them all. Till then we'll have to settle for one or two at a time on our wonderful little blog here. By the way Joe, Im trying to think about the kid with glasses and I'm coming up empty...was it Vinny Carubba? I can give you a list a names: Paul Greco, Sal Linea, the Lia Twins, JJ, Stinky Paul, Vinny "Tits" Imparata, Robert Teetsel (who owns some all time great Marisa stories) "Shicken" Vanderbilt, Mark Ward, Joe Crotch, Chris Grant, The Campagna Bros. (who also own some good stories).....well im outta time....were goin to the Fair now.
