Rickles had a great story the other night on Jon Stewart about playing for mobsters at the Copa - how his mother made the made men put their guns on the table. Hilarious.

I think Chase did a cool job exploring the Oceans syndrome with the exploits and ambitions of Christopher Moltisanti (may god rest his soul).

Yeah me either, that would be interesting. Growing up around NY area, the mob was a presence - you just knew. Certain restaurants, social clubs, storefronts etc. And it was indeed a lifestyle - clothes, cars, jewelry, music. I grew up in Yonkers, and I just knew (plus there'd be the occasional hit).
