Mafia Saturday

Oh have I got a treat for you guys. Somewhere around 70 pictures from one of the best parties I’ve been to in years. Senan’s Mafia Birthday Bash. It was fantastic, everyone really went for it, and… I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Check it out, it’s the whole gang.

From left: Tony Acapulco (our man in the Caymans), The Kaiser (Under boss), Don Waldini (The Don), Rocky Knuckles (From the 70′s) and Big Sal (The Don’s personal bodyguard)

From Left: Cuban Bob (Our representitive in Havana), Joe (The 90′s rumbler), Ace Fireball Snakebite “Chainsaw” Maverick McCoy (Inner city 80′s gangster), Dylan Phoenix (Our finest hit-woman) “Auntie” Mary (She takes care of all the ladies of the night)

Booms and Babyface Murphy. Guess which is which.

From left: Tallulah (The finest Moll on the east coast), Don Waldini in the back, Ace Fireball (etc) in the front, Rocky Knuckles, Luscious O’ Trigger (From 1885; the Edinburgh contact), and Lady Skulls (Don’t ask)

Luscious O’ Trigger, Dylan Phoenix, Ace Fireball…(Man I wish Frank had picked a shorter name), “Auntie” Mary, Joe and Texas Mike (From 60′s Texas)

From Left: Tony Acapulco (Big Sal behind him), Miami (The Florida man), Cuban Bob behind Miami, Dom Waldini, Rocky Knuckles, and The Ghetto Snowball (We needed an in on the music industry, so we backed a white rapper)

Nothing sorts the men from the boys like a mafia watermelon eating contest. They don’t call him he Kaiser for nothing.

Joey Bananas and Booms. Word around the campfire was that Joey Bananas was FBI, but he’s been personally vetted by the Don. He’s the crooked cop of our fine association.

Carandonagh Party

I could babble on and on about how Senan and Ruth were fantastic hosts, the poker game was great fun, we drank all the beer and whiskey, midnight pies and losing an argument with a barbed wire fence but the pictures speak for themselves.

Very image heavy after the jump.

When the room is lit by candles, you don’t think anyone can see your face.

The next picture, is a picture of me taking the above picture. There were two cameras. So occasionally the picture is like a making of.

Yes, I was babbling there at the start; I cut it short. The first picture is the 365 picture for today.

Government to make cigarettes invisible: teen smoking to end as a result

Ah today has made me mad. Well, a lot of things make me mad, but it was something in particular today.

Just to let you know, I’m a smoker. I like smoking, it gives me a series of little lifts throughout the day and it’s a great social thing, now that we’ve all been relegated to a special cage outside.

But this is just a stupid piece of legislation, that will only make purchasing cigarettes legally more awkward for patrons and business operators.

Government to ban all cigarettes from view

Now… excuse me if I’m missing something fundamental here, pushes glasses up nose , but how exactly do legislators think that hiding cigarettes from view will stop teenagers smoking? It’s already patently clear that kids are getting cigarettes from somewhere, so they’re probably aware of where they are in the first place. This is a time wasting bullshit piece of legislation that won’t do anything but hinder the purchase of a legal product by legal adults, of legal age. Legally.

Feel free to chime in on the comments. Maybe we could use this as a petition of sorts… say if we were to hit 100 comments, then maybe we could send it to the government registering our supreme disappointment at this bone-headed, reactionist, bullshit move to hustle tax payers.

I’m mad I say. MAD!
