And I don't like to miss the National Anthem.

Don't you judge me!

He's also in this irritating lottery commercial in New York where he walks into work in a scuba suit for some fucking reason.

Paulie's reaction when Vito informs him that he just sent Meadow's boyfriend to clean dogshit off his tires is priceless.

Plus, in the last episode Tony B. and Meadow have a discussion about how long Kelli was living with the Sopranos before she went back to Aunt Quin, then ran away. So Tony S. might also feel responsible that he couldn't save his daughter, either.

Jeez Toddster, how did you not bring up the dinner between Tony and Carmela where she informs him that she's filing for the divorce?  As nasty as Tony gets with her, for once I can understand where he's coming from.

Peeps? It's a fuckin' nickname! His family name is Pepperelli!

But I think Vito's murder of the guy he rear-ended on his way back to Jersey was specifically designed to destroy whatever sympathy was built up.  Reminding you that, yeah, it's sad that this guy has to abandon his family and go into hiding to escape being killed simply because of his homosexuality, but he's still a…

I didn't mean to come off as insisting that anyone who has a problem with the storyline is a homophobe, I'm sorry if it seemed that way.  But I'm interested to hear why you thought their behavior was cartoonish.

He actually killed himself a few years ago.

Interestingly enough, the only time the show ever did a "Hollywood" sex scene was when Vito and Johnny Cakes fuck in that field.  It's probably the most romantic sex scene in the entire series.  They ride a motorcycle to a secluded meadow for a picnic, they really look like they're in love, and just as they're about…

I've mentioned this before in these discussions and gotten chewed out for it, but I think a lot of the problem people have with the Vito storyline of season six stems from the homosexuality part of it.  If you simply replaced Johnny Cakes with a woman (Baby Cakes?) I don't think there would've been nearly as many…

Is it crazy that I actually felt bad for Vito when I saw how hopeful he looked outside Yankee Stadium?

"I’ve also always read this phone call from Adriana as being one piece of the puzzle that leads to Johnny Sack being put away at the end of the season—she couldn’t touch Tony, but she could bring other houses down—but I’m probably wrong about that."

Yeah, my mother used to be in marching band in high school, what of it?

I can't believe I forgot 'Billy Budd'

"Thank you, I know. I am intimately acquainted with the Soprano curse. Your father, your uncle, your great-grandfather who drove the donkey cart off the road in Avellino, all of it."

I love how, once Hugh lets Carmela and her mother know that he's found out about the party, they both immediately blame AJ.

Anyway, I want to wish you buona fortuna, and send you my regrets. I'd love to be at your jubilee.

And Mr. Williams here, he don't play.
