"It's candied apples, and ponies with dapples,
You can ride all day,
It's girls with pimples, and cripples with dimples,
That just won't go away...
It's spics and wops and ... I am a racist idiot!
With noses as long as your arm,
It's micks and chinks and gooks and geeks
And honkies -- who've never left the farm!
That's America, buddy!
(Bravo for rejecting the alarum to self-censorship, Tony!)
Your mick-wop pal,

(My kike wife said to say "Hi," too.)
The silliness never ends. I made wopburgers on the grill this evening, and they were a hit. The blue parrot didn't give the recipe, so I made them in the Neopolitan method my wop grandmother taught me (a real wop from the old country).
I used a sweet sausage patty, grilled to perfection then put a slice of mozzarella on it, closed the grill and let it get nice a gooey. Then ladled a little sauce on the bottom of the soft Italian kaiser roll and put the cheesed patty on it.
One bite... Delicioso!!! Let's hear it for the wops.
And a hello back at you from your mick-wop buddy (my polack wife says hi :))
Another person of Italiano heritage is about to throw his 2 lire in.
While I can understand how some Italians can be offended by the term "WOP", my Aunt Rae was 1 who was hurt badly by people using the word & we couldn't use the word arround her, I agree that this is overreacting.
This has also lowered my opinion of NIAF.
On the other hand with a name like "Gambino" coming from New York" & using tactics that strike me as a lot like those of what Pat Cooper ne Pasquali Caputo would call the Mothers & Fathers Italian Association (M.A.F.I.A.). HMMMMMM!!!!!!!
The sandwich sounds a lot like what mio cugino Luigi has served for almost 50 yrs in his resturaunt & called an Italian Poor Boy. My Grandpa & Luigi's dad came from Longobucco & the salsice was made from the famiglia recipe, ground pork butt, salt, red pepper flakes & fennel (how hot or sweet depended on the amount & type of red pepper). The oblong patty was fried. mozzerella added when the sausage was nearly done so it could melt, then it was put on a hard roll, the everyday spaghetti sauce ladled on it & grated parmasian or romano chhese sprinkled on top. I made many of these long ago when I worked there in my HS College days.
Anyhow, I am at work & this discussion is making me very hungry for 1 of these sandwiches. Unfortunately, I have 6 more hrs before I can even do anything about it. I don't have any of their music with me, but I may go to YouTube & dig up a little Dino, Perry or Frank.
So paisans, te salute to all of you. & as for that gavone Gambino, _________! (Fill in the blank with your own Italiano word to describe him.)
I hate to break it to you but in Italiano it would be "Quella è la mia barca!" But why get picky since the joke is based on the idea of the mispronunciation of the English language by Italiano immigrants.
Besides, its not as funny without the needed hand gesture.
