Mythology & Folklore - August 2006

I am a Second generation 100% Italian-American born in Brooklyn..so I qualify. My Dad's family all from Naples and my Mother's all from Castellamare Del Golfo in Sicily.

Nick names like, "Louie The Lug" "Vinnie Bombatz" "Pissy Eyes"
"Two Ton Tony", "PF" "Wops down below", "Mamaluca", "Frankie Pappa", "Jackie Angels", "Frankie Boy", "Che Che" and a name like "Tony Ronzonni-Sono Buoni" ... they all have an individual story connected to them, each one is a gem ... i.e. "Pissy Eyes" from Bari, he got his nick name because his eyes would start to tear up a little, every time he got a great polka hand...needless to say no one ever told him that for years and years. Such is part of the Italian-American cultural dynamic.

Yet there was a time my people suffered greatly due to prejudice and descrimination...but now since the movie "The Godfather I II & III not to mention The Sporanos...now everybody is eating Pizza and wants to be Italian !! Amazing!

Gabisha paisano ... ?

I have dreamt of bieng chased by a lion more than two times.Now i was sleeping and i woke up from the dream and is???The dream always started with me knowing that there is a lion or tiger on the loose and i would close myself up in a room.There would always be a lot of people who go around locking themselves in the rooms.It would always be the same house.Last time i dont think there was anyone with me or whether i was attacked.This time the lion came into my room and there were my cousin's children who are like my own to me!I ran getting them from the bed just when the lion came in and we ran and jumped to the land next to the house.I dont know what it means?Any idea!!!!!last time it was a tiger nstead of lion but the same dream.Last time the tiger did not come in and this time when i tried to lock the doors i found it too hard.

i've read in some novels that if you told someone your name (not the one you have now, the name that describes you as you truly are, changes and all) that it would give them power over you. I just though it would be a fascinating thing. But highly unlikely considering there aren't a lot of people out there who know their tru names.

Instead of a Catholic antichrist, or a Russian or German or Texan.

(Not that the Antichrist is an Antichrist; they will be a FALSE Christ. - Don't know where they snuck that "anti" in.)

Might the F-C be Jewish?

My dear Y!A users. I have made YET another discover in the world of the supernatural (hold the applause). I believe I saw some Wood Elves! Now, before I begin rambling, I want to clear up some rumors that have been circulating. I read a lot of comments suggesting that I do or did drugs. I have never in my life done drugs. Are we clear? Okay, it all happened yesterday: I was driving back to my hometown after an enlightening trip to Houston, Texas. I was hungry, so I decided to pull over for a quick bite. Keep in mind I am still in Houston. As I was deciding on which shoe-box of an establishment I should pick, I came across a curious little sign...

I thought it was a symbol of peace but i have seen videos of people frantically uprooting them with bull dozers. Do olive trees have a different meaning in different cultures?
