  • Lets say gino was a young boy

    And he wanted a cheesedtake?

    Would he he a FUNK-GU OR A STEAT SANSWITCH ?

  • Philly cheesesteaks suck balls

  • Geno's tastes like shit anyway.

  • @lapugenero Well, I just thought it was harsh that apparently for a few months, the family had a hell of a hard time communicating with one another. When I say forbidden to speak Czech, I mean -forbidden-. My grandmother told me hilarious stories about it, but if she spoke Czech she'd get a light smack to the face. The entire point of my comment was to say that you SHOULD learn the language of your adopted country first and foremost, though.

  • Why is it harsh for people to learn the language of the country they immigrate to? Seems like the first thing I would do if I ever lived somewhere else.

  • My grandparents forbade my mother to speak Czech when they raised her here in the U.S. because they were living in another country, and must adopt their customs. i think that's a bit harsh, but I get so sick and tired of immigrants (legal or otherwise) who think that businesses and citizens alike have to conform to their beliefs. Nuh-uh. Speak english, if you can't, learn. Otherwise no food ordering, no banking, no casual conversations, etc. for you until you understand the basics to get by.

  • @jetson215 re-read your comment dude......your the only white guy...despite (according to you) there being a lot of RUSSIANS there???!?!?

  • mr. vento as long as you spoke real english not guido english i agree
