I don't even have to read it. It was Timmy the Tooth. Joey Baga Donuts would have been, but he got whacked by Tommy Tonsils.

Was the brains?

yea - get some and click the link.

Tony Accardo :) Smartest modern era boss

Lucky Luciano

I need a new desk.

Meyer Lansky

Funny thing is that I didn't click the link before my above post ... it's just common knowledge where I come from.

Good read btw

:winkwink:

LOVE THIS:

But Lansky never mentions the story in his authorized biographies and Luciano remembers meeting Lansky when Lucky's gang tried to shakedown the young Meyer and was told in no uncertain terms to go f__ themselves.

"Ok, Little Man," Luciano remembers telling the diminutive Lansky. "You get your protection for free."

"Shove your protection up your ass," Lansky shot back. "I don?t need it."

And Lansky, who would never grow much above five feet, proceeded to prove it to the older boy.

"Believe me, I found out he didn?t need it," Luciano recalled years later. "Next to Benny Siegel, Meyer Lansky was the toughest guy, pound for pound, I ever knew in my whole life and that takes in Albert Anastasia or any of them Brooklyn hoodlums or anybody anyone can think of."

i don't think there could have been a cooler more interesting place to be than in Brooklyn NY in the 40's and 50's. the number of famous and infamous people hailing from Brooklyn is staggering.

I did not even know a brain was behind it.

you know how it is $tyles, hollywood can fuck up a nursurey rhyme and people think the movies are history lessons -

a friend/neighbor of mines mother was lanksy's house cleaner for a couple of yrs. when he was a kid he would be over there somtimes and said you would never have any idea who he was, he was very low profile but he was a tough love kinda guy to my friend whos old man died young. my friend had no idea how lanksky was until he got older.

i remember seeing lansky on the news when we first moved to florida when i was a kid - big news, plus from being from NJ, my old man grew up and knew a few family members kids ect

lucky luciano was a knight of malta....same as george BUsh
