He also says A-Rab. Oy. It's a wonder I've made it this far in life.

she said "if it was a good enough pronouciation for Jimmy Carter to use it was good enough for her". Oh well, she was a sweetie and a good Democrat but she had her quirks. :shrug: I miss her. :-(

18. "eyetalian" IS kind of annoying |
|
but I really don't get bothered too much about it. There's a lot more to get annoyed about than that.
Being called an "Italian-American" annoys me a lot more than "eyetalian."
Umm-I was born in the U.S.A...I love my country (just not the groin-cookies that are "in charge"). Therefore I am an American.
I have never been to the "Old country." Maybe I'll visit it someday. Maybe not.
BTW-Olive Garden, Sabbaro are the McD's of "Italian food." I prefer places like Giovanni's in Milwaukee.
