OK who else? Whenever I see "Alito" I read "Alioto"

[Richardo]

Is it just 'cause I grew up in California?

A racism? :cry:

[miss_kitty]

3. Gee-whenever I see 'Alito' I read

'Closed-minded suckass fundie motherfucker'

:shrug:

[flamingyouth]

4. Me too.

And it makes me crave abalone. So I am also apparently an exploiter of endangered species. :cry:

5. LOL! The DJ on Quake radio said "Alioto" twice while I was listening.

and that was just on the way to work today....

6. I get him mixed up

with OJ's dog the akita.

7. Who was Alioto? I remember that name, but can't remember

who it was.

[Richardo]

9. Mayor of San Francisco and purveyor of seafood on Fisherman's Wharf

Rumored to be a "connected" guy if youse know what I means.

[Bunny]

10. Okay, I sorta remember that. n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I tend to hear 'Alioto' as well......

I think it could very well be that it's because we grew up/or lived a long time here in California......

They were, after all, a famous and important family here, esp. in NoCal....and San Francisco.....

11. You mean Joe "there's no Mafia in San Francisco" Alioto??

12. On NPR this morning...

people kept talking about Samalitos this and Samalitos that, and I thought it was the new taste sensation at Taco Bell.

[Richardo]

13. It's an itsy-bitsy 'samal'

"samalito" :)

[SOteric]

14. I can't tell you. I do the same thing,

and I grew up in San Francisco. :shrug:

[Momgonepostal]

15. Me too, and I'm also a Californian

I'd trust a random Alioto on the bench more than Bush's guy.

[Lavender Brown]

16. Alito means "breath" or something like that in Italian

My mom has already made several 'alitosis' jokes. :crazy:

[Momgonepostal]

18. You're right!

Alito cattivo = bad breath, or literally "evil breath"

[NV Whino]

17. Yeah me too

I think it's a California thing.

[philosophie_en_rose]

19. I read "Scalito" and wonder if he's 1/8 Scalia's size.
