So who won the pool?

 

You beat me by a few seconds.

RIP, Abe.

 

RIP Tessio. Shocking news. I thought he was immortal.

 

Tom, Can you get me off the hook, for old times sake?

Can't do it, Sally

RIP
Tessio

We'll always have a girl in the castle and one in the pagoda, Abe.

RIP to an SJ legend.

 

Until tv guide confirms i hold out hope.

 

Holy crap. I'm sitting on the couch watching the Godfather Epic. Tessio is explaining why Louis' Restaurant is perfect: a nice place, good food, everybody minds his business.

 

You want to know how long people have been preparing for this? The AP obit includes material from Bob Thomas, the AP's longtime Hollywood writer who himself died nearly two years ago.
