Only in CA do the fagela schmucks brag about eating USED pasta, what
the heck, they eat used dick! Ca has no Little Italy, no real dagos
live there.... yoose better stick to yer refried beans, french dip and
Roy Rogers mystery roast beef.... those pinheads actually call Der
Wienerschnitzel a frankfurter, no wonder they jones for USED pasta.

California hasn't got a real Italian restaurant, not a one... gotta
drive all the way at least as far as Chicago, none any closer.

BTW, did joose know there are no real Italian restaurats in all of
Canada, yup, none...
fact! Anyone ever see that dago joke in Toronto with all those obscene
statures... ahahahahahahahaha... what slop they pawn off... they
actually serve canned ravioli, really.
