This was my favorite Paulie joke. Man, I've seen The Sopranos so many times through, I know it like the back of my hand. May be time for another watch.
- I love Johnny Sack's reaction too, hahahahelahon
- So many good lines. Paulie's snake theory, his rant about piss stained laces while everyone is trying to eat, the time he threw a chair at a ghost..garbage
- ..and screamed "fucking queers!". The entirety of Pine Barrens. What a phenomenal actor.garbage
- OMG, the piss-stained laces and the psychic scene, those were so funny. And his jab at Chris telling him to "stop getting cunty" in the Pine Barrons was classicelahon
- yep garbage, the psychic scene is one of my favesfadein11

- He did a good lockdown comic project in his village. Seemed a decent bloke https://www.bbc.co.u…PhanLo
- Met him a few times at the comic art thing in Moniaive. Had a drink and signed my Judgement on Gotham & Punisher: Blood on The Moors books. Top man. RIP AALN-1face_melter
- He was working on a potential Lobo tv series and he told me all the tv people were cunts and didn't get it at all.face_melter
- Nice one! That's cool you hung out with him a bit. Lobo is a hard one to transfer for sure, I suppose with the Boys being out now it might be easier.PhanLo
- Rip :(OBBTKN
- Yeah, he was really happy so many people turned up to the festival. Lobo got turned into a shitty animated thing, so that explains his ire.face_melter
- RIP. I met him at a 2000AD thing a few years ago and he was great to talk to. Full of stories and plenty of time for random nerds like me who wanted to chat.Wolfboy

Went to a funeral of an old school friend today, I hadn't seen her in years, but we were close at school and occasionally bumped into her.
She'd spent a lot of her adult life on heroin, had two children taken off her into care and also lost a child before it was born.
Speaking with another friend who took her in for a year when we were at school, I found out her home life as a kid was super chaotic, lots of drunk parents and violence.On the way into the church a fight nearly broke out with her old boyfriend and the family, it made the whole event even sadder hearing a guy shout 'you's cunts never fuckin cared about her' literally on the steps of the church.
Her family were quite mental so there was no shortage of people jostling to batter the emaciated ghost, but thankfully it never led to actual violence.Over the years I've been to a lot of funerals for addicts and one of the saddest things is seeing that how the breakdown in their relationships leads to so few people turning up to remember them.
One guy I knew as a teenager didn't even have his parents turn up, because he'd stole so much from them over the years. It was just his grandmother.The saddest part was she'd actually been clean for a year, but she died a week after her mums funeral possibly from heart failure.
I'll remember when she was happy

- One of my cousins was an addict for 30 years, stealing from family and all that. He died in a city park, alone, in a city where he had no family.nb
- Another cousin died at 19 of the same thing: accidental or intentional opioid OD. The 19yo’s funeral was far more sad and full of people.nb
- It’s like that. One is considered a tragedy and the other is like “well what did he expect.”nb
- Troubled hearts leave a wake. My condolences.garbage
- @nb yep, have had similar experiences, a good friend OD'd after choking to death after mixing heroin and beer at 19. Churchwas full with people standing outsidePhanLo
- But 10 years on and another friend from the same group, I think there was barely 20 people therePhanLo
- Love is conditional. You must love yourself first.cannonball1978
- Sorry Phan. I can relate.lemmy_k
- Sounds like a harrowing experience, my condolences Phan. For the friends I've lost I try to remember the happy times too, the sad times just bring back the painBuddhaHat

A few weeks late, but these other posts are making me feel like I need to write things down.
A girl I dated for a bit a few years ago died a few months back. She was a model and reached out in December to see if I wanted to shoot again. We had shot numerous times and had great creative chemistry. I said 'sure' and never heard back.
She was a little unstable and I ended things after a scary incident, but she was a sweet woman, super smart (she just finished her clinical pharmacy degree), and crazy ambitious with her modeling (she traveled the world continually via paid shoots).She had been a heroin addict a decade or so ago, but was clean. I guess she injured herself and was taking pain meds. I'll never know if she od'd, was on heroin again or took her own life (her parents were not nice people).
Her funeral was sad, needless to say. I still have the paintings we made in my garage and red boots she brought over for a shoot once.
2 years ago my best friend took his life. He was a recovering alcoholic (alcohol ruined his marriage and carrier, I never knew he was until he got divorced and quit) and was impressively successful in quitting.
We would go for walks for a few hours a week, talking about life (insanely smart man, too smart, I think). He tried everything - numerous psychologists, anti-depressants, dbt/cbt, etc., etc. He taught me so much.
We walked every street around my place countless times. Every time I go for a run or walk, I can remember a detail of one of our conversations. It's both terribly sad and yet still makes me smile a little.
He called me on a Friday and left a message, but I was at my gf's for the weekend. I texted back but heard nothing. Texted back again on Sunday, nothing, again on Monday, nothing. I was worried.
Tuesday, I think, I got a call from his sister and I knew right away. I'll always wonder if I had been able to answer that call if it would have made any difference. I'd like to think it would have, but my logical side says otherwise.
He left a note on his mtn bike that was in my garage. I didn't find it for 6 months. It was the only note he left, just saying he'd like his daughter to have his nicest bike and hoped my life would be wonderful.
I knew him since we were 14. I was sure we'd grow old together, and share the stories from our crazy high school years and challenges with life in general.
They say suicide happens far more often than people realize. I guess that's true.
I am grateful for spending so much time with him in his last 2 years. I am grateful to have known a good man and a great friend for so long.
Hug your friends, tell them how much you love them, and don't just assume everyone knows. Feelings should be cherished and shared. Enjoy every moment, regardless of how seemingly trivial it might appear, they all matter.
- Love you guysYakuZoku
- +1 for very personal post. if he was that committed you wouldn't have been able to save his life. The best you could have done was postpone it.hotroddy
- I'm hooked on the show INTERVENTION. Only 20% of them make it out. Some episodes end with a suicide in the post follow-up update.hotroddy
- Thanks for sharing, that must have been hard to write, but hopefully at the same time provides some catharsis. I love the QBN community, warts and all.BuddhaHat

- Paulie had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor, and he used to slice it so thin that it used to liquefy in the pan..._niko
- ... with a little oil... It was a very good system.” I still think of this every time I slice garlic. RIP big guy._niko
- I saw Goodfellas with my dad when it HBO back in the 90's, must have been 13. When I was old enough to cook, whenever I needed garlic, I sliced it...elahon
- ...like Paulie did, and I still do it to this day. It is indeed a really good system!!elahon
- wow one of the greatest actors ever lived, his loss is one the film industry will mourn for centuries. His role in that film was massive. I believe he won oscarmonospaced
- No idea who this isscarabin
- I also slice garlic like this, because of Goodfellas. It's medically proven that garlic's ingredients react with air and become more potent. Slicing it increasecherub
