• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Do you guys remember in the part in The Godfather

Where Michael was sent away to Italy for protection after his transgression against the corrupt system? He had to step away for a while because his act of assassinating the dirty cop and drug pushing mafioso drew far too much attention.

The Corleones never treated their community poorly, in fact they helped protect their community. They didn’t want to get involved with the drug operation.

But then Michael comes back and everyone thinks that the Corleone family has lost all of their strength. They mob kills Michael’s brother and they think the Corleone family is done.

But they did not know that Michael was the one in his generation of the family that carried the inextinguishable flame of the human spirit.

What happened next?

@croot_lord started a thread on the Patrons Pub saying The Godfather sucked. I hope that this can help correct his view

Johnny Ringo shouldn’t have killed Sonny.

It was a tactical mistake and Lt Dan knew it.
 
Michael ended up being quite a ruthless guy, while still maintaining some semblance of morality. Killing all the other godfathers was quite a statement and made him into something that I don't think he really wanted to become.

But, I will say that his Sicily wife was one fine young lady.
