No, I'm not laughing....it is only on a couple of International airline carriers now and even then not all of their aircraft are equipped. It is a fairly new thing.
When I first found out, we were already like 45minutes into the flight and I stood up and cheered........seriously, I looked pretty ridiculous, I was really happy because it was like an 8hr flight and I was really worried about work.

That thing is practically glued to me.....I don't go anywhere without it.
Hey can you believe they even have wireless internet on transatlantic International flights now? Now that I'm a blogging addict, it will be even more valuable.

No problem.....just teloport over!
Also, we get kind of jipped off over here. Thursday is half a day and Friday is a whole day.
In the US...you have 2 full days.
But, my schedule is 24/7 it seems most of the time.
Blogging has been the only thing in years that has obsessed me or taken me away from my work.....actually this is a first.

Here's the scene....
Before taking Paulie for his last ride, Clemenza's wife asks her husband to do an errand: "Don't forget the cannoli!" Paulie is taken out to a field and while Clemenza relieves himself by the side of the road, hitman Rocco Lampone puts three bullets into the back of Paulie's head with three shots. In a classic line of macabre dialogue following the bloody hit job, Clemenza calls to his colleague:
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
They abandon the corpse and car on the deserted section of road - as a warning message to others about how traitors will be treated.

yes... getting the verbs wrong would be a much worse offense. LOL
I think they leave the gun because they don't want it to be tied to them. I'm sure they were wearing gloves? Hmmm... I'll have to pay attention next time.

Okay, I got the clauses backwards, but at least this time I got the verbs
right. It did take em the longest time not to say, "Take the gun, leave the cannoli", because I always assumed that the fun would be damning evidence, that's why the line is so great. Thanks for setting the record straight, Blackcat. I'll have to try some at the Italian bakery here.

I hate to do this, but I must..... the line is to "leave the gun, take the
cannoli." LOL Great line. What Italian man would leave behind a cannoli? LOL
My Italian grandma is gone, but you haven't lived until you've had a NY cannoli.... take a trip and try one!! : )

It's a hermit's dream come true, there's a tiered payment structure, so
you pay a monthly fee depending on how many dvds you want to rent at a time. The minimum I think is 3 dvds at a time for $19.95. I think. We have the 5 dvd plan, and I think it's $32 per month (not sure, MG haas it in his name and he pays it himself, we don't split that one).
Anyway, you go on line, pick out the movies you want to rent, put them in your queue, then they will send you your first picks, you'll get 3 or 5 in the mail, you watch them, and put them back into their envelopes and send them back. When they get the returned dvds, they'll send out the next one on the list. Easy.

I never was big into movie lines, but MG is, so I've picked it up.
He's the movieholic in the house, but I'm getting to like them more, looking up B movie actors, figuring out character actors that i've seen hundreds of times but never knew their names, etc. Plus Netflix is da bomb.

Thanks, Offbeats, I didn't actually remember the scene, it's just something

Nope, one of the Godfathers, I'm not sure which.
I don't remember the scene, but it was where there was a mob hit, and the two mobsters were discussing what to do after the hit. One said to the other "Take the cannoli, leave the gun". I've never tried cannoli but it must be good.
