    A Giuseppe Franco Sighting

    The hubby was in Beverly Hills the other day, trying to buy a cigar. He was about to enter a store when he noticed some really annoying guy on a cell phone a few feet away from him. Sure 'nuff -- it was Giuseppe Franco. He's about 5'6" and, "has the build of a spider monkey."

    Thankfully for the hubby, Gary Busey was nowhere to be seen!

    Cool. I was trying to remember his name. Was he carrying any Procede?

    Fixed for you.

    Too bad he didn't talk to him--we could have solved the own/know/gnome debate once and for all.

    How does he get that porcupine to sit so still?
    When asked if the Red Sox would've beaten Tampa Bay in the ALCS had Manny not gotten his wish and been traded, Ortiz replied: "Probably. I'm not gonna lie to you."

    Re: A Giuseppe Franco Sighting

    I checked out Procede on wiki, and it costs like $300, and its basically a dye that cover the bald spots on your head

    Really??

    Could you do humanity a big favor and ask him what the word is in his commercial when he says, "I don't own the company. I don't ______ anything about it"? There are some who think he says know, some who think he says own, some who think he says gnome, and some who simply do not know. I think we'd all be very appreciative.

    I think he flubbed the line and they either didn't bother to edit it or didn't catch it.

    I'd be curious to know what it was supposed to be and what he said, then. This might be our shot to find out the mystery of the line.

    I'm almost sure the word he uses is "know", but in addition to that, he adds the word "ma" at the beginning of the sentence which in Italian essentially means "but". It kind of adds more mystery to what he's actually saying.

    I've only ever seen them on Extra Innings. I may have seen them on some Met games but I only remember seeing them on Yankee games.

    I do remember seeing them and it probably was on EIs, if I am remembering correctly.
