Tumblr Thread: The Extremely Suspicious Not-Mob Guy


Tumblr kicks around concepts like nobody's business and this looks totally like a show we'd want to watch. And as it turns out, there actually is a hilarious story that's based on a similar concept. For more off-the-wall spinnings of the mind, here are some random funny Tumblr gems to fill those pockets.

Text - urbanfantasyinspiration Follow Ilike the idea of a cop character who looks and acts like he's in the Mob. >He acts SUPER Italian >He always has some cousin that can help them out on a case (either as an informant or they can fix up a car or whatever) and they're all different people, but they're all named Tony >Whenever he's interrogating a suspect he always does borderline mob shit like "it sure would be a shame if something were to happen". >Hair and fashion sense are 10/10 >Slugger >Hi

Text - urbanfantasyinspiration Follow I feel I should stress that Vinny never pushes the metaphor. He doesn't act up to mess with people. As far as he's concerned he's just a normal dude.

My daughter's school is having a sleepover at the aquarium, but they need a couple of extra chaperones.' urbanfantasyinspiration Follow Brilliant addition grimsecret333 Follow I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse... injuries-in-dust Follow Dinner, tonight, with my family. My grandmothers linguini is something you just can't say "no" to. I mean, look at this picture of her. *takes a family photo out of wallet and

Text - injuries-in-dust Follow He visits a newly opened store in the neighbourhood. "Nice place you got here. Would be a real shame if something bad happened to it." Everyone is sweating bullets for five minutes as Vinny walks around the place, slowly, looking at seemingly random things, very closely. Then Vinny hands the owner a report on all the weak points where a potential intruder could gain entry, where a little wiring may not be fully up to code so its a fire hazard, blind spots where sho
