Artie & Tony

[zerokarma]

Well if no one else if going to mention it...

I was happy to see Tony make peace with Artie again

I do agree it was important for Tony and Artie to make up even though Artie usually gets on my nerves, he always wanting to be involved a bit in mafia business but never has the balls and always ends up backfiring on him, I think he sometimes wishes he could be more like Tony and the guys but that just isn't his style.

Some people are made for the life, Some people want to be in the life, and some people can't live the life. Artie wants to be in the life, but can't live with it.

I agree I think Artie gets a vicarious thrill out of hanging out with Tony. I also think that there is a part of him that moved in with Tony just to pi-- off Charmaine.

As much as Tony wanted to make peace with Artie, is it possible that Tony was also thinking about his own well-being. I mean afterall, Artie is a chef and having him around would mean that Tony will eat well. We do see Artie coming home with a couple of trays of food the evening Janice and Tony had it out.

i'm sure it was added bonus that Artie can now cook for Tony, but pretty sure it wasn't his original intention.

Also, did anybody find it funny when Tony and Janice picked up the food at Vesuvio's, that Artie was walking out of the bathroom and Charmaine saying something about Artie having to finish sauteeing the mushrooms?

Tony inviting Artie to stay at the house is mainly due to Tony's need to have people around him who idolize and revere him and Artie is one of these people, Artie has always marveled at the life Tony leads. Artie looks upon Tony as the man who he should have become (money, power, woman) instead of the total opposite of Tony in terms of where he is in his life.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil">

Am I missing something?

I've read the above quote quite a few times and I still can not make the connection about the comical aspects of the above described scene from Wheres Johnny.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil">

I think they might have been doing their own home cookin if ya know what I mean, by the way Charmaine looked friggen hot!!!! She can be on the show more often in my opinion

</p>

oh just wondering if he was sauteeing with his own urine

The mushroom thing is refering to Artie's man hood. Sometimes women say he has a penis like a button mushroom, making out it is small.

I personally have one like a giant red wood.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b">

I'm very happy that they made up, too. As for Tony's motives, I'm sure he had many, as he often does: Artie is his childhood friend and he did want to patch things up. But I'm sure he doesn't mind having a chef around, either. Plus, he really needs a friend around.

Maybe he thought that with Tony B coming back, he'd have some companionship (other than Valentina and some random woman of the moment). But when Tony B didn't pan out in that sense, he figured that Artie would be a good choice.

And I thought it was hilarious when Artie got punched (or smacked, or poked) in the eye while trying to hold Janice back. It reminded me of the Columbus Day episode. Artie is really a funny physical comic.
