Met up with the Vin around 11ish and we headed up to 32nd street....

...hard look.

...are blurry! Vin & Mer continuing to work on their tough-guy faces.
tough
...they kept showing this picture of Soviet linguist, Yuri Knorozov who puts all of our attempts to look tough in photos TO SHAME! Haha. So bad-ass.
tough
...prove it actually IS possible to look tough while holding Maddy.
tough
So tough.

Siege and I were a pair of black pants away from being outfit-twins.
tough
...and had drink with this fucking guy! Happy October 2008!

Gabe and Pauly: bringing beardy back.

Meredith getting real butch on Nina. Haha. I love this photo so much.

It's pretty much impossible to make tough guy faces when you have beach hair and a pink towel, but that sure as hell didn't stop the likes of us!
tough
...but Vin kept on laughing (like he usually does). (By the way, any time I'm making faces like this in photos that's usually a leading indicator that I'm on my way to CRUNKEDSVILLE).
tough
My main man Vin was there. I kept trying to get us both to make ganster faces like we usually do...
tough
Looking gangsta in polka dots.

Me showing off Meredith's mom's bling on my pinky. It's a good look for me, no?
tough
Hahaha. She pretty much nailed it her very first time! I like how she combined the "NJ-Guido Brow-Furrow" with the "Staten Island Mouth-Pout." A very effective combo!

Meredith caught Vin and I taking one of our signature "Tough Guy" photos that we've been doing as joke since at least 1998, and wanted to give being a "tough guy" a shot.

Amanda showed off her neato four-fingered ring and I modeled...

Vin was there with a freshly shaved eyebrow line. Who'd want to start trouble (Ice, ice, baby) with him?

First thing we did after we dropped my bag off was head over to Stake 'n Shake. But before we get to that, check out my brother throwin' down with the crotch grab in front of his bitching ride. (Yeah, it's a station wagon, but it's a station wagon that does 0-60 in 4.88 seconds. That means his Subaru station wagon can take both a BMW M5 and a Corvette LS1 off the line. Whaaaa?). Anyway, this picture was taken in the parking lot of...

Early mornin' mountain men. These were taken on the back porch. The house sits on sort of a penninsula and is surrounded by the lake on three sides.

"Thug-shot" taken at a rest stop on our way north. This is probably the toughest photo of Vin and I ever taken. Looking at it, you'd never know that just minutes earlier we'd been listening to Madonna in my car.
tough
Fuck! I bet after you saw that last picture of Vin you said, "Man! That's the toughest looking face I ever say anyone make!" Well, back to show you a whole new level of toughness are Vin and Josh.

Man, what can I say about Vin Ganapathy other than he is my main motherfucker and subsequently one of the toughest kids I know. Here he is striking his infamous "Yo bitchass, I know your not talking to me" pose. Word.
