Tony's Theme: Poor Disposal Habits

Tony fucks up while disposing of things a lot in ways that come back on him. Obviously not every time, but enough.

  • Doesn't get rid of the Pie O My painting himself the first time and ends up coming face-to-face with Paulie's remix version
  • Throws away his Cleaver mug after Chrissy dies by throwing it in the backyard bushes, thereby guaranteeing some gardener would eventually hand it back over to him
  • Throws his gun into the snow while he makes a mad dash from Johnny Sack's place, and ends up almost being charged with something popcorn-related iirc
  • Gets lazy disposing of his pocket contents and a broken nail ends up costing 40K
  • Failed to oversee the disposal of his childhood pet and it ends up with JFK's mistress.

Failed to dispose of Coco's teeth from his clothing folds.

Did Coco die from that?

Think there's a line, maybe from Butchie, that says Tony almost killed him. So he's alive but in a bad way at the ens of the series.

I'm gonna nitpick here. Carmela found the broken nail while she was doing the washing. She grabs Tony's shirt to throw it in the washing machine and the nail pops out of one of the pockets.

Remember that Valentina was wearing that very shirt in the hotel where she and Tony have their rendezvous.

Carmela places the nail on Tony's nightstand as a clear message - challenge? - to him that she knows he's still fucking around on her and also guaranteeing that he will not mention the $40k she stole from the bird feedah.

yes, but my point still stands: if he had practiced good disposal habits, the nail would not have been there to begin with.

True, true. He's complacent because he knows even if he gets caught he just pays Carmela off - whether it's a fur coat, a diamond and sapphire monstrosity of a ring or staying silent about the stolen $40k.

He never had the makings of a varsity waste management consultant.

Kids these days, remember how it was? Fainting like a little sissy after arguing with mommy, dropping fly balls in the outfield, embarrassing his muddher's Feeble Minded bruddher in law, now it's lying on a couch, crying to a shrink like a stunod.

That's 100% understandable, Tony is a goombah with a criminal record, it's best not to be caught with an illegal gun on him as he's chased by FBI agents, by ditching the gun Tony does get charged later but it will make the prosecution's case harder to prove because it was like what, about a year later when that geek was caught with Tony's gun? Too much time has gone by to definitively tie the gun to Tony, the FBI will now just use that gun as part of their RICO case hoping that with some other circumstantial evidence they can show a pattern of criminality that follows Tony around because he's a high ranking goombah, not a "waste management consultant".

I'd like to see how Mink would try to explain away Mr. "Waste Management Consultant" being caught on surveillance video at Johnny Sack's home, who admitted in open court to being King Goombah of New York City try to explain away Tony is not King Pygmy in Joisey. When is it common for Waste management consultants to have early morning meetings with an admitted mob boss and bring a gun along with them, what's the gun for? Helping King Pygmy negotiate from a position of strength?

Tony is very emotional, you would be too if the whore who was banging your father stole your dog and then put it to sleep because the old whore is too lazy to look after a dog when her sissy son got a job as a stewardess.

Tony certainly did not have the makings of a varsity athlete, the only thing worse than Tony's 40 yard dash was Pussy's 10 yard dash. Side not though, it was funny that Tony got away but Sal Vitro is assaulted by FBI members thinking he's also a goombah and not the guy there to cut the lawn. If it's not bad enough that Feech broke Sal's arms, Sal has to pull his son out of college to assist with the business and Sal gets assaulted for being at Johnny Sack's home because now Sal has to cut Johnny's home for free because Pauly stepped in to "help a kid from his neighborhood", that poor bastard.

I lean more towards complacency than being lazy, Tony knows Carmella knows he's a cooze hound and has accepted that fact, Tony does not have to hide his cheating from Carmella, also, Carmella was looking for an excuse, any excuse to steal money from Tony to start setting herself up for financial independence from Tony. Hell, if there was no cheap fingernail that belonged to that whore Valentina, it would be something else Carmella would use to justify stealing from Tony, Hugh's son in law who broke a guy's kneecaps to get Hugh power tools as a gift on his first date out with Carmella, Livia's future daughter in law. Carmella could find sprinkles in bed from when Tony ate a "midnight snack" which was a whole tub of ice cream and the fact that Tony did not bother to clean up the sprinkles pisses off Carmella because he "thinks" Carmella is his maid, well then, Carmella will act like a maid and take her salary, $40,000 out of the bird feeder.

Tony was a kid, living at home with his adulterous, scumbag father, disposal of the pooch was out of Tony's hands.

Man I've seen a lot of your comments around here recently and all I can say is you really like the word goombah.

four20fiveOP•

it's a relevant word on this sub so... so what?

Mr__Sampson•

Well I do think there are synonyms that would often suit the sentence flow better but really Im not trying to disparage man. It's almost like a little calling card, I always recognise your comments.
