However, to have the strongest and most fierce mafia around, we need our men to be ready for anything. So expect more surprises like this in the future.
We also have been working on our internal family structure.
Many hours of deliberation have been spent in the reference section of the Guido Library, and this is the result…

HIT MAN

ENFORCER

SOLDIER (also, Made Kid)

ASSOCIATES

Men in waiting
Alyson from Common Sense, Dancing has been promoted to HIT MAN with her stellar entry, proposed alternative spelling and recruitment of a new ASSOCIATE.
Made Men – you are all ENFORCERS, with the exception of Surferwife, who has been demoted to SOLDIER after her desperate attempts to garner our attention. Respect from the Dons must be earned.
Rhonda is a good example of that, Surferwife. Her Everyone Poops post caught the attention of the Dons and her hardwork has been duly noted.
All men who have participated in at least 1 round of Word Up, YO! are considered ASSOCIATES, with the Men in Waiting comprised of all those who are too wimpy or who lack the wordsmith skills to throw their crowbar into the mix.
This week, we are making 2 more men.
Congratulations to The Flying Chalupa and Amanda from It’s Blogworthy!!

Cooking up a post as we speak…
Oh, and three times this week, Blogger has rejected my comments using openID… so I'm trying it the old fashioned way. Hrm.
Love Flying Chalupa, love It's Blogworthy. This is becoming so much fun to hop around and read.
Just when I think I'm all up on whose who, I read posts like this, and I'm all like, “I gotta go check her out and her, and her!” Definitely gotta go read about the blog that mentioned poop a lot…I'm all about the poop!
YES! I caught the attention of the Dons! I must get my game face on now!
Rhonda
Can you hear it? That would be the sound of me screaming! THANK YOU, DONS! I won't let you down. I will post my button with pride and will slings high-faluting words in people's faces like verbal boomarangs!
I knew I had a winner with the haiku.
Demoted huh?
Did you hear that noise?
It the sound of me locking this into my memory.
I know people in high places.
Watch yo backs.
I'm an idiot, I didn't get my entry done in time!! Boo Hoo!!
