Thanks for all the welcomes. I promised Glenn I would wait until we talked I owed him an explanation and an apology, which he graciously accepted, now I can post again WHAT HAPPENING MOOKS;

Thanks also to LBH, things went about the same and a special thanks to Kent for the support and guidence, Now that's enough of the Dr Phil stuff,

Welcome back Muddy. It's good to see you again OLD friend.  

Thanks for the frank talk, Muddy.  I appreciate your honesty.  Glad to be able to work things out with you.

Look out boys, he's baaaaaacck!  

Welcome back, MOOKMASTER!

It's all gooood in the hood!  8-)

Hey Gene; Thanks . What an easy talk of honesty that was Glenn, thanks you didnt even make me squirm!!!! 8-)

The Duke of Mook has entered the building! Welcome back Dom.

Thanks Mooks

Gee weez, the mookmania master is back.  

WB Muddy !

I kow this goes back a ways for you guys, but can some one tell me what a Mook is?

Long story made short: It is a term we use in my old Brooklyn Neighborhood. It comes from the Honeymooners then was brought out big time in Martin Scorsese's MEAN STREETS, in a fight scene;

" You can't call me a mook, hey Paulie whats a mook?"

It can mean several things, depends on who is saying it, who they are saying it too and how they say it

In South Brooklyn if someone on the block says>> WHAT's up Mook?' It means you are one of the regular fellas on the block

If someone is offering work and say it is a construction job and they want an Electrician, a plumber and 2 mooks: the 2 mooks are unskilled labor doing the lugging work

A Lawyer>>> Suit Mook

A person just sitting on the stoop all day gossiping: Stoop Mook

Getting Mooked; Somone bustin on you

A mook move: doing something goofy

and so on and so forth

Muddy welcom back.  Can't believe you stayed away so long.

Thanks Muddy.  I guess I'm new since your break, but good to meet you.  ff15

Muddy,

Having you back on here is like reaching into a coat pocket the first time you put it on for the winter,and find a $20 bill.  

Although a 20 won't buy much anymore!!! : :-?

Welcome back.
