    Howdy boys just got back from La La land aka Los Angeles, was there for 5 days to visit and check out my new car. During the fun times there I was lucky enough o meet the legend himself, the one, the only, you know him, you love him, he is the reason why the Brotherhood exists today ERNIE :).

    Now you must understand I have never met Ernie before or checked out his profile picture, so I did not have a clue what he looked like. We have chit chatted many times on F chat and over time you developed an image in your head of what he might look like or sound like.

    This is what I was expecting

    Hahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!

    Oh that was a good one Berto. :D

    You should have seen Berto's face when he saw me. It was pretty funny. He and this sort of puzzled look. The boy thought I was gonna look like "Revenge of the Nerds". He was also expecting me to sound like Marvin Martian from Looney Tunes. Hahahahahaaaaa.

    This man went out of his way to drive me from L.A to Costa Mesa almost 2 hours away to pick up my Lambo :) During this time we got to catch up and get to know each other. I must say I was way off on who I thought he was, not that I thought he was a bad guy on F chat I just assumed he was a bit more (how do you say) like a Poindexter :D:D:D all car knowledge walking around with a note pad and pens in his pocket ha ha ha

    Ernie I one crazy MoFo lol so happy I got a chance to meet him and his beautiful wife, on top of all that Ernie is a big deal at his day job, Master Controller for CBS Station. He even took us on a tour of the CBS studio's, it was awesome. I was not expecting any of this so it was Uber cool to walk around get the private V.I.P tour.

    Ernie thank you so much for all your warm hospitality, Charlene and I had a terrific time meeting you and your wife. You are very much like me Bro we were cut from the same stone and lived similar lives, it was refreshing to talk to someone so positive and up beat as you are.

    That being said I now forgive you for your meltdown you had a few weeks ago on F-chat :D

    My friend you can bet I will be back in L.A soon and we shall go an a rip down PCH in my Lambo ;), the girls can follow behind in the Z4 :D:D:D

    Hope you didn't mind me posting some photos of your ugly mug :) Say hello to your better half for me please.

    PS I used the handsome coupon already :D thanks

    Berto we had a good time pizan. Berto made me an honorary Pizano. :D I was totally happy to help you out, and it was very nice to finally meet face to face. My wife and I had a good time at dinner and she was glad to meet both of you. Sharline is a very nice, and a beautiful lady. You two make a very cute couple. I hope her sunburn is getting better.

    It's too bad we live so far apart bro because I KNOW we would hang out big time. And listen, when you come back out in a couple of months, I am B U Y I N G dinner this time.

    As for the handsome discount, I LOVE IT! So where did you use it??? That is so funny. I didn't think you were gonna use it so soon. Bravo, pizan, bravo.

    I lived in L.A. for many years and I can assure you that is not Ernie. Furthermore, I can factually state that's a paid actor. The charlatan's nom de plume is Hans M. DeVille. His real name is Sly T. Lefette.

    This is so awesome, and familiar!
    When I first met Ernie (and Bruce), it was on my front doorstep, when they drove all the way to Vegas to help me sledge my gearbox apart. I really didnt have any pre-conceived picture of him, but I at the same time, I was surprised to find out he was younger than me, and sounded straight out of Brooklyn! I assumed he was Italian, but later enlightened that he's actually (at least part) Mexican!
    In the USA, folks from CA (especially southern CA) have a pretty negative stereotype, and I think they get an even worse rap here in Vegas because the worst of the worst So-Cal scumbags have been moving here, and trying to take over Vegas for years.

    Ernie is not one to toot his own horn, but he's an awesome human being, has a wonderful family, and is very important and highly respected in his career. He is the kind of guy, every guy wants to be... he has it all, and he absolutely deserves it!

    Ernie (and Bruce) immediately earned my respect and admiration, and i'm very lucky and proud to call them my friends... and "brothers"! :D

    PS, Ernie, I hope you can still make it down this year so we can hardwire your doors!

    Well said Steve - I feel the same way, it is apparent with his willingness and eagerness to go out of his way to assist members with their issues.



    Ernie, your 2 minutes are up, you can leave the penalty box now :D

    LOL!!!

    I'm gonna use that one. I'll tell people I never played ockey (the H was left out on purpose :D) because I kept getting thrown in the box. When asked why? I'll answer, "Just for being handsome". Hahahahahaaaaa!

    The fourth last picture of the square black box is CBS version to TRON, that thing has every movie, TV show, sporting event, commercials etc... ever aired or programed on CBS since the beginning of time stored inside it, and it continually keeps storing storage of all events every day 365 days a year 24 hours a day :eek::eek: it's not even half full yet lol

    Second last picture is where Captain Kirk err Ernie sits, I knew he was a space cadet :D

    Hey Berto, Great trip and great company with you! Glad to see you had fun and enjoyed the sites with your new ride.

    Ernie your the man, What a great community we have here! I'm very impressed with this brotherhood. Where else can total strangers meet and it's like you've known each other for years. Now that's family.

    By the way what does the 3rd button on the left 4 rows down from the top,over to the right two spaces and down 3, over to the right 1 do? lol Man that's a lot buttons dude.

    Cheers
