Just think what all will be able to post when Vinnie passes....who'll be the first to re-name their city after vin-dawg? Will it be Lakewood now known as 'Vinwood'? or how about Long Beach 'Vin Beach'? Maybe Mayor Villagroso will choose to do the right thing and re-name LA 'VA' 'Vin Angeles'?
Vinnie...our god....dulcet tones.....all must bow....vin-dawg....on a leash....vin-dawg...oh comelet us adore him before he passes....
