Hundreds of mobsters arrested, charged with having very odd nicknames

The most interesting thing about the big Mafia arrest story is the oddball collection of nicknames associated with the hoods.

Federal, state and local agents swooped in late last week and arrested more than 100 suspected mobsters from New York City to Italy. Officials said it was the largest operation against the mob in the FBI’s history.

But the most interesting thing about the story is the oddball collection of nicknames associated with the hoods. Such as:

Bennie "Big Bucks" Bernanke hasn't been arrested yet

• “The Vet” 

• “Mousey”
• “Little John” 

• “Beach” 

• “Tony Bagels” 

• “Johnny Bandana” 

• “Hootie” 

• “Meatball” 

• “Burger” 

• “Vinny Carwash” 

• “Junior Lollipops” 

• “Pooch” 

• “Johnny Cash” 

• “Fat Dennis”, “Little Dennis” and “The Beard” 

• “Baby Shacks”, “The Old Man” and “The Professor” 

• “Baby Fat Larry” and “BFL” 

• “Mush” 

• “Jimmy Gooch” 

• “Benji”, “The Claw” and “The Fang” 

• “Cheeks”, “Anthony Firehawk”, “Anthony Nighthawk”, “Nighthawk” and “Firehawk” 

• “Lumpy”, “Fatty” and “Fats”

From now on you will please address the Editor as “Johnny Keyboard” and the Administrator as “Vinnie Six-Pack.” (It’s a reference to his abs. Really. Has nothing to do with his drinking habits.)

What we really need are nicknames for the mobsters in Washington. Nicknames like Janet “Open Border” Napolitano? Barack “Kid Kenya” Obama? Al “Funny Girl” Franken? Ben “Big Bucks” Bernanke?

Got any other suggestions?
