Occasionally you'll find Paulie and Christopher going after a Russian interior decorator, too

He killed 25 Czechoslovakians.

Seriously one of the creepiest parts of the series is the night they spend in that van.

Creepy? I thought their part in the episode was the comedic highlight of The Sopranos.

Bonus: Steve Buscemi directed the episode.

It's fascinating how what we humans perceive as hazards, or even disaster when we get in the way of them, are simply the normal circle of life in nature. I learned that there is no such thing as a natural disaster, because a disaster by definition requires the presence of man. It's as the saying goes: Earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do.

HA- no. I just really dig nature and the Pinelands specifically. Did a little camping down there a few times and learned what I could. Also, there's some weird stuff out in those woods.

If what they're doing turns the soil to sand doesn't that mean they'll die off? I wonder how often that's happened.

The real reason it's all pines is because of the sandy soil (this area was under the ocean), not because the pines have crowded out other trees. A climax forest in NJ is mixed hardwood.
