RazorRamon's music blares through the streets as superstar legend RazorRamon pushes and shoves mobsters out of his way to get to a podium that is inexplicably set up on the street corner. Several Godfathers approach him as he makes his way up to give his speech and ask him for autographs. RazorRamon obliges them respectfully as the Godfathers gush with giddy excitement.

Hello fans.  A new year is upon us. While we all look to the future, I thought we could take a moment to celebrate some of the more prominent street speakers of last year. Who do you think should be crowned Street Champion of 193(whatever it was)? Nominate who you think was best. There is no specific criteria. "Best" can mean whatever you want it to mean.  It can be a mobster that still walks among us or a fallen soldier no longer with us. And don't be shy to say why you think that person should win the coveted Mafia Street Champion trophy.  I'm sure your explanation as to why you think the person should be awarded the title would appreciate the sentiments. 

RazorRamon yanks a white sheet off a beautiful gold statue-sized trophy. The crowd cheers, not because of the trophy, but because RazorRamon has taken the time to make an appearance and speak to his fans. Sunlight radiates off the shiny polished trophy as it sits on the street corner, awaiting its rightful owner.

As I stand in the crowd witnessing this display of rejoice over a trophy I see in Razor's eyes how proud he is, yet again, for being seen as a champion.  Is he full of himself or just cocky because he feels he is the best at all? Only he can tell you that but today I put my hands together and congratulate him for his new title!!!

RazorRamon looks down at Szatiglio who is presently looking back at him clapping his hands together.  At first RazorRamon assumes that Szatiglio is a fan.  He later realizes that while he is 100% correct that Szatiglio is indeed a big fan of his, he is actually applauding because he think RazorRamon has already won the trophy.  A fair assumption, but RazorRamon feel it necessary to explain nonetheless

Szatiglio my good man... while I always appreciate fan adoration, I feel I should let you know that this trophy as no owner as of yet.  If you have a person in mind who you feel is worthy of donning the title Street Champion, this corner is the place to do it.  If your applause for me is in fact your nomination, well then I graciously accept your nomination and thank you for it.

RazorRamon signs an autograph for Szatiglio as a sign of appreciation...

Szatiglio,

Follow your dreams. 

RazorRamon

So many damn fans today gathered for RazorRamon.
Suns crawled through the mountains of ants as he approached RazorRamon.
Pushing, kicking, punching away to reach his final destination.

"RazorRamon?!"

Suns stared at the man in front of him.
The man nods and smiles with a trophy in his hand. 

"Oh My Gawd, Razor! I've been your fan boy since you've Debuteddd!!! Could you pleaaseee give me your autograph!"

Suns loosed the tight mafia look out of his face and made a smile that looked so stupid even the kid next to him thought he was a creep.
He took out a Photo Collection of RazorRamon and hands it to Razor.

"Can you write, ' to Razors best fan Sweetsuns! '"

As Razor hands me a piece of paper with his signature on it I look at it carefully and say to myself, "should I keep it for chance of him becoming world renown or burn it so the feds don't get his handwriting." I decide to keep it because there is no possibility that the Feds will ever get this paper from me. As I fold it up and put it in my breast pocket of my pinstripe suit I say to Razor, "GOOD LUCK! YOU HAVE MY VOTE MY FRIEND!"

To Razor's best fan Sweetsuns

Regards,

RazorRamon

Here you go Sweetsuns, and always remember that without fans like you and all the other mobsters and here on this street corner today, there would be no RazorRamon.  I will always appreciate my fans, even the smartmarks like Ragnarok who I believe is a big closet RazorRamon fan as well.  Thank you. 

That goes for you too Szatiglio, and thank you too for your nomination.  I am humbled.  Certainly there are others from this past year worthy of a nomination.  I look forward to hearing who else should be considered and why.
