Zak’s sentence is the translation of an italian common saying which means “I physically can’t wait!”.
I don’t know what do you mean or what your link means, but…
…but this is funny anyway! 
Actually the original Zak version would fit on one of these disks - if they were real. 
MI1 needed two of these disks AFAIR.

The pictures (on the wall) have nice frames. 
How have you made them? Screenshot of a real C64 demo?
I don’t know, I didn’t anything of those things. I just grabbed the pictures from the Cervignano Facebook page.
It looks like the C64 border while loading from the cassette !

I love that. It´s funny how different the “titles” are in each language. There is political rulers, religious entities, sports persons and actors.

…and mafia tough guys.
Which isn´t even technically correct. A godfather is the person present to the baptising ceremony. To catholics that´s a good thing.
