My highlight is Clay at 8:40

Great stuff

 

Been sending this to people much of the day. I think we should fill in the ones they missed. Because there are several.

I'll start.

"College kids ain't shit!"

 

Got to. This America, man.

 

That's good. That's like a 40-degree day. Ain't nobody got nothing to say about a 40-degree day. Fifty? Bring a smile to your face. Sixty? Shit, niggas is damn near barbecuing on that motherfucker. Go down to 20, niggas get their bitch on. Get their blood complaining. But 40? Nobody give a fuck about 40. Nobody remember 40, and y'all niggas is giving me way too many 40-degree days! What the fuck?

 

It's Baltimore gentlemen, the gods will not save you!

 

This my corner!!

 

That one is my favorite. I was surprised it wasn't in this video, at least I didn't catch it on the first viewing.

 

How many posters here picked their handle after characters on The Wire? Anyone else besides Bodie and Det. Jimmy McNulty?

 

It's not exactly the name, but isn't there a poster named Omar Don't Scare?

 

Hey, hey, hey. A life. A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come.

 

Damn! That shit has me inspired to go through the whole series again.

 

There's someone on here who has the honorable Clay Davis as their avatar, but it's not their screen name. Can't remember off the top of my head ...
