So, what was the holdup? Or I just started watching The Wire.

um .... k.

 

That would be a fantastic name.

 

Why would you nuke?

Not tough enough to stand up to the modern urban crime enviroment?

 

Niiiiiiiiice.

 

An interesting story on some of the people that characters were based on and their documentary:

just finished season 3 the other day - maybe because we watched through at a slower pace this time, but I think more because of the setup for all the political backstory, I just wasn't a huge fan of the first half of the season. the last half was great, though I still don't get how stringer wasn't pickin up on the 'I'm gonna get you got' vibe.

 

I'm two episodes away from finishing Season 4. So far, it's my favorite. My wife's a third-grade public school teacher, so, obviously, it's her favorite, too.

Can't believe I missed this the first time around.

(paraphrasing)
Lawyer: How have you managed to live like this?
Omar: Day by day I suppose.

 

"You're taking minutes on a criminal fuckin' conspiracy???"

Seeing one of Bell's lieutenants with a copy of "Roberts' Rules of Order" was priceless.

"Siddown! Da chair don't reco'nize yo' ass."

 

That was one of my favorite lines on the show.

 

This motherfucker too stupid to have the floor.

Who among us hasn't thought those exact words covering a school board meeting, I ask you?

 

I would love to hear someone say at a meeting "Do the chair know we gonna look like some punk ass bitches?"

 

Adjourn your asses.
