Stuff White People Like is, IMHO, one of the funniest sites on the web. Mainly because of how TRUE it is.

Can’t take a fucking joke, people?

Sincerely,

A lot of good quotes, but a lot of good ones missing. My favorite is the argument in season 3 between Lester and McNulty when Lester says:

“You need 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.”

Its funny this comes up today because the last three days I have been watching through the seasons on DVD.

Easily my favorite show ever.

If one wants a course in how the war on drugs is the new face of Jim Crow, either The Wire or Nate Blakeslees Book "Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption in a Small Texas Town" http://www.amazon.com/Tulia-Cocaine-Corruption-Small-Texas/dp/158648219X will serve as a text. The Wire has finally arrived on ABC Television in Australia, the first series has just finished and the second season begain this week.

I nominate the parallel uses of “get on with it, motherfucker” from the last episode of season three.

Did they get:

At this range? In this caliber? Even if I miss I can’t miss.

Man I miss the show…

Agree with the ommitted quotes above – and a few others I wish had been included:

Vondas: (“Business or pleasure?”) Business. Always Business.

Brother Mouzone: Now ask yourself, what do I have to do before that man raise up his gun again?

Omar: We had a disagreement. He thought he should keep his money, and the drugs he’d been slinging. I thought otherwise.

@Sam: Yeah I saw something about that; it’s called “Treme”, I believe. From what I’ve heard it centers around the New Orleans music scene, but knowing Simon I’m sure he’ll focus on the Dickensian aspects of the story.

Simon’s got a new show about New Orleans post Katrina coming up next year on HBO. The preview looked interesting and it has The Bunk. Well, the actor. But still!

Bubbles: “Soc-what?”

Also, nothing from Bunny Colvin’s “paper bag” speech, an omission which, if I’m not mistaken, technically qualifies as a federal crime.

One more:

Chris: “You think you’re a badass because you pulled us over for speeding.”

Bunk: “I know I’m a badass. I’m thinking about pussy.”

Snoop: “Me too.”

Two missed:

Snoop: “He said it was the Cadillac of nail guns. He meant to say Lexus, but he didn’t know.”

Other dealer after Slim shoots Cheese: “That sentimental muthafucka just cost us money.”

Prop Joe, Omar and Bubs were the wisdom-laying motherfuckers in that show.

Man I miss it.

they missed the Bunk-McNulty crime scene f-bomb orgy and not enough from Seasons 2 or 4, but other than that, very solid.

agreed – never anything better.
