“This America, man.”

Lawrence suggested that I blog this; I think he wanted it as a bookmark to watch later. (Warning: contains language.)

They got most of the quotes I like, though some of them are cut short. (Stringer Bell’s “Later for that gangster bullshit” speech, Rawls’ “gaping a–hole” speech to McNulty (in context, the whole speech is actually pretty unexpected and moving), “…then we fight on that lie”.) How could you not pick up anything from Snot Boogie, though?

(I can understand not using the Bunk-McNulty crime scene investigation – that stands by itself.)

Tomorrow is National Ammo Day.

I always tell folks, “If you can’t do anything else, swing by Wal-Mart and pick up 500 rounds of .22 and a copy of Red Dawn.”

Irrational hatred.

I can’t explain why I dislike the Buffalo Bills. It has nothing to do with the Honorable Mr. Owens; I disliked the Bills before they signed him. It has nothing to do with Buffalo itself, a city that brought us the Buffalo wing, or Buffalo fans; I’m sure they are wonderful people who adopt stray puppies and help old ladies across the street. (I have a friend who used to live in Buffalo; he tells a great story about his experiences during one of the epic Buffalo snowstorms. When he talks about moving down the street with his cow-orkers, all of them roped together so they didn’t get lost in the blinding snow, you gain a new appreciation for Texas.) It has nothing to do with the Oilers and their spectacular collapse; if I was going to resent anyone for that, it would be the Oilers.

No, I really can’t explain it. But it does make me happy that Dick Jauron is the first coach firing of the season.
