THE *OTHER* 100 BEST ‘WIRE’ QUOTES
12.07.09As awesome as the 100 greatest quotes from “The Wire” was, I think I like this follow-up even better. It begins with McNulty and Bunk’s classic F-bomb-riddled investigation of a murder, ends with Kima’s spin on “Goodnight Moon,” and in between is nine minutes of all-caps TRUTH. Oh, and if you haven’t seen “The Wire” but have plans to do so, then you need to stop watching by about the 8:30 mark, because most of the last minute is dealers gettin’ GOT. Spoilers galore.
It’s really about time I re-watch this show (you know, if it’s okay that I watch a box set), because this ten-minute video was just about the best possible way to start my day. Not as good as sleeping two more hours, getting a deep-tissue massage with a happy ending, going back to sleep for another hour, then waking up to the smell of bacon, but still: pretty good.

The only other reference to Rawls’ proclivities – although it’s probably not meant literally – was the “Rawls is a cocksucker” graffiti in the department restroom, that Landsman reads when cleaning himself up.
I had heard of the wire but never actually watched it till I decided to man up and downloaded the series last month. So far I’ve watched the entire series run twice and i’m thinking of watching it again. My fav scene is still Prez nonchalantly handing his gun over (again) after punching Valcheck
These quotes are so much funnier when they are taken out of context, haha.
“If it wasn’t for Sergei here, you’d be some cadaverous mothafuckas…”
Classic.
@Enrico: I share your confusion, if not your desire to see Rawls jiggle.
Outfuckingstanding. And yeah, better than espresso.
Anyone remember when Rawls was hanging out at the gay bar? Why did nothing ever come of this.
/wanted to see him get butt-slammed
I had an argument with one of my journalism class hipster friends about Slate over the weekend. I contended that it’s pointless drivel dressed up with Word of the Day toilet paper intended to piss its readers off. She contended, “Whatever, you just don’t get it.”
