I just finished watching E2, S4 of The Wire. I’m a little bummed that McNullty is a beat cop but I’m pretty stoked on Marlow’s crew especially Snoop. Well I take that back. Fruit was kind of annoying and Marlow looks like a vindictive, black alien. Snoop on the other hand, floored me upon purchasing a Hilti nail-gun from a hardware store. To the befuddled sales rep, she so eloquently compares said nail gun to a .22 cal., hands him $800, picks up her “Cadillac of nail-guns” and calls it a day. You’d have to posses an erie and imbalanced set of aesthetic values to consider Snoop hot, but god damn!
But this post isn’t about that. Actually I had no idea where that Wire anecdote came from. Call it obsessive.
Anyhow, after finishing episode 2, I turned to the television where Michelle was watch Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network. Notwithstanding the blonde locked, douchebag, psychobilly host, the show is kind of impressive. In this episode, embarrassing goldie-locked host fleshed out a unique barbecue joint in the Bronx. The neat thing about this spot, is that they do automotive repairs while smoking your cue favorites such as brisket, pulled pork and ribs. And just when I thought New Yorkers could only smoke Newports, weed and crack. As our favorite Senator Davis would say “Shiiiiieeeeeeeeettttt.”
