Favorite funny moments from the Wire:
CORNERBOY(In "white" accent) : Young man, do you know where the Poe House is?(Normal voice) I said "Dude, look around!"
Snot Boogie
"A day at a time, I suppose."
"English, motherfucker, English!"
an orange-couch moment regarding Ronald's "clowny ass" and McDonald's fries
Bunk and Jimmy's,uh, secret language
Clay Davis
CRIME REPORTER: Is that all? Only three places at once? Maybe you can put a broom up my ass and I can sweep the floor, too!(Although maybe that one is in the delivery.)

First, ~mas to you in need of them.

And now, mearing because it's there and staring at me:

Shir crossed an entire country to come to The Girl's father's shiva last week, and I was awestruck (and probably have not thanked her enough)

Eh, sure. I guess that's true. I mean, it was the taking-two-hours-to-cross-if-there's-traffic side of the country, but I guess it correlates with the very fuzzy geographical essence of this place.

And hey, please. I needed this visit as well and it was lovely to see you two despite the circumstances, so thank you and the Girl for having me. You two are dear to me, as this place.

IreallyON: kittens! and The Wire! Woo-hoo!

(Now I'm imagining the cast with kittens. And it's all your fault).

I don't know if it was posted, but Ronald Searle died.

Edit: of course, I posted this beofre I saw Toddson's link.

Hey, remember the women of Bet Shemesh vs. The Horrible Ultra-Orthodox Men spoof that went on here and that some of you asked me about?

Here's their reply. It's brilliant, I teared up a bit, and I read it as a big Fuck You back to the media.

P-C, thanks for the link. I just picked up both seasons of Pushing Daisies on Blu-Ray for $20.

Ooh, I'll bet it's particularly gorgeous on Blu-Ray.

I almost bought the Blu Ray of SPN S6 two days ago, but the price scared me again.

Now? Now I'm wondering if I should replace some of my DVD seasons with Blu Ray. Motherfucker.

Thanks for linking to the flash mob, Shir. Love it.

Oh, wish I had some money for the DVD sale. Better that I don't, probably, and I've got a bunch of DVDs that I haven't watched yet. I filled a cart and deleted it, just for practice.

I have a couple of friends (smonster and Calli are friends with them too!) who got pregnant with triplets three months after they got married. To say it changed their lives is an understatement. They just turned ten yesterday. Ten!

I got sent home from work early today for being a walking germ. Nobody wants my cold.

Shir that is great. Even though described how the sudden attention phony and probably promotion for a right wing party, I'm not quite clear how the flash mob was a fuck you to the media, rather than to the men who try to impose segregation and modesty and such. I'm not disagreeing, just don't quite get it.
