    You aren't alone (see comments). http://sabotagetimes.com/reportage/top-four-seasons-of-the-wire/ And... The Wire + Oz = Clusterfuck

    The Wire

    Season Two really breaks the bubble of a lot of potential 'they' thoughts - age, race, class, locale ("the streets", Baltimore, US, etc.). Suppose the entire series is about scope, but I think season two really keeps the conversation from getting too comfortable on these issues. Haven't seen in a long time and don't want to excuse any pacing problems, but just wanted to state the likely obvious - a pacing change may be appropriate for the "change in scenery."

  5. No. No possible future court evidence that I offered my daughter a Twinkie. On a brighter note, had a Fred's Steak sandwich at Schaub's Meats for lunch today. If anyone is ever at the Stanford Mall and looking for a sandwich, it's damn fine. https://plus.google.com/118186980441558846271/
  6. So far the reviews on Twinkie... Myself: "I don't remember them being this small" (last had at least three decades ago when mouth was likely smaller). Melissa: "I don't know if it's the Twinkie, but I'm feelin' sick." Esmé (eyeing so tiny bite offered): Quick head-shake back and forth. Senses danger. Will not sample. "Bye-bye." Cup Cakes will wait for another battle. Hopefully they'll stay fresh.

    The structure to the series/answer to that question is maybe the most amazing thing of the series. Anyone have a favorite theme version (which hints at the answer)? Hard to beat Waits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR9_wbTrInI Season 1, The Blind Boys of Alabama Season 2, Tom Waits Season 3, The Neville Brothers Season 4, DoMaJe Season 5, Steve Earle
