I know, I know, you’re sick and tired of friends ruining your dinner party by exclaiming: Oh my god, you haven’t seen The Wire? It’s only the best television show in the history of ever.
I was once like you, dear readers, blind to the ways of Marlo Stanfield, Tommy Carcetti, and Jimmy McNulty, but I finally gave in and now I can see the light. My friends were right. It really is the best show ever. That said, Amazon is offering up all five seasons of The Wire DVD, in a giant industrial-looking box, for $82 (the list price was $250). Or you can just wait for me to buy it, then take it from me, Omar Little style: “The game’s out there, and it’s play or get played. That simple.”
In a sort of related note, yesterday I became the proud owner of this shirt. Finally, my love of Baltimore street crime and whiny indie rock have come together. I shall wear it with pride.
Thanks a lot dickweed, that was $82 I could have spent on beer.
that shirt rules where did you find it?!
I was bad and bought the set also. Now to try to drum up enough photo sales to cover it. Must upload photo of peeing polar bear.
The band was selling them on their last tour, but I missed the Portland show. So I called in some favors and finally got one. I think they might eventually sell them on the Polyvinyl Records site. I wish there was a whole line of them, since I’d love a Bunk (or Bubbles!) one as well.
I just bought that box set too, despite my plans for an austere January. Thanks a ton.
EEEEEE!!!!!
Now about to start Season 4. Please no talk of what happens.
Brother Mouzone killed Biggie!
