David Simon, Live as Hell!

Koko: Some highlights from tonight's lecture:

"I'm the Pat Riley of television."
"My wife eye-fucked me."
"Everyone in this room should participate in jury nullification."
"I did the barbecue circuit."

And my favorite, "I had three reasons for doing this gig: Lorraine was here, I wanted to see Austin, and the Hearst Award tickles me."

He was clever, eloquent, spontaneous, and a lot more like McNulty than his comments about Aeschylus led me to expect. By the way, he also explained the origins of "sheeeeeeeit," so you two suckers are plain out of luck.
