I dislike the way many of the The Wire's fans romanticize the lifestyle, but then the show itself is partially to blame. The Barksdale storyline made "the game" seem real cool and sexy, which is certainly appealing to a backwoods Canadian who spends most of his time drinking alone and typing nonsense on a message board. Still, I'd be willing to give EHME a pass if he had an avatar of, say, Frank Sobotka instead.
I change my names to my favorite TV Drama's every few months.
So far I've had Simon Adebisi, Slim Charles, Det. Frank Pembleton, Vic Mackey, Lt. Jon Kavanaugh, Antwon Mitchell, and now Brother Mouzone. I'm problay going to do another Homicide: LOTS character next... Debating between, Lt. Al Giardello or Det. Max Kellerman.
