"All in the game." - Traditional West Baltimore

In what seems like forever and a day ago, I promised to post pictures of the wonderful Wireopoly that rooferrocks made us as a gift. And so finally I get around to showing off her genius blending of Monopoly and The Wire.

I had also said I would write the "standard internet nerd essay about why [The Wire] is the best thing ever on television" but I think many other people have said it so much better than I ever could. So I will just briefly point out a few things before I get to the pictures:

• Charlie Brooker has many thoughts on the awesomeness of The Wire.
• It has practically become the official TV show of The Guardian.
• It's Obama's favourite show.
• I bloody love it. And people rarely point out how funny and entertaining it is. A dark kind of funny, but funny nonetheless. "You're supposed to be the good cop, dumb motherfucker!"

And so onto pictures, a few here and (loads and loads) more behind the cut.
