Time ago a friend gave me a copy of some episodes from the second season of the tv series “The wire”. Finally, I decided to check them out. After watching the first two episodes, I got hooked up. As the creator has pointed out, this series is not about the characters (cops and drug dealers mainly) but about the city of Baltimore. Probably what makes “The wire” interesting is that it was created (and most of the episodes written) by a former journalist for The Baltimore Sun (David Simon) and an ex-police detective and public school teacher (Ed Burns). Then, it definitely has a realistic feel and does not follow all the conventions of a regular cop drama series (nothing is just black and white, everybody is in the game and have to play it in any way they see fit. As one of the characters says “This game is rigged, man. We like the little bitches on a chessboard”).
Just started watching the first season and certain scene made me remembered that the inventor of the chicken nuggets was actually a professor of poultry science at Cornell University. Of course, the scene is about something else but who invented the chicken nugget. Still, I reckon this was a good opportunity to pay tribute to the guy who “found a way to keep the breading attached to the nuggets during the frying process”[click here to read the reference].
Now, without further ado, the video:
-Man, these shits is right, yo.
-It’s good with the hot sauce, too.
-Most definite.
-Dee, want some nuggets?
-No, go ahead, man.
-Man, whoever invented these, he off the hook.
-Word!
-Motherfucker got the bone all the way out the damn chicken.
-Till he came along,niggas be chewing on drumsticks and shit…getting their fingers all greasy.
-He said “Later” to the bone.
-Nugget that meat up and make some real money.
-You think the man got paid?
-Who?
-Man who invented these.
-Shit, he richer than a motherfucker.
-Why? You think he get a percentage?
-Why not?
-Nigga, please, the man who invented them things…just some sad-ass down at the basement of McDonald’s thinking up some shit to make money for the real players.
-No man, that ain’t right.
-Fuck right.
-It ain’t about right, it’s about money.
-You think Ronald McDonald gonna go down that basement and say, “Mr. Nugget, you the bomb.
“We selling chicken faster than you can tear the bone out. So, I’m gonna write my clowny-ass name
on this fat-ass check for you.”
-Shit.
-The nigger who invented them things still working in the basement for regular wage thinking of some shit
to make the fries taste better.
-Believe.
-He still had the idea, though.
