“Bookstores, Bathouses, Bars . . . “
I’m following The Shield, a hard-edged detective show I have followed, when I can, ever since Glen Close was the police chief. If you thought Glen Close was tough as Cruella de Ville, wish you could see her as police chief/ 😉
The guy standing next to her is Detective Vic Mackey, a renegade plainclothes cop who plays fast and loose with the system. You know me, Mrs. Law and Order – whoda thunk I would find myself rooting for this guy as he undergoes close scrutiny from the Internal Affairs Division. He’s really a bad guy. He does really bad things. He is a LIAR! He lies to everybody! He kills people, he steals dope and money. And somehow you find yourself pulling for him. I don’t know why.
But the reason I am writing about this is because in yesterday’s episode, a couple guys get their private organs caught in rat traps because they stuck their organ in a place called a “glory hole” for a little excitement and got more than they had bargained for (ouch). See what you can learn from these shows? And this is on during daylight viewing hours?
So the new police chief, a very cool and tough black woman, tells the detectives to go check “bookstores, bathhouses, bars, you know, the places these perverts hang out. . . ” and I am thinking “BOOKSTORES?” BOOKSTORES?? I hang out in bookstores all the time! I never see any perverts at the Barnes and Noble, or Half Price Books!
The things you learn on televison. I hope children are not watching this show!

this has nothing to do with ur post BUUUT i foudn this amazing recipe which i posted on my blog, and it calls for mixing some vinegar with baking soda then puting it in the cake … do you have any idea why? what difference does it make etc? thanks a lot! 🙂
Chirp! Yes! It is a very old fashioned way of leavening (making rise) a cake. Old fashioned gingerbread is made that way, and I think it is so much fun to see that reaction. When I taught English to children, it was one of the things we would do.
Thank youu!!
Maybe she meant adult bookstores?!
I expect that is what she MEANT, Kinan, but that is NOT what she said. I watched the repeat the next day to be sure before I printed it. It just made me laugh! I bet the script said “adult” bookstores, LLOOLLLLL
I love this show, I have it on DVD–keep in mind the seamy area they are in. Maybe the only bookstores in their district are the adult bookstores. I, too, like the character Vic Mackey. Even tho he is a crooked cop, underneath he has some endearing and redeeming qualities. He isn’t just a bad guy.
Why am I not surprised you like this show, too, Momcat? 🙂 I don’t know, where is it set – Baltimore? Have you watched The Wire – The Shield reminds me a lot of The Wire, which our son got us hooked on. I think it is in its’ final season right now. Vic Mackey – the episode I just saw, he is holding his new baby, very touching moment, tough cop, innocent new born baby. . .
