Rival lookalikes #1 - the Wire vs the NBA

Word has reached Pulling the Wire that, when not bothering the mean streets of Baltimore, our favourite Wire stars like to chillax on the basketball court. Of course, as lookalikeys go, these are all rubbish compared to the home-grown talent we have at PTW, however I do quite like the one of Morgan Freeman looking like some other dude.



Though let's not encourage these amateur rivals. Tell us in the comments how much you love Pulling the Wire!

The Six Degrees of Sepootration

Hey so here's a new game you can play all of once: Poot numbers.


Here's how it works: my friend's sister is in a movie with McNutty from the Wire, who must have been in at least one Wire scene with the Legend that is Poot. This gives me a Poot number of 4, the number of connections between me and the Man Himself.

Can you beat that? Are you closer to Pootness than me? Let us know your Poot number (and whatever crazy convoluted network you used to achieve it) in the comments!

Lookalikes #3 - D'Angelo's mum vs Princess Fiona

While watching a particularly emotive scene in which McNulty tells D'Angelo's mum, "Honestly? I was looking for someone who cared...", I (much like every other Wire puller I assume) felt her pain and sympathised a mother losing her son. However, the heart-rending distress is short-lived if you reimagine the scene being played out with Shrek's bride* Princess Fiona in the role of Brianna Barksdale. Yes dear readers, we have a new lookalike for you today: D'Angelo's mum and Princess Fiona from Shrek!


Princess Fiona


D'Angelo's mum
