Informer. Cocaine. Better Off Dead. Lillehamer. These sit in the pro corner for contestant number "Snow".
Chocolate. Milli. Blind Melons. Nelson (the twins). Money falling on strippers. Vanilli. These belong in the posse of challenger face "Rain".
Snow is colder, but removes itself from you faster. Rain cooperates better with drainage, but it allows for sappy romance to take place. A near draw, until you consider that Ice-T was a rapper and then a hardcore rocker for one album (with one banned song) before he settled into his day job of pony-tailed cop on the streets of NY.
Think about it: Crime in NYC drops a bazillion percent in the late 90s. Rudy Guiliani, or Ice-T? When he went all "Cop Killa" he wasn't trying to murder police officers, he was removing the corrupt. By way of the Uzi. Lyrically. And now we're all better off. 


Thanks Ice-T. We always loved your courage, your hats, your loafers, and Richard Belzer.
