I'll go for it - I voted for Eatin' ain't Cheatin', cause even though its terrible, it was intriguing. I liked that I laughed, was shocked, and wondered (like VicChick..who the heck is Shane "eatin"?) all at once!
My other favorite line didn't make it into the poll - mostly because I'm a slacker and didn't get my suggestion to Chem in time (yes, yes, I suck, I am the queen of tardy posts, remember?) it was when they were about to break into the African guy's house, and someone says "Do we have a warrant?" and Shane says "Just my winning smile"...and even on from there when Vic says "do you hear something? with this big grin on his face...then says "Police" really really soft...that was *classic* Strike Team, IMHO...
) since I haven't gotten a chance to say this earlier - Welcome, Escutcheon!!! Hope you enjoy the board, with any luck I'll have more posts up to the Set Visit board soon, I still have scads of info, plus I got an email from Adam today with even *more* (is that possible?) ;D

Well, damn my hide. I was this close to putting "just my winning smile" in the poll! BTW, Peach, E also nominated "my winning smile" ... and was also late.
It's really cool that Adam returned your email ... next time you can tell him that this ep (his ep) was the hardest poll to decide because I had 19 possible lines! I even had a hard time deciding from among the top 8! (8 is the limit on poll choices, unfortunately). I was tempted to pick "eatin ain't cheatin'" but finally decided that "annointing the Pope of Dope" was too classic because of how it tied in to recent events. I also like "And H-cutter don't look good on no resume" LOL!
Just to show you how hard the choice was, here are the 19 ... and there a few others in addition to these that I just let slide:
1. Shane to Vic: "Eatin' ain't cheatin'"
2. Rawling to Aceveda (after he said 'I'm offering you
an olive branch'): "High enough to hang myself from?"
3. Vic to Halpern: "White smoke comin' out of
Antwon's cell, man--means he's annointing Weed as his
new Pope of Dope."
4. Vic to Halpern (after Halpern asks Vic if he's gonna take care of Weed for him): "You're lookin' at a bunch of bona
fide weed whackers."
5. After Weed says to Vic and Shane 'I don't hear you
saying nothin',' Shane takes his cell phone and says:
"Can you hear me now?"
6. Ronnie to Vic (after Vic intentionally tipped a cup
of coffee over on Dutch's desk): "Not your most
ingenious prank."
7. Dutch to Corrine: "Listen, I ... I hate to do
this to you, but I'm looking at a dead body right now
... I, I've got ... I've gotta go."
8. Pitarrio's girlfriend to Vic: "I'm out of a job ...
can't exactly collect unemployment. And H-cutter
don't look good on no resume!"
9. Shane to Lem after Lem asked if they have a
warrant: "Just my winning smile."
10. Shane to ST: "It's Okaye with me if it's OKaye
with you."
11. Vic to Okaye: "Look, I don't know how it works
back home in lion country, but here you get the needle
for killing cops."
12. Rawling to Shane (after Shane tells her Army was
probably just nervous): "NAH!! IT'S TOO LATE!!!"
13. Rawling to Dep. Chief Phillips: "As for the
seizures, they stay or I go! Then you can tell the
brass how YOU lost one of L.A.'s two female captains
because she was too tough on crime!!"
14. Pitarrio's girlfriend to Vic: "He used to talk
more, but some of the stuff he's seen, I'd keep my
mouth shut, too."
15. Corrine to Dutch: "He's the father of my
children, that makes him MY a**hole, not yours!."
16. Army to Shane: "Damn right! I mean, he may not
be as well versed in these things as an ex-army
locksmith, but I'll take my chances!"
17. Army to Shane: "This team--look that bull shit
never worked for me when I was pullin' sand out of my
ass in the desert, it's not workin' for me now!"
18. Vic to Shane: "Only one guy who can get El
Salvadorans, Russians, Africans and 1-9ers all in the
same bed."
19. Vic to Shane: "Plus I got eight missin' months of
kickin' ass with you guys to make up for."
