It is Will Self's favourite kind of conga line, seriously read any Will Self book and about 90% probability he will have managed to reference "a veritable conga line of buggery". And also used the words 'jejune' and 'shibboleth'.

I guess it is assumed Pat said he was in prison for killing a barber. I believe no one will ever hate anything more than Pat hates barbers.

I was amusing myself with the possibility that he'd just chucked out some anti-barber diatribe in the middle of telling Miami about all the people he'd shot.

He did it nonchalantly. Perhaps compared the mental capacity of someone he loathes to that of a barber.
Miami: "What ABOUT barbers?"
Pat: *anti-barber diatribe*

Onstad didn't even have to depict Pat's actual turn at bat, but when it comes time for the evaluation, it is no hard sell to get us to believe he done fucked up. The in-between is tastefully left to the imagination.

Actually, I think it did have something to do with it. Vlad's "I gamble, I lose," may have meant that he was assuming that rape in American prisons was just as dominant as it is in Russian ones. It may in fact be a "man-rape conga line."

Yes, also this beauty of a sentence by Philippe, which is amazing and showcases just how phenomenal Onstad is at writing children:
"I didn't know what to do so I yelled for Lyle and he saw what happened and he went outside and I can't say what he did but he said that birds can't burp and only one thing can happen once they start choking but if that is true how come they up-chuck for their babies and he said that is different that is a different system meant only for feeding their babies and he and then and Lyle got his smells on Franky and Franky is in a towel in the laundry room but he is okay but we but he but what if he but his mom and if I and Lyle said we would bury her but I don't want him to and all I can do is cry tonight! Today is so awful!"

Miami uses the word "Salad" in his evaluations of the first three competitors.
Just though I'd point that out.
Salad is a constant resident in the back of the American con's mind.
Holy shit, I never even considered that the salad in "salad tongs" went with the other two...shit.
What's with all this salad imagery? Did you just see a salad?
Would somebody stop these people from saying salad ?
Salad.
literally. They'd eat it and they wouldn't say it, because their mouths would be full.
In Denmark a police van is called a salad dish. I've always wondered about that...
Never once noticed. 5'd just for that.
Prison food probably rarely includes salad. He may have cravings.
Actually, it... um... ...no. I will not make this joke. Never mind. Move on with your lives.
Chubbied for your restraint.

Chubby for making fun of the other Achewood geeks when you know you are one :)
Actually despite how that looks, I am not making fun. The above comment of mine is best read as just the part up to the "..."
Every one of the guys' reactions is solid Gold, from Téodor's "...Oh my God" to Lyle's "Stary Hard Miami" and his non-surprise at the fact he'll end up doing serious time one day.
Not only that, he used three different definitions of the word. Classy.
Also I like that Lyle isn't easily shaken even when a judgment like this is handed down. He will grow from this experience.
I like that Lyle is even in the midst of competition, he is still clutching his bottle of JD's.
If I could, I'd give you more chubbies for spelling "judgment" correctly.

I like how they still don't come right out and blatantly answer their own question at the end, they make you think about it at least a little.

I think you should apologize to Late for hitting it, really.
