Every Day Should Be Mr. T Day
I am a man who suffers periodically from crazed Mr. T binges (blame youtube for enabling me). Today was such an occasion. I don’t think I need to explain why I’m often mesmerized by the man with the reverse mohawk, enough gold chains to crush a lesser being and a lack of patience for “jibba-jabba“. If you’re close to my age, you know. Mr. T was a force of nature. Even today, although mellowed like a fine wine that can still kick your ass if you disrespect your mother, he still is my hero.
Who didn’t want to be Mr. T? Or at least didn’t want to hang with T? I didn’t care if I wasn’t black, I wanted to have a reverse-hawk, big gold chains and rolling with the A-Team, speaking jive and teaching kids to be cool and stop stealing those hubcaps. I wanted to be lifting up cars with my bare hands and freaking out about flying in a plane. I wanted to pity the fool—I really, seriously did and still do.
With that said, I feel compelled to share some of the videos and quotes that have had me freaking out with gibbering glee all day long:

Playing them all at once, I’m not surprised. It’s youtube.
