Mr. T and the Traveling Gymnasts
Have you ever had a dream that made absolutely no sense in hindsight, but you went with it at the time? Did you wake up and think about it some more and eventually realize how improbable and nonsensical the whole thing was?
Well, I have had that same experience with an old TV show. At the time, it made perfect sense and I didn’t think much of it. I simply went along with the whole thing.
Well, times have changed. I have “woken up” so to speak and am realizing just how bizarre this show was. Quite simply, I want to get to the bottom of this. I need to get to the bottom of this. I can’t take it anymore. I don’t only want the truth – I demand it.
What on God’s great green earth was going on with this cartoon? The planning session must have gone something like this:
Let’s take Mr. T and we’re gonna need some traveling gymnasts and we’re gonna want them to do backflips and fight crime. As a matter of fact, we even want them to do both at same time. Mr. T is to provide motivational support while looking tough and being a positive mentor to a young boy. We’ll throw in a mean looking but no doubt cuddly dog for good measure.
Huh?
All of this aside, that dream was AWESOME! I pity the fool who does not like this intro:
P.S. One lousy comment about this video and I’M GONNA WHIP YOUR BUTT INTO A POUND OF CREAM CHEESE!
His major contribution to the world was not a set of aphorisms. He was born in a turdy barn, grew up in a dirty world, got baptized in a muddy river. He put his hands on the oozing wounds of lepers, he let whores brush his hair and soldiers pull it out. He went to dinner with dirtbags, both religious and irreligious. His closest friends were a collection of crude fishermen and cultural traitors. He felt the spittle of the Pharisees on his face and the metal hooks of the jailer’s whip in the flesh of his back. He got sweaty and dirty and bloody – and he took all of the sin and mess of the world onto himself, onto the cross to which he was nailed naked.
Wow. Um… That was cheesetastic.
