    I’m just messing with you, Matt, but the fact remains that they do ask for a fee, and they do state in the opening credits that they are mercenaries for hire. But I think it’s great you can take something meaningful from such a ridiculous show (and I say “ridiculous” with affection—I watched the show pretty much every week for the first two or three seasons). Maybe you do have a soul after all.
    The show is one of the main reasons I aspire to be a knight-errant:

    knight–er·rant\ˈnīt-ˈer-ənt\
    noun
    : a knight traveling in search of adventures in which to exhibit military skill, prowess, and generosity
    Other forms: plural knights–errant
    First use: 14th century


    If I didn't need money to work, I'd be able to freelance with an emphasis on FREE.

    Okay, you officially have a soul again. It’s just locked up inside a suit of cold steel armor.

    What d'hell you talkin' 'bout, Weathington? I pity the fool don't respect the A-Team! Don't make me come over to the TwoMorrows office and kick your Alter Ego right into the second Titans Companion! :)

    I think as a penance, he should have to write a companion to the series!

    I see him breaking down in tears over his laptop as he realizes his writing background has brought him to covering a chapter on Melinda Cullea's hair change from season one to season two. :)

    I'll have you guys know that I once (back in 2001, 2002) tried to get an interview with Mr. T (who I share a birthday with, by the way). This would have been for the Kirby Collector, as Jack did character design, set design, and prop design for the Mr. T cartoon. His agency never even responded to me.

    I could not conceive of doing an A-Team Companion without the participation of Mr. T, so I’m afraid you’re out of luck.

    And I never said I didn’t respect the show. There are tons of ridiculous shows that I adore. I wouldn’t say I adore the A-Team, but I did enjoy it for a time.

    Oh, and the hair color change would be a sidebar, not a chapter. ;)

    Has anyone ever done a video mashup of the A-Team and stormtroopers shooting at each other, and everyone missing?

    If not, someone should.

    To me the real gift the A-Team left us was the "Let's build an armory from parts just lying around the place" montage. Dr. Doom would have paid serious money* to have the A-Team working for him. They'd have built a weapon even that accursed Richards wouldn't be able to counter.

    Also, pat on the back, everyone! We took a Beatles thread and turned it into an A-Team one!

    *No, he really wouldn't. If he wouldn't pay Luke Cage, her sure as hell isn't going to pay Hannibal.

    Yes. . . but how many posts would it take us to turn it into a thread about why Matt doesn't read Batman anymore?

    At this point, can't you just copy & paste posts through the forum to fill a couple dozen pages?

    I've already read about Batman's first year & a death in his family back in the 80s! ;)

    The first step is admitting you have a problem.

    So this thread transitioned into Blathering about the Bat-less?

    Well, to be fair - I still read BatGIRL and BatWOMAN alongside the Snyder BatMAN title. All the other bat-stuff I don't bother with. And I'm looking to drop Batwoman.

    Bat-cocaine is a hell of a drug! :)

    Back to the Beatles. Anybody read The Fifth Beatle yet? Is there a thread already? I was surprised it was only $20! $17 on Amazon. I thumbed through it at Barnes and Noble. The art looks great. If Marvel produced it it would be split into two books for $30 a piece. And I'm a Marvel guy. I'll get it after the holidays.

    No. I ordered it from my LCS, but either my shop or Diamond dropped the ball, and I have not received it yet, and I won't be getting back to the shop until after New Year’s, so I'm rather irritated because I was hoping to take it with me when I visit my folks.
