Mr. T -- American (and Internet) Legend
Do you really think it's necessary to introduce this guide with a whole mess of lovey-dovey jibba jabba? Not this time, and especially not for a man whose actions, accomplishments, and odd assortment of novelties based on his likeness speak so loudly for themselves. On a related note, however, I do promise to try and keep the "I pity the fool" jokes at a minimum.
The Man, The Legend
Mr. T (born Laurence Tureaud) is an American actor known for his roles as B. A. Baracus in the 1980s television series The A-Team, as boxer Clubber Lang in the 1982 film Rocky III, and for his appearances as a professional wrestler. Mr. T is also well-known for his distinctive mohawk hairstyle, for wearing large amounts of gold jewelry, and for his tough guy image. He starred in the reality show I Pity the Fool, shown on TV Land, the title of which comes from his Rocky catchphrase.
All glory to the Wikipedia
Mr. T and the T-Force
I had my hands on one of these briefly, and in it T spent most of his time running around beating up unruly teenagers. Needless to say it was pure awesome.
Mr. T Will Protect Your Baked Goods
In a perfect world, every time you opened this it would bark at you in T’s voice “You gonna get diabetes fool!”
All you have to do is download the Mr. T voice pack from Navtones for your Tom Tom GPS device, and then every turn will be made with a little extra fear in your heart.
Mr. T Can Help You Improve at Statistics
Mr. T's Saturday Morning Cartoon Show
Crack jokes if you must, but there’s nothing creepy or weird about a fully-grown man “coaching” a bunch of mystery-solving teenage gymnasts, a redheaded little boy with a bad case of hero worship, and their mohawked canine.
OK, it’s admittedly a bit much, but certainly no less plausible than The Hills.
Take particular note of the physics-defying dismount that the girl does about 16 seconds in. Spinning and throwing a giant alligator over your head while treading water seems legit though.
Mr. T Looks Good Hanging From Your Neck
For those special occasions you want people to know you’ve seen lots of guys beaten up on TV. Who’s the tough guy now?

While this is as hard to look at as the first time I saw my Dad cry, could you imagine how awesome their offspring would be?

Mr. T Performs Miracles
Via Starpulse.com:
“Former A-Team star Mr. T once stunned a sick child’s family by bringing him out of a coma – after doctors begged the actor for help. The poorly kid fell unconscious in Detroit, Michigan in the mid-1980s – and the only physical movement he made was in response to hearing Mr. T’s name.
And when the mohawked star was in town, he stopped by the hospital to visit the ill boy – with miraculous results."
As in the kid came out of his coma by simply being in the same building as Mr. T.
Mr. T Makes Things Smell Better
Like pine needles with a hint of lemon and bad attitude apparently.

There are very few problems that cannot be rendered irrelevant just by looking at this picture.
Mr. T is a Lyrical Assassin
For his breakout album in 1984, Mr. T said what we were all thinking with such poetic hits as “Treat Your Momma Right,” “The Toughest Man in the World,” “No Dope, No Drugs,” and of course the crowd-pleasing favorite, “Mr. T, Mr. T (He was made for love)”
“Remember, when you put down one mother, you put down mothers all over the world.”
Blinged-Out "T" Shirt
Get all the cool but none of the oppressive weight of Mr. T’s signature gold chains with this awesome t-shirt. You might have to slum it on eBay though, as it’s unfortunately out of stock.
Clubber Lang Crunching USB Toy
Watch T get his abs on all while you playback Rocky III on your laptop. Granted, it’s just a toy and not a thumb drive, but let’s not downplay the minutes of enjoyment you will undoubtedly get out of it!
