The form of the Blessed T is exactly how I imagined the wrasslin' angel appeared unto Jacob. No burning wheels, no eye-covered bulls, no six-winged androgyny; just mohawked manliness (also a helicopter with chocolate catapults).
This is a true story though I will deny it under most circumstances:
For several years of my formative gaming days, I had a homemade Mr. T 'cabbage patch' styled plush toy, a gift from my great-grandmother (who meant well and did better) tricked out as "Mr. DM." It said "Mr. DM" right on his little denim jacket.
I kept him behind the screen with me as a GMing mascot. Rarely (mercifully) he would act as my enforcer. "I pity the fool who speaks out of turn! I PITY HIM!"
Because my campaigns were otherwise excellent, and because my players were good friends, nobody ever had the heart to tell me why this was not really the greatest thing I'd ever come up with, but eventually I figured it out on my own.

"You should all review Jeff Rients threefold model to even begin understanding my superiour insight."
"Man, is there anything Jeff CAN'T do when it comes to gaming? This guy is like a critical 20 every roll. Jeff can bite the heads offa five game geeks, including their sorry-ass DM, and spit 'em into a large duffel bag ONE AT A TIME!...that's just the kind of messed up bastard he is! You think yer a gamer, punk? Well..do ya? Jeff will depants your weasel-ass right in front of your grandma."

Even before your first clue, I thought it had to be Mr T. I am so cool. :D
ReplyDeleteThis the greatest thing since the old "Mr. T ate my balls!" meme!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd lo, as Shatner did ascend to the Holy Mountain, then did Mr.T stride down the other side.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fools trembled, for there was much pitying to be done.

Jeff is on the jazz!
ReplyDeleteMy friends once taught a child to say sucka fool. Even though the kid got into a lot of trouble, it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see it wasn't the Hoff. Phew.
