Last night was the first episode of Mr. T's new "Reali-T" series
I Pity the Fool. It is without question that it delivered the good ol' tough-talking but lovable Mr. T we've always known. Mr. T successfully brought together a car dealership through the power of motivation. I therefore present to you the best quotes from this historic first episode.
"You know what I do to couch potatoes? I mash 'em up!"
"I had to get to Nemet Motors
fast."
"But at Nemet motors, family feuds weren't the only knock in the engine."
"
Thirty-five dollars? You gonna lose a deal for thirty-five dollars? That's CHUMP CHANGE! My lunch is thirty-five dollars!"
"But T never asks anybody to do something he wouldn't do himself. So first I got myself a fancy car salesman suit. Then I got on the phone to some potential customers."
"I had to teach the dealers my golden rule: Sell unto others as you would have them sell unto you."
"What about trunk space?" "I'm glad you asked that. I'm gonna show you how big it is. I'm gonna get in the trunk myself. See how big it is?"
"You know, I liked you from the moment I saw you on
The A-Team."
"If you just tuned in, what's your problem Fool? Show me some respect, and watch my show from the beginning!"
"Don't beat the customer, treat the customer."
"It was like Scott was trying to drive with the parking brake on--a parking brake named Tom Nemet."
"Two things were workin': the windshield wipers on Scott's eyes, and the radiator in Mr. Nemet's heart. If you want to polish a relationship and make it glisten, all you really have to do is learn to listen."
"It was time to hit the nitrous, burn rubber, put the pedal to the metal, and
get in the passing lane!"
"Cars was movin', deals was being made."
"Like I always say, you can't spell success without T."
"Helping people gives me a real sense of accomplishment, and I like to explain that feeling in rhyme and verse.
I came to Nemet Motors, down in New York City.
A place full of cars, and fools to pity.
Problem after problem, a messy situation.
The biggest of 'em all: a lack of motivation.
T took care of bidness, and others played their parts.
Not just sellin' cars, but touchin' people's hearts."
Meghan and I dressed up as Jim and Pam from the Halloween episode of The Office. Folks either got our costume or they didn't. The most common guesses amongst the ignorant about my costume were a domino, a musical scale, and a polka-dotted man...
Katie and Will made quite the nerdy team. Let's leave the rumors that this photo spawned for another occasion, shall we?
"Who ya gonna call?" Shirley and Rachel, of course.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Heidi and Molly. Props on the costume sewing skills!
Swag was none other than fellow wardie Shirley Escobar through the power of her trademark glasses, apron, oven mitt, and missionary copy of the Book of Mormon.
The pumpkins Meghan and I carved. I was a typical former geography major and fashioned the gourd's features from political boundaries dear to me. The eyes are Michigan and Utah. The nose is Ecuador. The mouth is Virginia. Meghan went with a more traditional "normal" look for her jack o' lantern. I guess it's a personality test of some kind... We toasted the seeds afterwards. Tasty!
Mom showed off her mad domestic skillz by creating this haunted chocolate gingerbread house complete with a brownie graveyard and an internal fog mechanism.
Megs has nice teeth. But this juxtaposition really isn't needed to underscore that fact.
This is why Katie Deibel should be kept away from sharp objects when she's in the presence of rotting gourds...
Baby Emma was a CareBear. Ain't she darling?
