If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them on Craigslist, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

For those of us that don't read the comments first, the "all on one page" version would have been better in the FPP..... I got bored clicking "next page" and I ain't going back now.....

this one is golden: I'm replying to your posting on Craiglist for assistance wanted. I'm a pilot, I speak fluent Spanish as well, and I weld. Does the "bouncer type" have to be the welder? Good luck on that. Bouncer-types generally aren't too bright. Now about the guns. When you say, "no deaths" do you mean maybe one or two? I don't know if you are aware how fast Mexicans multiply. Being of Mexican descent myself I know this as fact. If a couple should happen to expire in the rescuing of your friend, there are plenty more to take their place. Besides, she coundn't have been that good a friend if you don't want anyone killed. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. i pity the fool.

personally, I like the one that ends with "This better not be a joke." Homicidal AND no sense of humor? Glee!

Funny, but not nearly as much as I would have hoped. Many of the "interested" emails were clearly people who also go the joke.

Cute, but a little bit of a letdown. I want it to go somewhere, like to a Latin American country, where actual ass is kicked and actual names are taken.

It's also a viral marketing campaign for the upcoming A-Team movie.

LADHD? So if I get this right, you can't keep your attention focused for a prolonged period of time on all the stuff you're too lazy to do? Which is because of your short attention span, right? Which, in turn, stems from the fact that you're lazy? Wow, I'm going to write an op-ed on this and scare a whole new generation of parents. :)

I'd like to see this done for some other old school TV shows as well. Knight Rider would be pretty entertaining. "Man with no past and new face looking for winsome female in need of adventuring skills. Expert at karate chop and bausing things in distance to explode. Can provide own invulnerable talking car."

I like the ideas for casting in the comments after the article (the presidential cast was pretty good). I can throw out odd, half-baked casting ideas out as well as anyone: Murdock: Johnny Depp Face: Matt Damon? Val Kilmer? Robert Duncan McNeill? Someone more "tall and dark?" B.A: A tough one. Might as well annoy the purists and say...Halle Berry. Could be interesting. Hannibal: ...or, we could put a woman here, instead. If not Scott Bakula or Clooney or (dare I say it) Harrison Ford, then maybe someone like Linda Hamilton? I unfortunately don't have a great depth of actors' names in my head to pull from. On a slightly related note, I saw a van painted exactly like the A-team van a while back...except it was in Korea and as a result very small. I wish I could have gotten a picture.
