Although, you did disappoint in that despite writing an entire paragraph about Hannibal (Bill Hybels who?), you did not once manage to work in his trademark line, “I love it when a plan comes together.” Or any reference to Murdock. Which makes me sad.

In fact, by not mentioning any of the other members of the A-Team, you could just replace everywhere that you said “Hannibal” with “MacGyver”. Who I also tend to think of as a superhero.

And finally, since I seem to have a strange desire to tell you useless little facts about my life in these comments despite there being no real reason to do so, I will tell you that my brothers and I used to play pretend that we were the A-Team. My older brother, Aaron, was Hannibal, because he is the bossiest person ever, and he wanted to be in charge. I was Face, because he was cute and I never went through the “boys have cooties” stage. My younger brother Nathan (who has been taller than me since I was 13) was Murdock, because he was nuts. Not really (well, maybe a little), but bossy Hannibal and I outvoted him. My youngest brother Seth was quite a bit younger than we were, but weirdly always had an obsession with Mr. T. I distinctly remember him naming a balloon (yeah, I don’t know. We were weird kids.) “B.A.”. So he was B.A., despite being the weakest and smallest of all of us.

So yes, I had 3 brothers and no sisters. Hence the playing A-Team instead of, say, Rainbow Brite. Good times.

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil’s might
Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!
