There are many people in this world. There are drug lords,
|
|
gangsters, dictators, assassins, and Spanish teachers but then you have a
|
|
man who simply goes by the name of David, or Hasslehoff, or David
|
|
Hasslehoff, or "the great and mighty Hasslehoff". Yes, my friends I speak
|
|
of "the dude" himself. I am, of course, very willing to admit that I am
|
|
not even remotely a fan of Baywatch. ((I do like the theme song... it's
|
|
what helps me get through this life.)) I have only seen an average of 7
|
|
episodes in my life. I don't even know if the show is still in
|
|
continuation. I simply recall that when I was around 10 Baywatch served as
|
|
an exciting alternative to the news. (Isn't that sad?) Of course now a
|
|
days I am too busy eating girl scout cookies and watching old episodes of
|
|
COPS. (Another exciting, inspirational theme song.) Despite the fact that
|
|
I am no longer a fan of the all too dramatic Baywatch series I still watch
|
|
old tapes of Knight Rider.
|
|
|
|
Do you remember Knight Rider? Did you not love Knight Rider. I
|
|
mean, here's this guy driving around talking to his car, solving crime. He
|
|
is the man. If there is only one man... the man is David Hasslehoff. And
|
|
the car's name was Kit!!! How much more awesome could you get? He was a
|
|
role model. He was a role model, and he knew a little bit of karate.
|
|
David Hasslehoff was my role model. My brother and I used to play Knight
|
|
Rider. We used to run around the house fighting crime... and then we would
|
|
go outside and talk to the car. It never talked back, but those were crazy
|
|
times. Sometimes at night if I am driving on a country road that is
|
|
somewhat empty... I turn my brights on and drive real fast and hum the
|
|
Knight rider song in my head. (You know which one that is and you are
|
|
probably humming it to yourself right now. It's okay... you can admit it.)
|
|
Now, I suppose I am not really going places with this. Perhaps it merely
|
|
sums up the dreams of one girl, one sad, tired girl. Maybe, just maybe,
|
|
you have a little piece of yourself that admired Hasslehoff. Perhaps you
|
|
were a Buck Rodgers fan, or a Chuck Norris kind of kid. You may have been
|
|
a Simon and Simon fan or maybe you were simply a Mr.T groupie. Whoever
|
|
your idols were... wherever your idols are, be it sex-crazed beach shows,
|
|
Texas Ranger shows, or milk commercials... reclaim them. Stand up and say
|
|
"Hey, I knew who Mr. T was and gosh darn it he was great." (You could
|
|
even throw in a quote: I pity da' fool.) For, if we do not have our action
|
|
heroes from Situation T.V.... who do we have?
