Mr. T Wins, So Do Seven of My Commenters
Well, judging the Mr. T v. Chuck Norris contest proved harder than I expected-- a lot of great answers! Fortunately, Gotham sent me seven books and I will pass on the extra riches to two more of you.
The *single* best was Josh Kocurek's answer:
"This is probably one of the hardest decisions I will ever have to make in my life. I mean, on one hand, you have the mighty beard of Chuck Norris. On the other hand, you have the epic mohawk that rests upon Mr. T's dome. A-Team? Texas Ranger? Hmmm.

An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

First off, the fight would have to take place in a remote location in the Andes Mountains. This way, entire city blocks and millions of innocent people would not be sacrificed. Secondly, there would have to be some ground rules. You know, the usual...no flying, no stopping time, no laser beams from the eyes, etc.
So who would win? I would put my money on Chuck Norris do to his years of mastering the roundhouse kick. I also heard Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves."
I felt someone deserved a multimedia award since several funny Mr. T videos were submitted as evidence of his awesomeness and the fact that you can pretty much pay him to say anything. My favorite, submitted by Dred242 is below. "MAYBE MR. T KNOWS COMPUTERS!" I hope so. I'd love to start seeing him at some tech events around town! Meantime, all seven of you email me your addresses at sarah(at)sarahlacy.com to get your prize.
