Steely McBeam, Circa 1985

My esteemed blogging colleague Anthony has been absent of late, probably having either joined the CIA or is the newest guy working at Parma sausage. In either case, I need to report what he discovered in extensive research (and no doubt what consumed his recent hiatus) about the how the career of our favorite mascot began:

He moved those refrigerators and those color TVs, and now he moves the hearts of Steeler Fans everywhere.

And, evidently, he still gets his chicks for free.

Editor’s Note: This resemblance was noted by Anthony during a Blogfest and was too damn funny to just let fade. He was going used it in a blog dedicated to the origins of Steely McBeam that we cooked up at the same event. But, that died because of a number of reasons. Opps. Now I’m an idiot.
