Bosco “Bad Attitude” B.A. Baracus
In the years before B.A. Baracus came into our world, our lives were filled with fools who no one felt pity for, necks, fingers, and wrists that wore no gold jewelry, and heads adorned not with Mohawks, but with regular boring haircuts.
But then the A-team came along, “Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… THE A-TEAM”
The best, and most lovable from the group was B.A. Baracus.
Here are things that B.A. hated
*Flying
-The only way the A-Team could get him to fly was to take a page out of the fratboy playbook and slip him a drug in the milk that he loved drinking. Either that or hit him over the head when he wasn’t paying attention.
*Fools
-He didn’t exactly hate fools but he sure pitied them. If you were a fool and you were near B.A. I would pity you too.
*Murdock
-Okay, so maybe he didn’t really hate Murdock either but he did call him “Crazy Fool” nearly every episode.
*The Nickname Scooter
-His mom nicknamed him Scooter and he HATED it.
*Taking Orders
-”I ain’t takin no orders” was one of his favorite things to say. When he was in the military he got in trouble for teaching superior officers lessons with his fists.
Here are things that B.A. loved
*When a plan comes together
-Yeah sure, everyone loves it when a plan comes together, but when B.A. said it, you felt a certain sense of pride and accomplishment that no one else could instill in your bones.
*Building tanks and other weapons out of seemingly useless materials
-B.A. could build the hell out of scrap metal. If you were holding the A-Team hostage it had better be away from scrap yards, broken down cars, or any other type of materials because you would end up on the receiving end of a tank, machine gun, or rocket launcher that B.A. had built.
*Gold Chains
-A visual proof that B.A. was a total hard ass and strong as hell, he walked around with approximately 50lbs of gold chain on at all times.
*Milk
-He loved drinking milk
*Reading
-What? Tough guys can’t enjoy reading? Here’s proof: B.A. bookmarks.
*Helping Children
-In his spare time he volunteered at a youth center in L.A. Under that tough exterior was a man with a heart of gold.
