Today is the day when we all drink Schlitz. Today is Joe Don Baker's birthday.

Joe Don as Buford Pusser, his most famous role.

Joe Don as Mitchell, his most infamous role.
More pix from Mitchell in the extended entry, and more Joe Don blogging at the Deadpool when I get it ready.

Our first impression of Mitchell. He's passed out in the back of a patrol car.

Just another Saturday night, and he ain't go no-bo-ody...

...Until Greta comes along. BTW, they both have just one name through the entire movie. I still don't know if Mitchell is a first name or a last name.

This is both the highlight and the lowlight of their careers.
I'd write more, only I realized there's really not anything I can add to my last two Joe Don Baker retrospectives:
2005 and wrapup
2004
Review of Mitchell at The Agony Booth.
Happy Birthday, Joe Don, and I'm sorry I put you on my deadpool rosters.
