The Evolution of Ty Pennington

Like many of you North Carolinians out there, Bec and I enjoyed the latest episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The focus of this weeks episode was the demolition and rebuilding of a family's home in downtown Raleigh. As usual, Ty and the design gang did a fantastic job making a new home for a deserving family.

There's an interesting undercurrent to this family show, however. We're talking about the gradual evolution of Ty Pennington himself. When we first met Ty on the set of Trading Spaces, he quickly became recognizable by his propensity to never wear a shirt while doing carpentry, as seen here:



As time went by, Ty joined the cast of EM:HE as team leader and began sporting the hippy/granola hemp necklace, as seen here:



Then, we see Ty as we know him today, having graduated to a greater hippy/granola status with several more necklaces:



Due to the miracle of modern technology, forensic artists have rendered a speculative image of what Ty Pennington will look like in 20 years, assuming the same trend continues unabated.



We here in the Cooper household hope that Mr. Pennington gets the help he needs before the damage to his neck becomes irreversible.

Man Mr. T was the best. I wish he would come back with a show with just him and Murdoch riding around in the A-Team van acting all crazy, beating people up and helping little old ladies across the street, now that would be a good show!

I'd like to see Mr. T replace Ty on EM-HE. He's make such a great host, and he could help out with the Demo too.

"I pitty the fool..."

In case you didn't know, when my cell phone receives a voice-mail, I am greeted by the dulcet tones of Mr. T saying "You've got a message, fool!"
