Happy Birthday Zack


Happy Birthday to Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who turns 36 today. Mark is best known for his portrayal of a lawyer in TNT's original series, "Raising The Bar".

OK, that's absolutely false, because during the 90's Mark played Bayside High's most popular student, Zack Morris.  Zack Morris was everyone's favorite role model growing up.  Lets look at the facts.  Zack had a cell phone the size of an average man's New Balance sneaker.  He scored a 1502 on his SATs and is easily Stansbury material (sorry Jesse). He was the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated band "Zack Attack".  He was the star of the glee club and was able to come up with a really kick-ass school song.  He could date the captain of the Cheerleading team one minute and then the next be dating a leather-jacket wearing motorcycle chick.  He could put together a surprise birthday party in under 30 seconds and in the Principal's office, nonetheless.  He could get the cheapest class rings around, and when he gets scammed, he makes Gem Diamond crap his pants and give Bayside the highest quality rings.  He can hook up with his boss's daughter Stacey, become a volleyball star and can also ride an ATV. He knows that there's "No Hope With Dope", and reveals Johnny Dakota as the lowlife he really is. He can dance with another girl to "A-12" in the Max to show Kelly that Jeff will never compare to Zack Morris.

I can go on forever, but I think you all get the point.  Who knows where we'd be if not for Mark-Paul Gosselaar.  When I'm faced with a tough decision, I always ask myself WWZMD: What Would Zack Morris Do?   (Most of the time, this results in me attempting to perform a "Time Out", but it has yet to work)
