For all you fools out there who still worship Mr. T, church is in session. In his trademark mohawk and gold chains, he delivered homilies and kicked establishment butt as B.A. (Bad Attitude) Baracus on The A-Team. Long off the air, Mr. T's tough-love persona still inspires generations of fans and tons of memorabilia. One example of this pop cultural booty is the "soft sculpture" doll, homemade following the officially licensed pattern of T created by Miss Martha Originals. Greg Rivera and Mike Essl, purveyors of the world's largest collection of Mr. T tchotchkes, present over 150 of their unique vintage dolls tonight. Pity the fool who misses it. (NH)
