I pity the fool who don't play with finger puppets

This, my friends, is what Mr. T as B.A. ("Bad Attitude") Baracus looks like in finger puppet form.

It was made by a nutter in Scotland, who designs under the name "dingdongdesigns," oddly enough. You can get yours (and other cute things) at Etsy. Not sure if any of those finger puppet table retailers around the city have Mr. T - I know I've never seen one.

While researching this post (yeah that's right, I'm researching Mr. T...what, like you have better things to do at your job today?), I found that Mr. T also pities the fool who wears too much bling. Yep, T stopped wearing his gold chains after helping Katrina victims and seeing how the people down there were living. "I felt it would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again," he says. Take that, Mary J. Blige.

T's also got a new show coming up on TV Land called I Pity the Fool, where he travels around helping people who are in need of a little Mr. T-style life coaching. God bless ya, Mr. T. I would like to suggest that you start with Lindsay Lohan.

Coincidentally, even before I stumbled upon the Mr. T finger puppet (while doing research for my Hellaween costume), I was already on a big A-Team kick. I don't know what set it off. I'm hoping that four of our dude friends will be the A-Team for Hellaween (you gotta get on that before the movie comes out and ruins all that was good and true about the A-Team). That's B.A., Hannibal, Murdock and Face, for those who are counting. P.S. these A-Team quotes rule.
