I *heart* Mr. Rogers. My mom says that when I was a tyke, and Mr. Rogers time came, I immediately ran for the televisiona nd sta rapt till shows end. Any gentless in my personality, I probably learned from Fred Rogers and from Charles Schultz. Oddly, both of these men are combat veterans if I recall correctly.
Plus he's the only man alive who can truly rock a cardigan.

Posted by: dejah420 on December 23, 2002 01:09 PMGoddamn Mr. Rogers looks old. And he looked old twenty years ago, back when I used to watch him, and possibly twenty years before that. Actually, I was fairly surprised to learn last year that he was going off the air, since I had assumed since my teens that they were just playing reruns.
But that's neither here nor there.

That would be neither here, but it would be there, and that's good enough for me.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time...

Posted by: kafkaesque on December 23, 2002 04:51 PMDad, why do you always have to bring up Woodstock? Jesus! We know you were there, we know Jimi Hendrix spit on you and guess what? We don't give a shit.
