Just let me put my “ass kicking” shoes on and I’ll be right with you.

If only there were a little more of that in the world today…
LOL The whole sweater thing did seem fishy, but I never really thought consciously about those things.
When I was a kid I always wondered where he was coming from that he always had to change his shoes and sweater.
Digging holes in the back yard. Notice that there was never a wife around…..
…and always looking for new neighbors…
“…Would you be mine, would you be mine, won’t you be my neighbor?”
I loved Mr. Rogers, but that’s still a funny idea.

NOOOOOO

Yeah, lolspeak aside, I completely agree. If there was ever a man least likely to say something like that it was Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers is one of those people you just don’t say negative stuff about.
I heard once that Fred Rogers was a marine sniper with confirmed kills, but I don’t think that’s true.
Yep – I looked it up. He was just a nice guy (hard to believe, but it’s true). He was the real deal.
And suddenly the lyrics to the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny are running through my head. O_o
Wow. You just made THAT reference.
that was the first thing I thought of too.
Part of the humor of this lolz is the juxposition of Mr. Rogers and the idea of him having shoes especially for @sskicking.
And I hate that I felt the need to explain that…
Agreed – it’s clever. There isn’t a less likely @sskicker in the world.
True story: somebody stole Mr. Rogers’ car not realizing who he was stealing from. When he read in the paper that it belonged to the beloved childrens show star, he returned the car that night. You gotta love a man who hardened criminals refuse to steal from.
One of my favorite stories.
Awwww, I’d never heard that before! *put on therapist jacket* Sadly enough, Mr. Rogers was probably that guy’s only good influence during his childhood. That would be like realizing you ran over your own puppy. *sobs*
He just creeps me out….
Let’s not forget that Fred himself was a very good musician. When he first started on the show “The Children’s Corner,” he not only hosted the show, but played the organ for it as well. The tradition of Fred changing his shoes at the beginning of his show started because on this particular show, Fred had to run across the studio floor to get from the puppets to the organ and back and didn’t want to make a lot of noise. Sneakers make less noise than dress shoes.
There is a rumor that Fred was a sniper in Vietnam and wore long-sleeved shirts to cover his many military tatoos. Fred was born in 1928, which would have made him too old to have served in Vietnam. In fact, Fred never served in any wars, nor was he in the military. He started in broadcasting almost as soon as he graduated from college. He wore long sleeves because he thought that dressing somewhat formally would establish himself as an adult authority figure.
Finally, there’s a picture floating around of Fred giving the finger to the television camera when asked about what he really thought about kids. The truth is, there IS a DOCTORED picture of Fred holding up his middle finger. If you search on Google long enough you’ll probably find it, but it never really happened. At the end of Fred’s career, shows were taped months in advance, and an image of Fred flipping the bird would have never made air.

sorry, seemed somehow appropriate.
I think it will ALWAYS be too soon. Like someone mentioning your own grandparent’s death, it will always be a sore subject. *except when your Grandpa is a crazy, shotgun-toting drunken long-john wearing rampage nazi soldier, like mine, but.. *ahem* where was I? I kindof always wanted him to be the one my daughter watched in the morning,instead of those Sesame Street thugs. Eh, there’s always Reading Between the Lions, they’re awesome hippy cats. How much will this session cost me, doc?
a delightful walk down nostaliga lane through a neighborhood with a haunted house and a creepy gun totin’ old man to that wolderful happy green lawn with pink flamingoes and a cheshire cat in a tree…with cookies and apple pie. priceless.
but i know what you mean – this guy was above all things bad and cruel. it’s nice to have had somethign on tv that was simply good.
and as for my grandpa’s death.. well, it’s always a bit sad, but i remember him well, kind of like mr. rogers, only add a shotgun, some cows and a big hat.
Heh. I loved Mr. Rogers growing up – hands down my favorite kids show.
But I also love this LOL. The thought something going so far that Mr. Rogers had to put on his ass-kicking shoes makes me smile. Because you know that if Mr. Rogers got so angry had to put on THOSE shoes, something really bad was going down and ass was just asking to be kicked by The Nicest Man Ever.
for about five minutes i thought he was wearing converse.
man those are the good old days
It’s all relative. If you define “kicking ass” as being the absolute very best at what you do, then Mister Rogers was indeed a real ass kicker.
I like your take on that!
