One of the fist things I ever got as a kid was a Captian Kangaroo doll. It was more like a cartoon 'stuffed animal' version of the Captain and it talked when you pulled the string. One of the things it said was 'my pockets can hold all kinds of things'. Hmmm...gotta laff at that as an adult. Funny thing is...I still have the doll 30 some years later! It doesn't talk anymore and its kinda worn out, but it's still here. I watched that show all the time when I was a kid. Looking back alot of the stuff on that show was totally surreal. Dancing Bear, Magic Drawing Board, The Town Clown, and those frog puppets, I forget what their names were, but they were SO weird.

Wonder where Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit are these days. Retired in Florida? Yeah, I though I saw them at the bar at Mai Kai making some noise.

In honor of the Captian I will drop a hundred ping pong balls out my window tonight on some unsuspecting pedestrians below.
