Topic awaiting preservation: Farewell Captain Kangaroo

First Fred Rogers, now Cpt. Kangaroo? Oh, man. RIP, Bob.

What was the word/phrase he used to say that would make it rain ping pong balls?

i don't remember what the phrase was that would make it rain balls...but i do remember it was usually when he was talking to the moose hehe

Wow. There's some data in my head that hasn't been read for a while. What was his helpers name.. Mr. Green Jeans I think. The moose was Mr. Moose. And there was a magic drawing board..

What a bummer. Everybody has to go sometime I suppose.

I thought the magic drawing board was Picture Pages with Bill Cosby.

I just did a search to be sure Wes, there are references to it all over. There is also a refernce to Cosby with his "picture pages and magic pen". I don't know about you, but I must have been like ten.. it's been a while. I can't recall BC having anything to do with that show but apparently he did. I remember Fat Albert though! Hey hey hey!

A funny link with lots of references to stuff.That link is probably in bad taste but I found it amusing so I'm posting it anyway. If you'll be offended by CK being involved in a little imaginary violence and a first rate bs session don't click.
