Fred Rogers did indeed have a fine educational program despite his latent pedaphilic demeanor and lsd induced halucinations of his "make-believe land of hand puppets". Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Mr. Roger's life was not that he was an ordained minister, but that he was not a Catholic Priest. These are just a couple of things that keep us asking the question, Who is Fred Rogers? That is why the "The Ghost of Fred Rogers" was brilliant ten years ago and brilliant today. I think that we can all agree that it is within the realm of possibility or even likely that Fred Rogers is now an evil blood-thirsty phantasm. No one can say without a shadow of a doubt that he is not. In short, the skit is a fitting tribute to a complex character. Also, Tim Curtis is ..................Julias Ceaser! (To be said in your best Richard Burton impersonation, thank you)

Pete Farmer is full of shit. It's not about Catholicism, it's about making fun of dead people. Or, to put it in another light, to make fun of people who are dead...when they're really not dead at all. That's humor. And that is why that skit was so funny, because at the time, Fred Rogers wasn't dead. But now he is, and that makes the skit dated, which is really depressing. Sure, we all make fun of Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, and the Pope because they are rattlin' the gates of heaven with a vengence, and we like to pretend they are dead...but it's funny because they aren't dead (although you'll have to show me Reagan's live body first before I'll believe it...). Puppets they might be at this point in their lives, they still fulfill a certain part of society's humor. Who will the next generation of old guys who everyone thinks are dead but still aren't be? I don't know the answer to that question...but I can say that the passing of Fred Rogers was a huge loss to not only this joke, but to thousands of others. WE'll miss that joke, believe you me. And not only that, but Fred Rogers was a good guy. You can't say that about the Pope, can you? Nope. And concerning the 9th grade video...Zack was right to commemorate it in such grand fashion. I don't care if no one else gets the jokes because they haven't seen it, or thought this entry was a load of winded tripe...that doesn't matter. The fact is that the 9th grade video was legendary, not only when it came out, but even still. It deserves any and all attention that it can get. It provided us with hours upon hours of laughing, and that's the greatest part of the whole deal. So it's been 10 years since we made that video. Shit. That's a long time. And yet it doesn't seem that long ago. I remember brainstorming skits for that video. One of my ideas was to have one of us guys riding a "horse on a stick" type thing that little kids have to emulate comboys...and the person riding it (out on the street, of course) would jump over the snow bank every time a car would come by...only he would make it obvious to the car that he was doing this...well...that skit would have sucked really bad. I'm glad we didn't do it now... So, in closing...to me, that was a good entry. A fitting one. And yes, I may be one of only three people that will willingly say that, but I don't care. B+

Bitche's, ho's, money, hustler's. Thats what Fred Rogers represented in life and thats how I'm going to remember him now that he's dead. He got more ass that a toilet seat at a mexican restaraunt. Fred Rogers may be dead but he will never be gone. Any time you want to see him you can go to Mclaughlins law firm at the stroke of midnight. It might not be the wisest decision...not if you value your SHOES! AH-HA-HA-HA-HA(Cackiling Wickedly)
