I have very vivid memories of Captain Kangaroo (with whom I share a birthday, yay!). I can remember getting all excited one day when he started reading a book we had on our shelves at home -- it was MAGICAL. And then, years later, I was happily cruising through a poetry-writing class at college, liking my professor and politely impressed but not awed by her published-author status, when a chance encounter in the campus bookstore clued me in to the fact that she had written my absolute favorite Captain Kangaroo read-aloud ever, and I spent the next month completely tongue-tied with awe of her.
Oz is the highest-scoring person ever to fail to graduate.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Because books.
I loved Captain Kangaroo. And Mr. GreenJeans!

Mr. GreenJeans was my favorite.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Mr. Greenjeans and the "human beans" were also my favorite.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ita, do you still have the LOM site?

Tumblr really is like crack. Go away for a few hours and you can just scroll through pretty pretty prettiness for a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's shrift.

Good lord, I'm going to eat all 11 of these little cupcakes, aren't I? Poor planning on my part, making sweet things before dinner.

Wait, you did wet men, right?

Wet men, barefoot men, all the provocateuse sites--those are me. LOM was shrift from way way back. From before I'd even met her, I think.
