"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I worked at WGBH in Boston when I first moved there in the early 80s, and I got to read their station history.

There was a great story about Mr. Rogers making a visit to the studio in Boston (his show was shot in Pittsburgh) in the mid seventies, and they were COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by the response. It was like little kid Beatlemania when he came out to meet his Boston fans.

There was a whole episode of the tv show Maude about how her husband liked to watch Mr. Rogers because he was so calming and decent.

Also my college roommate (Chip) grew up in Pittsburgh and went to school with Fred Rogers' son and got to meet him several times and said, "Yup, that's what he was like." Later after college Chip was running an educational foundation and did a lot of events with Mr. Rogers and affirmed that he was just one of the most genuinely nice people he'd ever met.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's a charming story, Suela.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Night two of downtown being taken over by the biker rally.

Would seven people having their hearts cut out really be such a price to pay for sweet, sweet silence?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I forgot to call back sarameg at 12:30 like I said I would. Bad friend.

Today is the first anniversary of my Uncle Tony's death. I may be slightly drunk. This year has sucked. Sorry to continue inflicting my drama on you good people.

No apology, maria! You are supposed to share with those who love you. The good and the bad.

An given how hard it is to type this even with autocorrect, I might be a bit tipsy too.

I'll only forgive you when you come drinking with us.

No, maria is not a bad friend. She's a good friend who I hope was enjoying the peoples. SO THERE.
