Mr. Rodgers was a WHAT!?

Hey Everyone,

I don't know if I'm way behind the times, or few people know this; but, the kind and loving childrens entertainer Mr. Rodgers was a NAVY SEAL! He was a light weapons and hand to hand combat specialist. Do you believe this?

They say the reason he wore those rather drab sweaters that he hung up at the beginning of each show were to cover the several tatoos he has on his upper body.

I feel kind of wierd admitting I didn't know this being that I live in the home town of Mr. Make Believe himself! Anyway, just tought I'd drop this here. I knew when I read it, I couldn't believe it. Take care everyone!

Cool I heard it too

I heard that same story, too, and I was quite surprised b/c he used to look just like the old punk...the kind who could not hurt a bug. Darn it! I was so wrong again. Never judge a sweater wearer, slow speaking punk by how he dresses. Just kidding!

That man was a well trained killa

You're right, it is discomforting to think about Mr. Rogers having sex to produce children. "Hello Neighbor."
