Captain Kangaroo has died. As a Californian, Captain Kangaroo has qualified his picker, Dave Worley, into a prize -- a Bear Flag League T-shirt.
What the heck is Bear Flag League? It's a loose alliance of conservative California bloggers. Email me if you want to join. If you want your own Bear Flag League merchandise, here's the shop.
I'm glad Dave won for two reasons: 1. he's a fellow victim of the slow blogging morass and 2. who else actually knew that Captain Kangaroo was still alive?
Death brings out the random thought connections in me and since I blog, I get to force them on you. I never watched Captain Kangaroo. I was a Romper Room girl. Did anyone else catch Carson mentioning Romper Room on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy holiday reunion show?

BTW: I did know he was alive, but I had no idea he was a Californian... If you can get the T-Shirt in 3XL (AKA fat bastard size), I'd love it bunches and wear it everywhere...
