Just a random thought...

Was anyone else ever grossed out by the name of Mr. Green Jeans? The images it brought to my little girl mind were never pretty.

I thought that was weird too Molly, but I couldn't get around why they called the guy Cap'n Kangaroo. Always thought he would jump you, or on you or whatever kangaroos do.

It does make you wonder if he ever washed those jeans. Ew!

The idea of knowing what a Farmer's Hankie is and the fact he has Green Jeans, makes me grossed out big time.

It wasn't until years later that I realized those were two separate words. I thought it was Mr. "something kinda odd that didn't sound like a real last name". It wasn't until I came across it in print that everything clicked.

Just had another thought. Why did Trolley always tinkle? (sorry, jumping to different show). Did anyone else find that odd?

I dunno. Incontinence? Enlarged prostate?

Yeah. Why did it tinkle? And why would Fred have it in his house? And those cardigans, what's up with those things. We had a wacko we loved up here in Canada named Mr Dress-up. You want some weird plot bunnies, check that guy out. Or Uncle Bobby with Bimbo the Birthday Clown. There's another one that smacked of twisted.

Did he have a brother named Mr. Cross-Dress-up?

Those were to cover up his Marine Corps tattoos.

No kidding Tom, the guy would dress up in all kinds of weird outfits and do roleplay with a couple of puppets. He dressed like a woman and anything he imagined. Way out there.

No more than Capt Kangaroo or Grandfather clock.....
My green jeans are blue.......consider that

No, I didn't have any problem with Mr Green Jeans, but Uncle Phlegm Jacket was a bit much.

Well, that just ruined my morning eggs.
