So I'm reading this book - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

It's okay. You can laugh. It's called "The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers."

Obviously not the stuff of scholars. Writing leaves a little to be desired. But just a really neat portrayal of a reverend who knew how to truly minister to others and demonstrate his faith without ever speaking a word of doctrine.

The kind of stuff that really convicts and inspires you to be a better person.

Fred was a good man. I figure anything that would help me to be a better person is worth a look.

any friend to kids is a friend to jesus.

You didn't like Fred Rogers? I know you don't like most things, but somebody hates Mr. Rogers?

I don't think that's what Brian is saying. I read it that he likes Mr. Rogers.

Brian is always sarcastic. So if you read he likes something, it means he hates it. Other than clowns I don't think he likes anything.

mr. rogers is totally boss.
today is not opposite day, what i say is what i mean.

now, villa allegra, that sucked. i once got excited when it came on because it looked like another kid show, but then i had no idea what anyone was saying.
i turned it off, never to return.
villa allegra
la la la la la la la la
ochos dochos.

i remember one episode of MRN, his son came on the show. i was jealous that he could go visit his dad on tv, as my dad didn't have a tv show. neither did my mom. but, my mom looks lady elaine fairchild, that is some solace. i never really noticed it, but one day when i was in high school, some friends were hanging out in the kitchen and my friend said, "your mom looks totally like lady elaine fairchild". so we called her lady elaine after that.
my advisor in grad school was named elaine, but she didn't look anything like her.

Regards,
Brian
