11/20/2008 | Because he was stripped of his rank and told to keep his hands out of his pockets around children.

04/25/2007 | From my sources, "Corporal Platypus" was already taken. Now...on to Mr. Green Jeans.

12/24/2006 | I dunno. Same reason that a "titmouse" isn't a tit nor a mouse, a "peanut" is neither a pea nor a nut, and though "friendly fire" certainly is "fire", but it's not "friendly" . . . .

04/04/2006 | Since Mr. Keeshan was originally Clarabell Clown, I guess becoming Captain Kangaroo was both a promotion in rank and professional standing. Note quite related to this topic, but if you get a chance to listen, Sam Kinison did a hilarious bit on Captain Kangaroo.

01/10/2005 | While it was not always so, all branches of the military are now Equal Opportunity Employers. Though not a marsupial by birth, he was still able to join the Kangaroo Navy, excel in his field and achieve the rank of Captain. And, the perks werent bad either - the Treasure House had to be one of the most cush commands ever. Still, he had those two little tricksters - Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit - to contend with. Everythings a tradeoff I suppose.

01/10/2005 | Not only that, but he wore green jeans. [[[[[ Update to GoneAway and any others who may have misunderstood. I know it was Mr. Green Jeans who wore the green jeans. I was just trying to imply tongue-in-cheek that it was HE, not Capt. Kangaroo, who was the true star of the show. (hmph....shows what a good communicator I am)

04/24/2004 | Because their first choice, Pedo Poly (Pedophile in Polyester), would have encroached on the Catholic Church.

01/17/2004 | Because if they called him what he really was, they would have lost major ratings! Also, it's a retarded show anyways, so they came up with a semi-attention grabbing title!

12/05/2003 | Calling him Sir Jacka** wouldn't appeal to kids.
