So, I’ll share a Mr. Rogers fact. Mister Rogers would narrate himself feeding the fish each episode with 'I’m feeding the fish' because of a letter he received from a young blind girl who was worried the fish were hungry.


Love this! Mr. Rogers is the reason I am chill, empathetic and a minimalist with neat closets! Hated the train part and talking puppets, that's when I'd make a pb&j sandwich.

Wow, a New York Jew. Who'd have thought they could do anything worthwhile?


Not the PP, but the character she pays, quite convincingly, is a hillbilly, so opposite of what most people think of when they think NY Jew.

Anyway, Jason Miller is originally from Scranton, PA. He wrote a play "That Championship Season", of which he won a Pulitzer.

Because of the way he treated his wife, Jackie Gleason had him blackballed in Hollywood.

He returned to Scranton, was a falling down alcoholic who was mocked by people at the bars (Farley's, for those Scrantonians reading this), until he finally passed away.

It's was really sad to see.




What did he do to his wife????


I am not sure. Womanizing? But it mustve been bad to be blacklisted.

At the time of his death he had a girlfriend. She was a lot younger than him, but she was a mess too.

It’s also their joke grunge song.


It’s a great song but do they any other popular songs?


They were huge in the UK!


Yep, I grew up (in London) with Blur and Oasis and all the other indie-pop bands of the 90s - the best! Alex James of Blur now lives in the Cotswolds and is an award-winning cheesemaker.


I want to live in the Cotswolds. One of the loveliest places I have ever visited.

Keanu Reeves’s girlfriend had a mis carriage and when they were about to get married, she died in a car accident. Since then Keanu avoids serious relationships and having kids.

He’s one of the only Hollywood stars without a Mansion. He said: "I live in a flat, I have everything that I need at anytime, why choose an empty house?"

One of his best friends died by overdose, River Phoenix. (Joaquin Phoenix’s brother)

He has been booed offstage when touring with his band, Dogstar.

The paint used on the Tin Man contained aluminum powder landing Buddy Edson in the Hospital and replaced, the Cowardly Lion’s costume was made from a real Lion’s Hide, the witch was severely burned from a failed pyrotechnic trick; Toto’s foot was broken when stepped on and can be seen limping.

Weren’t there also suicides on the set?


No, that is a myth.
