or as i used to prononce it.. Captain Ock-a-doo (could not say Kangaroo as a kid) has died

 

[All Jacked Up]

I thought he died along time ago

 

[manana-II]

i thought so too... but Clickondetroit.com says he just died...?????

 

[Cadmonkey]

I heard he died a couple years ago too. I believe it was spread around a lot due to the Internet and denounced as a urban legend. At the time anywho. Guess the rumors caught up with him, bummer.

BTW........Mr. Green Jeans had a dancing bear fetish!!!

Yup! His real name was Bob Keeshan and, according to www.deadoraliveinfo.com, he died today at the age of 76:

I heard that there was some bizarre accident and he was buried under an avalanche of ping pong balls.
