I remember seeing him at the Santa Claus Parade in Bowmanville. Man, I would have thought he passed away already awhile ago. How old was he?

 

[Gentle Ben]

Didn't he also used to have that weird-looking knit doll that came down on a string for birthdays? Both that thing & the clown were freaky-looking!

"Bimbo! Bimbo! He's the happy birthday clown.
Bimbo! Bimbo! Picks you up when you feel down!"

 

[Mr. Dajodo]

I saw he was dead on the news yesterday and thought gee I thought he was dead already.

I watched that show at lunch all the time when I was a kid.

What other characters were on that show...that bunny rabbit, that magician Ron, that cop Officer John, that weird looking dummy Sparky.

Is Commander Tom still alive?

What about that other guy from Rocket ship 7 ? Dave something I think his name was?

 

[Von Wigglestaff]

What about that other guy from Rocket ship 7 ? Dave something I think his name was?

Dave Thomas...I heard he got busted for cocaine possession.

 

[Inferno]

Dave Thomas was the guy on Rocketship 7. But what was the name of his robot sidekick?

 

[gramps]

I've never heard of him till now.

He drove a school bus I heard

When I was in University, one of the buses that took a bunch of us to Devil's Elbow was driven by Uncle Bobby. What a weird shift in context that was.
