Mr. Rogers Talking Keychain

Fred Rogers may be gone from PBS' airwaves but that doesn't mean you can't hear his soothing voice anytime you want to.

For only $10, 80stees.com will sell you a Mr. Rogers Talking Keychain. Press a button and hear Fred ask you to (please) be his neighbor, tell you that it is, in fact, a beautiful day in the neighborhood (and a neighborly day for a beauty), and also that he likes you just the way you are. There are a total of six sounds and you can hear them all on the site. If you want to really have some fun, you can press all six buttons at once and pretend you're having an acid flashback.

They also have a selection of Rogers-themed t-shirts, but they don't talk. (Unless you really are having an acid flashback.) I haven't actually seen one of these in person so I don't know about the quality but at least the price isn't too steep.

I've made no secret of the fact that I loved "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" when I was growing up. Even so, nothing is sacred, and funny is funny.

Case in point: this clip from Jimmy Kimmel's late night show. I guess he has a regular segment called "Unnecessary Censorship" where he bleeps words that don't need to be bleeped. So check this out, neighbor.
