Sometimes the conversations at work don't end the way you expect...

I was talking to one of the programmers today and somehow we started talking about BitTorrent and downloading and etc. He mentioned that he was all about Bob Ross (the mellow guy with the fro and the beard who was always painting cool shit on PBS) and was trying to find and download every episode

That's how he found the happy little mountains, back there.

Rumor. Bob Ross had a military career, but the Air Force didn't have snipers. He never talked about it much--apparently people had to make up their own stories to fill in the gaps...

I can't find a specific cite, but the same rumor was floating around about Fred Rogers being an accomplished sniper, and somebody else has been pushing the rumor that Bob Ross died of a massive heroin overdose.

Somehow, people don't believe in happy, peaceful people with media time.

peace,
