My job is not so bad...

Art Clokey came to Pixar last week. He was in a wheelchair, though, so I didn't kick him in the crotch.

Didn't he invent Saran Wrap?

I hate it when the HK name drops people I don't know but probably should if I had had a decent education.

All this time, I've been trying to think up some kind of iron crotch/gumby pun. I thought I had something with Pokey, but no...

Gumby is still messed up, btw. Those colors - yikes! Tara didn't get through it and I was thankful because it was dredging up bad flashbacks. The only episode of Gumby I ever got was when Pkey ate the bad mushroom...

Benzilla LOVES Gumby. I loved him too, as a lad. No bad flashbacks for me. Yeah, the colors. Washed out. Shot on cheap film, so not much hope there. Still, I love the Blockheads. I mean, Gumby is SO punk, right? Way punker than Bow Wow Wow, anyway.

Eddie Murphy nailed Gumby. Who'd a thunk it was prophesy about the course of his career? I thought he was going somewhere with 48 hours but now it's his cartoon characters that make the most bank. Anyway, as a kid I found Gumby disturbing the same way that H.R. Puffinstuff bothered me. Now I think I just didn't care much for the aesthetic composition of it as a child.

Sid & Marty Kroft....

Yipe.

I never liked Pufnstuff. I had a lot of friends that did, but I'm reasonably certain they all became drug addicts. The only S&MK show I watched reasonably often was the Banana Splits. Although I did check out Sigmund and the Sea Monster, but only because it starred Billy Barty as the Sea Monster.

Wasn't Land of the Lost another Kroft production? That show was hideously awful, but I recall being totally hooked on it.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

OK, that's a fair cop. I enjoyed both Land of the Lost and Banana Splits too. Beware the Sleestak!
