Gumby and Pokey rock and it doesn’t matter how old or young you are….you should know who Gumby and Pokey are! (Teach your children right, I say! Who needs Power Rangers and Pokemon….Minions you do need though….be sure to have lots of minions in your house!)
Gumby is the little green dude with a high pitch voice who is always off on adventures with his horse Pokey! I am not from the era of Gumby and Pokey….still much too young….I know…you thought I discovered the fountain of youth! Stop, now I am blushing….. (don’t stop…I like it! Hehehe)
Claymation is what has put basically everything we see in cartoons on the map! How exciting! Could you imagine, back in the day, when they used to have to take the clay figure, move it one inch, take a picture, move it again one inch and continue to repeat this process until you could put all the pictures together and see the figurine run! That is a lot of time, patience, dedication and clearly no social life!
At home in each of my bathrooms, you will find Gumby and Pokey figurines…(they like the bathroom…they told me so…don’t judge…) I also have a set of them in my bedroom window….I keep them around so anytime you go to use the bathroom you can bend them and put them somewhere new! Like hugging the toothpaste or hanging from the faucet, or pumping the hand soap for you! It is pretty fun to keep going to the bathroom exciting! (Yep, I know….that sounded really weird….)
I have also taken Gumby and Pokey on vacations with me! They love to travel and see the beach and drink wine and martini’s! Hey! They did their time in the spotlight….they can retire and kick back now and drink….Gumby may be bordering on an alcohol problem but we have let it slide a bit! I hope when I retire someone will take me on vacations and steer the way while I drink martinis!
Every adult should find it within themselves to discover what toy/GI Joe/Incredible Hulk/Barbie/Misfit/cabbage patch kid/transformer that they remember as a kid and keep one handy! Relive your childhood and you never grow old!
Gumby and Pokey….They are livin’ the dream I tell ya!
They ALWAYS hog the window seat! My one complaint!
