I just realised that your avatar is Gumby! My brother is the biggest fan of Gumby... he loves Gumby like I love Muppets!
He had a massive highlight of his life last year... he finally got to live his dream and go to New York (we're Aussies) and he went to the New York Book Fair with my Dad (cause he's a publisher) and he was sitting there chatting to an older American guy and for some reason he got onto the subject of Gumby (he thinks it was because he was looking for special Gumby DVDs, collectables & memorabilia so it was on his mind) and he really opened up and went on and on to this guy about how much Gumby meant to him and how much Gumby was a part of his childhood & gave examples of his first memories etc... he thought the guy was a bit of a nutter at first because a tear fell down his face as my brother was talking............until of course the guy finally told him he was Art Clokey!
Anyway just had to mention it... Gumby was a big part of my childhood too cause my bro and I would watch it everyday... he just got the intense passion for Gumby...
Gumby Rulz!~!~
