Subject: gumby; body without organs?


i was wondering if anyone had heard of a book called 'Gumby--The Authorized
Biography of the World's Favorite Clayboy' by Louis Kaplan and Scott
Michalson.i was reading it and was surprised to find the words 'body
without organs' in the first paragraph of the first chapter, 'Gumby Playboy'

"He was once a little green slab of clay.  You should see what Gumby can do
today.  Let's see or, better yet, feel things out--touch on the tactile
This boy's famous shape: up top, his eraserhead--a lump, a bumpy bit, a top
that just won't balance.  Then a pair of mitts and two stubby stems
indented inward.  With everything gone green.  That's about it for this
body without organs.  All of which makes Gumby pretty neat, even elementary."

strange huh?

		I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane, late at night when im
driving.  Take me on board their beautiful ship, show me the world as id
love to see it.  I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe, they'd
think that i'd finally lost it completely.  I'd show them the stars and the
meaning of life.  They'd shut me away.
		But i'd be alright. i'm just up-tight.
