All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

gumby always creeped me out
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Did he create "Davey & Goliath?" I remember every Sunday morning, they'd show "Davey & Goliath," then "Gumby" right after. This was early in the morning, before church.

He sure did.

There's a documentary of his life that shows up on IFN that's very informative.

Apparently he was more zen than Judeo-Christian.

Well, now he's dead. So you only have to worry about his rotting corpse climbing out from under your bed, or crawling out of your closet tonight.

Sleep tight!
