He looked like a Gumby suit in the beginning!

Due to the low framerate, everyone in the video runs like Gumby.

Found your Gumby for sale on Craigslist under the personal ads, casual encounters.

I read about this the other day:

http://news.yahoo.com/gumby-flexible-robot-crawls-tight-spaces-200129817.html

excerpt:

Harvard scientists have built a new type of flexible robot that is limber enough to wiggle and worm through tight spaces.

It's the latest prototype in the growing field of soft-bodied robots. Researchers are increasingly drawing inspiration from nature to create machines that are more bendable and versatile than those made of metal.

The Harvard team, led by chemist George M. Whitesides, borrowed from squids, starfish and other animals without hard skeletons to fashion a small, four-legged rubber robot that calls to mind the clay animation character Gumby.

I think the police consider the natural rigidity of the human body some form of resistance to their will, therefore they must bend you like Gumby till you cry out, just like they did to their victims back when they were the playground bullies.

How about instead of riots, the number of protesters grows to reflect the number of people screwed over by Wall Street's inventive money games.

Let's see if we can get rid of your probationary P. I loved this vid... Reminds me of...what's the guy...that one guy? You know the guy!? Oh yeah--Gumby.

Stephen Colbert: A man dressed as Gumby robbed a convenience store. Now he's in the Pokey.

I could see that being a good system. But I'm too susceptible to crap. I was a TV addict. Crappy 70s sitcoms are my crack. Get me in front of a One Day at a Time marathon and I'm frozen for the next 8 hours. Internet video is like methodone- it gives me what I need, but lets me turn it off too.>> ^deathcow:
I use a DVR and look through a week of programming on about 100 HD channels. I pick out what I like, it records it for me. There's a lot of killer crap coming off the shatellites these days. I have a yellow button that skips all the commercials in about 3 seconds.



My crack was movies on the late late late or Saturday afternoon......i would get the TV guide to see all the movies for that week, and schedule accordingly-
And UltraMan and Kung Fu Action....And Gumby and Davy and Goliath or anything claymation.....that shit used to trip me the fuck OUT! And Mutual of Omaaha's Wild Kingdom, Python and the Goodies...

You know who would rock at this game? Mr Gumby!
