"Hey, Elspode", you ask, "what's your favorite Gumby memory?"

Glad you asked. In 1986, my wife, son and I were on a pilgrimage to Disney World. As we were stopped in the line to pay our thruway toll, I looked into my rearview mirror to see that the minipickup behind me had Gumby and his horse pal, Pokey, on his dashboard. Gumby was on all fours, and Pokey had mounted him from behind.

Ah, pop culture memories.
