A Gumby Thanksgiving



Gumby had friends and family over for Thanksgiving: Gusby and Gabby (Dad and Mom), sister Gumbelina, GEICO Gecko, Buzz Lightyear, Paula Abdul, Tiger Woods (because he unexpectedly had his holiday plans changed), and about a dozen Gumbites from Osawatomie.

Thanks were given for the food and for not being a Pukite. Then they ate.

Not unexpectedly, everyone grossly over ate with three 13-lb turkeys, seven quarts of oyster dressing, four dozen dinner rolls, one large pot of green beans, one large pot of green peas, a case of dead things from the sea (with crackers), one gallon of gravy, 45 links of smoked salami snacks, two dozen pieces of Uncle Billy's hardtack (vintage 1864 – that was an excellent year for hardtack), two gallons of cranberry stuff, two pumpkin pies, and one pie each of apple, peach, sardines, gooseberry, and rhubarb.

Luckily knowing his guests, Gumby rented a portable authentic Roman vomitorium. After dinner as he sat watching football on TV and adjusting his waist belt, Gumby was heard saying “Thank Jesus for elastic!”
