See Laura, this is exactly why I will never find love in our forum. I am the youngest one here.

It's not really an age thing, it is just that I never watched much TV in general. I did not even have cable until last year. I like books and it is hard to sit in front of a TV. And Gumby is just weird, I looked him up on Wikipedia.

Did you order my Denny's favorite?

[Janknitz]

I always favored Poky, myself

I spent my elementary school years on the island of Okinawa. There was ONE t.v. station in English, broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio and Television network (AFRT, but known in our house as FART) and it broadcast only from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. weekdays.

Saturday mornings there were cartoons and kid shows, and Gumby was one of them. I have a feeling not too many stateside kids would sit and watch Gumby when there were at least 2 other channels to watch (Yes, Jaylee, I'm THAT old!!!!). But on Okinawa, it's all we had. Or, I could turn to the Japanese language stations and watch cartoons in Japanese I had no hope of understanding (I'm totally convinced that the anime cartoons so popular today are the SAME exact ones I watched in the 60's in Japanese).

There were no commercials either, except for Ruta Lee (now who remembers her????) doing public service announcements about sending Christmas packages stateside by early October if you wanted them to reach anyone by Christmas.

Na, they were out of "Bucket Slams", all the buckets were in use so I had to settle for a "Grand Slam" .......one level down.

Ohhhh Jaylee,,, I remember Gumby waaaayyyy baaack in the 50's when I was just a little kid. We got our first tv way back then and I really didn't like the gunby show. But I remember it. Rooster, that bucket of eggs remeinds me of a time when I ordered an omlet at the Flap Jacks place in Seattle a long time ago and it was a 10 egg omlet. Holy cow! I thought it was just a name, but the omlet really was a 10 egg onlet with all the stuffings, bacon and cheese and all that and hash browns on the side. I couldn't eat it all so it took me about 3 or 4 days to eat it. Holy cow!!!! Thought I was going to turn into a chicken and start laying before long. Every one enjoy your 4rth of July, huggies, Fay

OMG!! that bucket of food is gross!! Who could eat that much?

Here is how the diet on a typical road trip goes for me:

Breakfast at Denny's - Bucket Slam



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lunch at Friendly's - Grilled Cheese Burger Melt - A large burger, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard. The "bun" is two grilled cheese sandwiches on white bread. But being a healthy eater, I opt for the whole wheat bread.



Washed down with a large chocolate shake.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dinner at KFC - Double Down Sandwich - Cheese, bacon and mayonnaise between two fried chicken breasts. My lo-carb meal: no bread.



Super sized spicy fries on the side. Chocolate chip cake for desert. A to-go bag of fried apple pie minis for a bedtime snack.
