   Not a LOL for me, maybe an Oy, but IDU the Arlo connection.

2. 

   I started with OY when this was in the paper. Arlo never occurred to me until just now. I think I’ll stick to Oy and let everyone else go with Gumby-Arlo.

   Chak – He said “balls”, heh heh heh…

   As much as I hate to say it, Bill’s headline is probably worthy of a geezer tag.

5. 

   Well, I’m a geezer and I don’t get the headline. A little help?

   Also, wouldn’t the comic have worked better if Pokey was the one looking horrified?

   Okay, I scrolled down and see there were two comics with three tags, that’s a trifecta (or maybe a hat trick?), but what’s geezerly about that?

   It’s a reference to an old SNL bit – Eddie Murphy as Gumby…who would yell ‘I’m Gumby, dammit!’

   It doesn’t describe very funny, but I’ve been unable to find the clip on the intertubes.

   Thanks, Kamino Neko and Bill. I used to watch SNL back then just enough to understand the references in conversations. Well, that and to catch Lou Marini.

    @Mike,

    But Gumby doesn’t have any… Oh, I get it.

    This news just in. Gumby has been shot.

12. 

    But Gumby’s made of clay. not gum….

    I seem to remember that occasionally Gumby would turn into a little ball. So maybe those gumballs are his sisters and brothers and cousins. Or maybe that’s where baby Gumbies come from.

    James, that was Buckwheat.

15. 

    I seem to remember that he rolled up or something when he was asleep. I couldn’t find any supporting images though.

    Buckwheat was shot DECADES ago.
