Friday Mayhem

Because I enjoy the company of guys over most girls who talk about their boyfriends, make-ups, and how their dresses didn’t fit anymore.

“Nindot gyud ang mga laki nga barkada. Sige ra’g inom, sige ra’g joke ug katawa. Wa’y manlibak, wa’y negative energy, no bullsh*ts”

-Permanent roommate attesting how I love being with guy friends

Oh, by the way, It was Missing Filemon’s double gig on a Friday.

Yes, they still play — good, intoxicated, and wild.

Kids from previous generations would vividly remember Gumby, a clay humanoid character that ruled household entertainment for 35 years. And today, October 12, marks Gumby’s creator and stop motion animation pioneer Arthur “Art” Clokey‘s would have been 90th birthday.

Born in Detroit, young Arthur was adopted by musician Joseph Clokey, who then sent him to study drawing, painting, and film making. The early exposure to arts and his childhood hobby of playing with clay and mud mixture called “gumbo” paved the way to naming his most famous character, Gumby.

Art’s student film Gumbasia (1955), a homage to Disney’s Fantasia, that featured animated clay shapes caught the attention of prominent producer Samuel G. Engel who then financed Art Clokey’s The Gumby Show. The show ran from November 12, 1955 to December 30, 1989

At 88, Clokey died in his sleep on January 8, 2010, after suffering from a regular bladder infection.
