AB (10:14 p.m.) - Well, it's another Thursday and "Are you afraid of Gumby?" needs to be written. While the big boy editors do their editorials and columns (which are actually women,) I am left with the hard work - writing this amazing entertainment article without assistance. I am flying solo ... at least for a little bit.

AB (10:15 p.m.) - Once again, I am amazed that Gumby was ever on television. I mean really, what is this guy doing? One minute he's in a classroom and the next minute, he's in ancient South America with the Mayans. He also has a woolly mammoth as a friend! What! How? What drug were the creators on?



AB (10:17 p.m.) - Now they think that Gumby is their Mayan god! Wow. I wish that this had never been on television. The crime rate in every city would be down by 3 percent. I can't deal with this anymore. But, I do like woolly mammoths and they remind me of dinosaurs. Let's take a look around for dinosaur movies.



AB (10:22 p.m.) - Remember the show "Dinosaurs?" Well, I do. It was a great show, and look here it is the first thing to pop up. In one clip we see Baby Sinclair saying "Daddy" for the first time, but then, much to everyone's chagrin, he says "Not the Momma." If I was the father dinosaur at this point, after being disrespected like that, I'd eat him. I mean, come on, you have to teach him a lesson. Besides, dinosaurs were all over the place. It's not like he and the wife couldn't have had another baby. But this time, he'd call Earl "Daddy" like any other normal dinosaur.



BM (10:36 p.m.) - "I'm the baby, gotta' love me!" Who doesn't remember that episode of "Dinosaurs?" My favorite part of his DTV video is when Baby Sinclair is speeding past a half mile of graffiti because it reminds me of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. There's actually a version of the opening credits for that show in Italian on YouTube. But anyway, I'm being distracted by Will and Carlton trying to swing dance to "Jump On It."



AB (10:43 p.m.) - "Jump On It" always reminds me of another standard of rap, "Baby Got Back." If you haven't seen this music video, it means you haven't seen Sir Mix-A-Lot dancing on a giant butt. I am serious. It's amazing ... and inappropriate, so if you're looking for a Youtube video that you want to watch with Mom while she's quilting, don't watch this video.



BM (10:49 p.m.) - Not everyone's mom quilts like your mom does, Blais. Maybe my mom WOULD enjoy four minutes and 21 seconds of phat beats and big butts. Probably not, but you shouldn't assume either way.



AB (12:04 a.m.) - Sorry all for this late response, I was editing as fast as my eyes would allow. So anyway, my mom does not quilt. I was being facetious. That's a big word for funny. Anyway, I am going to wrap this up with a small, final video. Let me see... what should I do? What should I type in?



BM (12:54 a.m.) - Blais won't stop singing the Fraggle Rock song. I think that's actually our cue to exit the stage. Or at least it's my cue because I really can't stand that song anymore. Until next time.
