The Gumby Incident

This is mainly for Mark. Not too long after we left Chicago, Sam received a cryptic email from an anonymous source with the following text:

Subject: Your Little Green Friend (Gumby that is...)

Looks like your little green friend hasn't been as secure as you might like to think. You really think that he's untouchable? Let me tell you something about Gumby: He has no backbone. He'll say he's your friend, appear to bend over backwards for you, but the next person that comes along will manipulate him to do exactly as they desire.

Consider this a warning! Gumby could be taken again at any time! You must leave a large cash deposit of $40,000 at the corner of Clark & Addison to secure your (and Gumby's) future. Any tricky business will result in Gumby being turned into Gumbo!

You think we're joking? Check these pictures out:

Drop off your goods by the time you depart for H-town. Oh...you think we don't know a little bit about you? WE DO! MWAA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Thank you.

This looks serious. Shouldn't the wedding be postponed at least until we know whether Gumby is safe?

Umm...no. We're not quite as flexible as Gumby. Plus, I've seen Gumby on TV on Saturday Nights, and he seems like he can handle it OK.

I agree. All energies should be directed toward Gumby-retrieval. :)
