Favorite News Story of September
This was reported the week of my birthday. I consider it a birthday present from the universe. Thanks, cosmos.
from “Gumby Botches 7-Eleven Robbery”:
The man in the costume — complete with Gumby’s trademark steeply slanting head and cheerful, yellow-and-red facial features — then replied that he had a gun and began struggling with the unwieldy suit, as if trying to retrieve a concealed weapon.
Fumbling with the outfit for several moments, the bandit only managed to drop 26 cents’ worth of change, which he then was unable to retrieve from the floor.
