north american bigfoot center

so do you believe in bigfoot? ~

we recently took a rainy day drive to visit the new north american bigfoot center nearby ~

the town of boring oregon just got a little less boring ~

so my first impression of mr dad upon first glance was that he was a sasquatch of some kind ~

he's definitely gigantopithecus ~

so i married outside of my species ~

but he's fully domesticated ~

up here in the pacific northwest bigfoot is a kind of local celebrity ~

we spotted him once on one of our hikes (bigfoot hunting) ~

the north american bigfoot center is only a gift shop right now ~

but will soon be a full museum ~

we stocked up on bigfoot goodies ~

for the car ~

we were assured that the bigfoot air freshener does not smell like bigfoot ~

gumby kubrick figures

check out these fun new additions to gumbyland ~

gumby's girlfriend, tara ~

professor kapp & fatbuckle, from gumby's band, the clayboys ~

& my favorite, gumby's parents :) ~

i don't normally collect kubricks, but these are very cool ~

prema marks ~

now i'll have to keep an eye out for the other remaining figures ~

i picked all these up on ebay & included in the lot was this loose bendy version of fatbuckle too ~

i love that he has toes & hair! ~

this crunchy old foam gumby was also included ~

made by lewco from 1984, i didn't have this one up at gumbyland yet, so this lot was a real nice score (thanks jeff!!) ~

well, i'm off to the friends of the library sale downtown now, will post about my finds tomorrow ~
