Anybody else remember Slim Goodbody?

[LaraMN]

He scared the ever-lovin' crap out of me when I was a kid.

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. Indeed I do

he was a feature on Captain Kangaroo (I think) when I was a kid.

[tuvor]

2. Poor guy has a tumor at the end of his large intestine.

I hope he got better.

[LSK]

3. good god what the hell?

:wtf:

[LaraMN]

4. It was an educational show or segment.

I can't quite remember. I just recall singing and fear.:scared:

[TheMightyFavog]

5. He did a lot of instructional programming on health subjects for schools.

IIRC, a lot of his early stuff was produced at the production center at UW-Green Bay.

6. He scared me when I was a kid too ...

I did not like it whenever he came on the tv . I just did'nt understand why he did'nt have skin covering up his organs and he was just waaaaaaaaaay too hyper .

[PittPoliSci]

7. Hell I'm scared now.

[Omphaloskepsis]

8. *having a horrible flashback to the second grade*

I hated that guy.

[Jamastiene]

9. Right during the middle of Saturday morning cartoons, he would

come on and freak me out.

[KitchenWitch]

10. He may have been a bit after my time.

He is fucking frightening looking...as a kid, I would have had bad dreams.

[terrya]

11. I don't know if it's a GOOD body...

What am I saying? It's better than mine. :cry:

Yes, I remember Slim.

[jane_pippin]

12. Why yes, I do. I met the guy at some weird family wellness fair when I

was a kid, and when I was a little older--6th grade--he came to my school for an assembly and sang this song:

Up and Down
Here I am
Up and Down
I'm your Diaphragm

My friend and I laughed so hard that we got kicked out of the assembly. (We didn't know what a diaphragm was, but we knew it was somehow "dirty," therefore hilarious.)

[LaraMN]

20. * snort! * "I'm your diaphragm....."

You just CAN'T say shit like that around Middle School-aged kids!

[BobEPeru]

13. Well, he is slim...

I kind of resent his smug, self-satisfied smirk, though.
I'm glad I got to see this picture, because all these years I thought that Slim was played by Richard Simmons. I guess in my childish mind any hyper, befro'ed white guy = Richard Simmons.
I feel a little more wise for clicking on this thread.

[asthmaticeog]

14. When I was a kid I always confused him with Leo Sayer. n/t

[dolo amber]

15. Before I clicked on this

I was thinkin' "Yeah, I remember him...he scared the ever-lovin' crap outta me when I was a kid..."

:D :toast:

[progmom]

16. me too

:thumbsup:

[radwriter0555]

17. Where oh where is his penis?

That's just so very wrong. No wonder you're scared.

Do you need a hug?

[LaraMN]

21. I just might.

:scared:

[myrna minx]

18. Mr. Slim would sing and dance

at various school assemblies at my school. He's one of the reasons why I became a vegetarian. :scared:

[Shell Beau]

19. OMG, that is hideous!!

:o

[ucmike]

22. i thought he was a figment of my imagination

as a kid he made me uneasy, now i'm just creeped out.

for some reason i'm reminded of the scenes in "Fight Club" discussing Jack's organs ("I am Jack's Medula Oblongata")

[cedahlia]

23. creeeeeeepy, yet wildly entertaining!

I looked him up on the internet a couple years ago, and I think it said he still does appearances at schools...yikes. :D Or I could be completely wrong and thinking of someone else...

Anyway, thanks for the memory! :-)
