About Gimpy

Everybody calls him Gimpy, that's his claim to fame
He might be a little limpy, and a wee bit lame
And even though he's pastel, this Peace is going far
'Cuz Gimpy's got a suitcase -he's a Global Beanie star!

Gimpy (gmp ee) n.: An unusual pastel Indonesian Peace Beanie bear with a rare oddity arm.

Gimpy's Mommy, well-known in distinguished Peace circles as the UNDISPUTED Indonesian Peace Bear Expert, searches the world for rare Indo peaces to add to her unfathomably vast Peace Bear collection. Amazingly, Mommy Cyndi has hit the Indo Mother Lode quite a few times, and during one extraordinarily large catch, she discovered, hidden at the bottom of the German-sent crate, a very special Indo, whom she nicknamed, Gimpy.

Thanks to Cyndi and her desire to share this rare Indo with fellow beanie lovers, you, too, can join Gimpy in his travels around the world! Get a cyber-voyeuristic thrill as you follow along and read about his exciting adventures with the fun-loving members of AtticsandBeans.

One look at Gimpy, and Cyndi realized that this multi-talented Peace oddity was destined to GO GLOBAL.

Before you begin, please read the Razorback Chris Tribute

This isn't the first time that the members of A&B sent a stuffed animal in a Priority Box around the world! Oh no! Bonnie the Attic Treasure Chicken spent most of her life traveling throughout North America and Europe. After her hectic international travels, she retired at Razorback Chris's home in Arkansas (GO HOGS).

Christine wrote the following tribute to Bonnie as she toasted our newest Global Traveler- The GIMP.....

"Hey! You know I still have the old, beloved and definitely 
pierced and tattooed Bonnie and her travel journal hiding somewhere around
here.. she was a wayward Bonnie. She loved to play hard. She got involved
with a Harley Davidson motorcycle group of dubious background. And this
little chickie decided she liked being a motorcycle mama.  Oh, how her look
and attitude changed.  She arrived at my house with a large tattoo encircling a
once lovely turned ankle. She was pierced multiple times. I wondered how she
kept her stuffing in. Her look was well worn. She had definitely been around
the block a few times. But our Bonnie still had her personality to the end.
She expired with a quiet cluck one night. A smile upon her beak remembering
all the good times she had had with all her A&B friends. So, in Bonnie's
memory, I think we owe it to her to christen a new traveler in Gimpy.  Here's
to Gimpy!!!!!!!!"

Let the traveling begin,
Razorback Chris
