He's HERE !!!

The Gnome arrived!
(for those new to the land of Spo, see entry 8/24/06)
Apparently he was held up at the Canadian border, as his passport was suspect.
(It was over 100 years old)
Survey time! Where should he be placed?
A) Front Yard (for all to see)
B) Back Yard (out of sight)
C) Poolside (but see entry 8/28/06)
D) At the bottom of the pool (Someone does not find this option funny)
E) "Other" (you think of something)

Bonus Contest!!
Name the Gnome!
The winner gets a year supply of Valium.

I'm going with the front yard. And, oooh... a years supply of Valium, you say?!? I'm working on that one.

I think the bottom of the pool is a good idea. It sounds like it is some they would have done in Salem, MA, a few hundred years ago. If it sinks and **stays down**, it is a good gnome. If it floats, it is bedeveled!

Name? Sine nomine. ***grin***

He belongs in the front yard, complete with his own spotlight and he should be called, "Pink Flamingo."

Name him Haugle after that short dude in Labrinyth. (Did I spell that right?) And right by the bed is his new home. Just to be silly.
Good Day M!

Location - bottom of pool, but then that may scare guest who come to skinny-dip - so back yard out of sight comes to mind...

Name - Stumpy...

I say Froh should be near the pool and sporting some real cool shades!

Although I do like the bottom of the pool idea though.

His passport should be suspect, as usual he had a fake. As a Canadian I've seen his picture on many post office walls. His street name is Breezy. The flowers he carries are a cover.(Obviously, look at his face).
Backyard definitely, unless you want the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on your door.

P.S. I love gnomes, I just got one called the storyteller. Very cool dude. :)

I don't mean to frighten you but I forgot to mention Breezy's criminal activity. He's one of Hell's Angels elite branch, "The Nomads". He's their main man.

While bottom of the pool is very funny, he's too cute to be sunk!

I think he's adorable, and while my heart says the front yard for all to see, my head says poolside so that he'll be safe from gnome nappers (unless, of course, you want him to be kidnapped), because bears like nothing more than a good pool party!

And for some ungodly reason, my brain keeps firing out "Butch" everytime I look at him, what's that about?

I'm thinking he should be placed on your kitchen counter...perhaps people will mistaken him for a cookie jar (at least there would be a good excuse for you to have something like this around), and his name should be KEEBLER :)

...and if I win, you can keep the Valium...I will; however, take a trip to PARIS in it's place :)

Bunkpest...and at the foot of your bed...Go to http://nine.frenchboys.net/gnome.php they have a gnome name generator.
Don't ask how I know that!!!!

Name - Woody, location by the pool. Be careful in the front yard so someone doesn't take him and then send you pics of him traveling around the globe. Although that could be interesting. On second thought.....

I don't think he'll last long in the front yard so for the safety of Mr. Gnome put him by the pool. He'll have more friends to keep him company there.

He looks like Santa on his day job. lol

Either he's selling flowers, or it's a cover and he's really a pusher. lol

I'd put him in the backyard among plants and flowers, if you have a deer but them close.

I'd call him Rodney, Rod for short. Get it? Short!? lol

This is "Gnome-e Malone" from the rancid hit "SHOWGIRLS". Be sure and put a spot light on him.

Back yard for safety. I agree. And his name: Lavender Leprechaun.

Blogger DEREK said...

back yard, so no one will take him. Hmm he looks like a Villy Vand Valium

He belongs in an alcove by the front door, with slightly spooky backlighting. If, without damaging him, you could fix it so the door bell is in his bellybutton, that would be perfect.

You should place him in the backyard surrounded by rose bushes and name him Alf (short for Alfie)... email me for the mailing address for the valium...

I vote backyard. I'm not sure why, but his name is Frankie Fleur.


p.s. Gnomes scare me.

His name should be either Smirking Leprosy, in which case you should set him deep in the foliage in the way-back, or Free To Good Home, in which case he should go out by the curb with his name on a sign hanging around his neck. What the funk was Someone thinking?
