My neighbour has 2 gnomes taking a nap.
One in a hammock and the other in a lawn chair.
The one I mentioned upthread (36" tall) was actually left by the ex-owners of the house. It’s made of concrete and must weigh a bloody ton, which is possibly why they left it behind.
My guess is: Because they left that bugger behind this triggered a sort of hive mentality in my new neighbour which prompted him to start adding more and more and more fucking gnomes
Maybe he’s addicted to Poe? He’s trying hide the mutant garden gnome with the growth disorder by camouflaging him amongst all the other gnomes.
I don’t think they’re jack boots, surely they’re Wellies?
Has Neighbor given them names yet? That’s when I’d worry…
Apart from mummy and daddy Christmas the only one with a name is the 36" rascal.
He’s called “Oscar” but my neighbour didn’t name him, the name was already on a small brass plate at the foot of said rascal.
They are definitely jackboots, wellies are usually turned over at the top.
I’ve had a closer look but can’t find any swastika armbands
Perhaps you should add some!
Now that is a bloody good idea.
Maybe some tiny Iron Crosses huh?
That’s just got to be some kind of pet memorial…what does “Oscar” look like (besides the jackboots)?
Ooh! Can you find some toy pointy helmets and put them on the gnaziomes?
I also think you need a smallish Snow White figurine. Place her lying down and group gnomes around her. It will add an interesting subtext to the 3rd Reich theme.
I hope that now when you look out the window, you see potential creativity and not just tacky as shit stuff.
Also, can you take pics and post them of said gnomes? That would help me with my tableaux.
He’s dressed as gnomes usually dress, red, green and black attire and he’s leaning on a shovel while smoking a pipe
Lazy bastard
He’s work to rule, obviously…
Or on strike as per the norm for British workgnomes
It is to laugh. You Limeys have the quaintest “strikes”. One line of the Tube will stop or slow down for about 3 hours and everyone is up in arms.
Can you tip Oscar over (sort of like cow tipping?).
I told you, he’s 36" tall and weighs a ton, plus I strongly suspect he’s cemented into the middle of my neighbours lawn.
There is a block of stone about 18" square on which Oscar stands, master of all he surveys
Ah, the plinth of dorkness.
I think we’re heading into gnome-mans land with some of these puns.
It’s a bad hobbit, that’s fer sure.
Well of course we have to share, didn’t your mother tell you not to be elfish?
I know it’s not fairy nice to be elfish
Fae shame, SmartAleq, fae shame.
Something or someone is buried under that. No one puts that much effort into a gnome statue unless it’s covering up a heinous crime. Show him gnome mercy and his legal troubles will dwarf his yard art proclivities.
Gnome good will come of it.
