Go to this site: [www.germangiftshop.de](http://www.germangiftshop.de) and check out their gnome selection. In the “Fun Set”, there is a gnome giving the finger! Look at the look on its face! Priceless. Well, no- it can be yours for only $109, shipping included. Christ, if I had $100 to blow, this is exactly what I’d be buying. 😃

He looks so jolly. Too bad it’s German: It would look absolutely perfect in front of a good Irish bar on St. Patty’s Day!

Od Gods, I’m in love–and I hate garden gnomes! But I would have this in my garden. Good find, **ratty**.

What’s the gnome in front doing? The best we can come up with is that he is adjusting, or playing pocket pool.
