Every time my wife sees a Travelocity commercial she talks about how cute the gnome is. Ok, I was luke warm on the idea...decent marketing tool...helps you get into the pitch...whatever.
:-) That was UNTIL one showed up in the back today. WTF? That little guy stared at me all evening as I enjoyed a couple of cigars while grilling some corn, sausages and porterhouse steaks. I even put a little pair of sunglasses on the dude so I couldn't tell he was giving me the stare down. It didn't help. Straight up disturbing!! That's all I have to say.
Anyone else have a problem with them?
:-) If you do, keep it down so he doesn't hear.

Get some pink flamingos to hang out with him. When she complains about them, you have made your point.

The Gnomes can be very powerful beings.
In my one of the most comprehensive economic books written, The Money Game, they talk about the power the Swiss Gnomes have. You see they control the gold bullion in Switzerland thereby controlling many of the world's currencies and possibly affecting national elections and public policy in most of the Western world.
So in other worlds, treat him with respect and ask him if he has any family in Switzerland.

Be careful that it isn't a gnome with swine flu. You can never be too careful.

Garden Gnomes have been plotting world domination for many years. I have chronicled my war with the Gnomes on alt.smokers.pipes.

:-)
He still haunts me.

Lop a hole into the back of his head and use him discreetly for a backup Stinky.

I think he's trying to bewitch you. Take this Punch Cutter of Anti-Bewitchment. It gives you a +3 modifier to your save vs. spell!

Gnomes only smoke Cremosas. This is why they are so mean and dangerous.
