Name my garden gnome!
My best friend is arriving this Wednesday from the US. We have a tradition of giving each other gag gifts. So far, he has me beat with a life sized Chuckie doll wearing a neck brace. I'm hoping to best him this year with a garden gnome I'm going to make him take around to the various places we visit while he is here, including Austria and Italy....so please use your imaginations and NAME MY GARDEN GNOME. The most ridiculous will win.

17. Go look up garden Gnomes on Amazon.com
Not only do they have the flasher gnome, they have the fornicating gnomes as well. Only in Europe kids, only in Europe.

my friend's not the gnome's. My dad used to call Caleb Twinkle Toes behind his back. Touchy subject.

59. How about Gnome Chompsky?
I know someone who claims to have a weird visualization every time she hears Noam Chomsky's name. She visualizes this gnome ("Gnome Chompsky") with huge friggin teeth running around and making huge bite marks in trees! :shrug: (I'm not making this up! }( )

41. Did you hear the story about the Nome from Southern Ontario? Someone stole
a nome from somebody's house. They started to get postcards with picutures on the nome visiting places like Cuba etc. Then the people who stole it returned in to the owners. Perhaps it was a urban myth but I laughed when I heard the story.

44. I've heard of similar stories
We're going to Italy and Austria with the gnome for some fun pictures. I hope the people of Verona don't get pissed at us for posing the Gnome in front of Juliet's (of Romeo and Juliet) statue.

54. I've never heard a single yodel in Bavaria
in all the time I've lived here. That kind of activity takes place over there where Heidi and CMW live. You know, where the guys all stand around on the Alps blowing into long tubes and yelling Ricola into the crisp air.
Here, we just get trashed on Kirschwasser.

Now why the fuck didn't you point out those hopping lederhosen before now? Might have beaten a garden gnome named Gnome Chomsky who looks like a fucking dwarf from Snow White!

I also never heard a single yodel nor an Alphorn, but then, I'm not living in the alps, either, so things might be different there. ;)

58. First of all, my neighbors are suing you for invading their privacy
and recording their festive ramp up to Oktoberfest where they all wear the thong lederhosen. What a perv!

Second of all, Heidi has already sent me photographic proof that you are part of the secret society of Alpine Yodelers and you take Fjord with you for reinforcement and just to be a roustabout.

60. We prefer the term 'Code Singers,'
and it's to get the message across to other members of our secret society, where I'm a XII° A.°.A, Outer Yodeler of the Order, Schuhplattler Superior. But don't tell anyone. Fjord's just there to distract.

Thong Lederhosen! There's nothing pervy about it. It's a local tradition. :P
