It’s been far too long since I’ve had any posts about gnomes. Finally — breaking news.
“Creepy gnome” terrorizes town.
A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a ‘creepy gnome’ that locals claim stalks the streets at night, The Sun reports.
The little person — who wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk — was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.
The gnome demimonde is a sinister world, I tell you.

That kinda, sorta looked like that little creep from Spawn.

Don’t they say, gnome news is good news?

The sideways gait is because gnomes are reputed to be hung like horses.

I question how in a “town in Argentina” there can exist so many “small people” that no one would know who this person might be.
Was this a bet to see if they could get themselves on the news?

I saw the video. They were screaming like little girls. I think it was fake. Must have been.
It’d sure be a good X-Files episode.

Gnomefinger fumes in his secret lair (well, OK it’s under the concrete mushroom in the back garden – but he still fumes. It is his wont.).
“Curse you, humans! we of the pointy hats and sideways walks will have the last laugh! It is written in the Book of Gnome. Our time is coming.!”
Today, South America, tomorrow… 26 Acacia Terrace. Just by the rose bushes.

Load the potato guns, troops. Gnomefinger has been flushed from hiding.

[...] Question: Who here thinks the gnome’s expedition was innocent, and who thinks he was secretly scouting locations for an all-out assault by the gnome cabal? [...]
