Are “Snorfs” The New Gnomes?!

It’s no secret that we gnomes are always up on the latest and greatest trends in gnomish society on and around the interweb.  However, newly appointed gnome scout, L.N., took us by surprise us by discovering an amazing site from 3 Eyed Bear!

No, I don’t know why the bear has 3 eyes. Perhaps you should ask the bear himself/herself. I’m sure it’s a great story.

This site has instructions on how to make snorfs! What’s a snorf, you ask? According to the 3 Eyed Bear, “The Snorfs are your friendly little home-gnomes to brighten up any place.”

Sameer The Snorf

Accordingly to Urban Dictionary, “snorf” is:

  1. To speak with an overly noticeable lisp as a result of physical deformation, usually in the lips
  2. The offspring of a Smurf and a Snork.  These amphibious blue creatures measure three apples high and play the trumpet.”
  3. When you are drinking a drink (usually beer) and at the same time someone makes you laugh and your beer comes out your nose and you snorf everywhere.
  4. To shoplift a small item by hiding it up the nose.

Regardless of whatever the hell they are, everyone at The Abode has tossed aside our  shovels, stethoscopes, and frying pans for the day. Work has been cancelled for everyone!

Today has been deemed International Snorf Day and we are all super busy making paper craft snorfs. A couple of our best crafts are displayed here.

Even though most of us are pasty white, we’re excited to for an array of diverse gnomes to join our clan. No chicks though. WTF? How about a paper lady snorf or two, 3 Eyed Bear!?

Check it out! We’re building an army!

Continuing on with craft day!

Nude Paintings, Monkeys, and Metaphysical Connections

So I met this hot gnome waitress at a diner that the guys and I stopped at for brunch yesterday. I meet hottie gnomes almost every day here out on the road. Well okay fine, maybe not every day. And FINE…at least they look decent in dim bar lighting.

This gnome hottie was different though. I saw her in broad daylight and still wanted to shag her. She had tangled dirty blond hair and long red fingernails. She was clumsy as hell and a terrible waitress. The guys and I ordered extra spicy bloody marys, but before she could deliver them to us, she tripped over a table leg and the entry tray of delicious hangover cure goodness went flying across the floor.

Fortunately only McCartney got splashed. Serves him right for wearing a freaking white button down shirt to brunch. LAME.

Her name was Lola and she fell on her knees, picking up the pieces of glass and wiping up the mess. She looked like she was going to burst in tears. But god she looked good on her knees! I knelt down next to her and put my hand on her dainty gnome shoulder. I said, “Honey, why don’t you go bring us new drinks now and bring that hot little tush over to my hotel room tonight. Then we’ll be even.”

Obviously had recognized us as the hottest gnome band in the history of gnome bands and her eyes lit up with excitement. Se hustled back to the bar to put in another order for four bloody marys. Brunch was eh so-so….stale toast, cold bacon…nothing to write home about. Not that I ever write home. Don’t get me started on my mommy issues.

I wrote my cell number on a napkin as we left the diner and blew Lola a kiss from the door.

A couple hours later, Lola’s shift ended and she gave me a buzz. I told her the hotel’s address and told her to bring a nice couch and some bright lamps. She said she didn’t understand. I barked at her to just do it and hung up.

Twenty minutes later, Lola showed up with an antique red velvet lounge couch from a nearby thrift shop and two stage lights from the local theater. I gave Lola mad props for her quick thinking and follow through.

I told her that although I was an awesomely famous musician with Amish Meth Lab, I was exploring my creative side by taking up oil painting. I went on to explain that I was only interested in the art form of nude painting and that she was lucky enough to be chosen as my first subject.

Without any hesitation whatsoever, she dropped her diner uniform to the floor, flung her double-D stabilizer over a lamp, and posed seductively on the velvet couch. I flipped on the stage lights, only to reveal the gross number of stains on said couch. We decided not just to ignore those and move on.

I spent the next seven hours and forty-two minutes staring at Lola’s magnificent nakedness. I let her leave on her red gnome hat, of course. This is how my very first oil painting turned out…..WHADDYA THINK!???!?!?!

I showed the painting to Lola and she squealed that absolutely loved it! She exclaimed that somehow with my awesome painting skills, I took off at least 15 pounds.

Then she saw the monkey. She was like “WTF?”. I explained that the monkey was emerging from a time warp on the floor next to her supreme nakedness. She said she didn’t get it. I said she was dumb and that I didn’t have an answer, except that I just drew what I saw.

That’s when Lola started freaking out. She looked everywhere in the hotel room, but still didn’t see a monkey. And he didn’t see any time warp. She suddenly realized that she was stark raving naked in the presence of a legitimately insane individual. She grabbed her dress, shoved her panties in her purse, and ran out of the hotel room, barefoot, disheveled, and humiliated.

I doubt I’ll ever see that ole’ Lola again, but whatever. I know I’m not a raging lunatic and that’s all that matters. I have the evidence to prove it, goddamnit! When I awoke this morning (hungover, alone, and with terrible morning breath), I found another oil painting on the floor next to mine. But this one wasn’t mine and it wasn’t yet dry.

The monkey I saw the room with us last night must have painted this! What other explanation could there be?

But why is there a sheep in his painting? Did he see a sheep in the same way that I saw him? Do his ho’s think he’s a lunatic too? And where is this sheep, anyway?

All I know is that I need to meet this monkey. Clearly, we have some sort of metaphysical connection….which is something that ole’ Lola and I would have never had.

If you see a monkey that looks like this, please text me. Thanks guys.

Baked Baking in The Gnome Abode!

Who says gnomes can’t bake?!

I hosted a baked baking party at The Gnome Abode this past weekend and it turned out to be an overwhelming success! Leonardo brought over his finest selection of shrooms and almost every gnome in The Abode joined us. Well, with the exception of Phillip, who’s a totally tight ass.

We started out with flour, sugar, eggs, and a splash of whipped cream flavored vodka as a substitute for vanilla extract. Cowabunga surprised us all by finding cookie cutters that looked like us! Gnome-shaped cookie cutters! Who would have thought?!

While the little gnome cookies puffed up in the oven, we passed around the bottle of vodka for inspiration. There was decorating ahead of us and we needed to muster up all of the creativity that we could.

We were nice and toasted by the time the gnome cookies cooled off enough to frost them. We had just enough vodka to add to the homemade frosting mix. Horace has become quite the wonderful artist and helped us make a whole bunch of bowls of brilliant colors!

The gnome cookies were looking great….well, that is until some of the guys got a bit rowdy and started making crude jokes. I can’t exactly prove who made these, but somehow a one-eyed gnome girl cookie wearing a bikini appeared next to a well-endowed dude gnome with junk hanging out of his pants.

And then a turtle appeared. A turtle! Why? WHY?!

We ran out of vodka, we ran out of frosting, and the smoke alarm started going off because no one remembered to shut off the oven. I think we all learned some stuff from our baking day, but we have a whole lot more to learn before making Thanksgiving dinner or some shit like that.

Perhaps I’m a bit biased, but I think they’re awesome. If you agree, message me and I’ll Fed Ex you one. But you’d better act now….the gnomes around here are total Fatty McGoos and they’re disappearing like hotcakes. But they’re better than hotcakes because they’re cookies.

WAA BAMM AND FREAKING YUM,

Just another standard Saturday afternoon of hookah smoking, vodka drinking, oil painting, and Velcro ball playing with my rabbit sidekick in the park

Just another standard Saturday afternoon of hookah smoking, vodka drinking, oil painting, and Velcro ball playing with my rabbit sidekick in the park. Usually Drumsticks (yeah that’s my rabbit) and I do our own thing and totally enjoy escaping the chaos of The Gnome Abode. However, today Drumsticks and I made a few friends along the way.

I heard a “pssssstttt!” from the bushes. I took another puff and dipped by brush in the water bowl. “Pssssttt!” There it was again. I secured my wallet and phone in my back pockets just to play it safe, and cautiously walked towards the “pssssttt’ing” bush. I pushed a couple branches aside and this is what I found…

A home-brew gnome! I’ve heard of gnomes that have magical beer-making powers, but I’ve never actually met one! This dude had frothy brews, hoppy brews, fruity brews…you name it! Apparently he just signed a lease to open his own brewery in an abandoned warehouse on Porter Street.

Dude said his name was Cassius and offered me a sampler platter, to which I certainly did not deny! My favorite was definitely the Mushroom Stem Brown Ale. I can’t exactly remember why, but I know there was something good in there.

I took Cassius’ business card and rode Drumsticks away just before sunset and just before I overstayed my “we just met” welcome. I found myself wandering through the park, staring at leaves and seeing their colors like they’d never been seen before.

Since I wasn’t exactly watching where I was going, I accidently walked into a baseball game. I didn’t even know I walked into a game until a foul ball knocked Drumsticks right out from under me. I’m sure he’ll be okay. That touch ole’ bugga.

I thought theses dudes were gonna be way pissed. They looked super professional and stuff.

Much to my surprise, they stopped their game to come introduce themselves. Apparently their center fielder had suffered a chipped foot injury and they were down a man. They circled around me and began to peer-pressure me to step in to be the replacement.

Baseball is intense. the balls come fast and the gloves are made of animals, much like Drumsticks. I much prefer the slow-paced vibe of Velcro mitt ball and I wanted to bail, but I wasn’t sure how my exit strategy would go.

So I ran. And I ran. And I ran ’til I could run no more.

I’m back at The Gnome Abode somehow and the effects of Cassius’ special edition home-brew are long worn off. Maybe I’ll make some cookies.

Peace out,

Pablo The Gnome

Gnomish Attempts at Sculpting

By now, all of us gnomes have read Sheldon’s recent post about his adventures to Zion National Park and Vegas (http://www.thedrunkgnome.com/world-traveler-gnomes/sheldons-adventure-to-zion-national-park-and-las-vegas/).  Due to our jealous rage and general hatred towards him and we’ve all been protesting The Drunk Gnome site for a couple days.

Don’t think we don’t get the basic cable TV in the The Gnome Abode! Pish shaw. We watched the coverage of the NATO Summit! We know how it’s done!

Well sort of. After a couple days of hitting the GPD officers with our shovels and rakes, we received a certified letter from the Master and Goddess of All Gnomekind that our antics would not increase our opportunities for travel, but rather eliminate our opportunities all together!

What a hard ass.

As one of the most reasonable gnomes in the bunch, I had to find a way to get the guys settled down and in a more peaceful state of mind. I read Sheldon’s post again and tried to find something positive in it for the rest of us.

Then it hit me! Sculpting! The Styrofoam gnome sculptures at the Vegas art exhibit were truly magnificent. And oddly enough, those sculptures were made by a human. GASP. If a human can do that, then certainly gnomes can do that  times like eight or something.

So I sent around some fliers and hosted a sculpting class in the northeast corner of the backyard.

This is what Pablo sculpted. He says it’s an elephant, but I’m not so sure. He kept taking swigs of Delirium Tremens as he worked with the clay, so I’m pretty sure this is the product of being wasted.

Leonardo started off sculpting an emu and I commended him for his ambitious endeavor. However, this is the end result? Emu? Eww. No living thing should ever have to lay eyes on such a hideous beaked creature.

Apparently, Caesar had watched Jurassic Park recently and has been obsessed with dinosaurs ever since. He says this is a T-Rex. I can’t say that I’m remotely terrified by this prehistoric creature. Well maybe by its sheer ugliness.

As the Gnome Educator, I can’t say that I taught any of my students about sculpture, but at least they’re not hitting cops with sticks anymore.

Trying to rub those hideous sculpture images out of my eye sockets,
