Gnomes and Animals: A Research Study

 

There have been a great number of recent gnome posts regarding gnomes’ relationships with animals. One of our gnomes recently met a dog and another became enraged by the torment of a cat depicted in a cartoon.

As The Gnome Abode’s animal rights specialist, I feel the need to step in and say a few words.

Actually, screw words. I have pictures!

I enlisted my new buddy, Dumblebore, to assist me with important animal research. His job was to stand next to animals to see how they would react and my job was to jot down notes about each encounter.

Bird encounter: stealthy and strangely seductive. While hardly a ladies’ man, Dumblebore walked away from this encounter with a phone number.

Elephant encounter: smelly and the ground won’t stop shaking. Dumblebore had the unfortunate time of visiting these massive creatures during breeding season. Neither of us will ever be the same again….

Zebra encounter: dizzying and wasted. As a well-known drunkard, Dumblebore experienced a high unlike any high he had ever had before. Zebras know how to party and don’t let anyone tell you differently.

White tiger encounter: absolutely terrifying. Due to Dumblebore falling into a state of shock, we had to cut the research study short at this point in time. No matter how many times I tried to explain that their was a pane of glass between him and the tiger, he just didn’t get it.

And that, kids, is today’s lesson about gnomes and animals. Happy Friday!

A sales pitch for gnome balloons

 

Balloons aren’t just for birthdays or hot air rides anymore! We have discovered that GNOME BALLOONS exist and we have since adopted dozens of them here at The Gnome Abode.

Gnome balloons make great therapists. Just lie down on the couch and tell him your problems. He’s not going anywhere. Unless he’s filled with helium. And in that case, you’d better make sure he’s tied down so you get your money’s worth. Therapy ain’t cheap, people.

photoGnome balloons make great secretaries! Hate answering the phone and dealing with people? Awful at organizing your own schedule? Gnome balloons will get all your ducks in a row and all you i’s dotted. And if you ask really nicely, your gnome may be willing to dot your i’s with hearts or smiley faces.

Gnome balloons are always full of surprises! Whether it’s a nicely wrapped gift or a roll of toilet paper, you can be sure that each day with your gnome balloon will be different than the last.

Life Rocks When Wearing Gnome Socks

 

Feeling a little blah in the midst of this holiday season? Don’t fret, mild to moderate depression affects even the most stable of us gnomes from time to time.

Some gnomes are affected by the monotony of tradition, the memories of loss, the regrets of what could have been, or the emptiness of superficial facades. Other gnomes are affected by loneliness that only the holiday season can bring, the let-down after a stressful build up of preparations, and a general lack of sense of purpose.

Although the practice I run specializes in Chinese medicine, I am also highly skilled in counselling the mental health of gnomes. However, I’m on vacation this week, so you’re all on your own.

Now now….before you start accusing me of being a walking contradiction and a hypocrite, hear me out.

While you may struggle with the holidays, I personally enjoy them. And I need a flippin’ vacation. I spend long hours taking care of all you freak shows and there’s no one around to take care of me. Good thing I can take care of myself. And you should learn how to also.

In the meantime, I will leave you with one piece of FREE medical advice.

WEAR GNOME SOCKS.

I’m serious. Things can be going to shit, but then you look down and litte gnomes are climbing all over your feet. They’re really therapeutic, actually.

My personal favorites can be found at Sock It To Me. Nine bucks is a small price to pay for mental stability. What have you got to lose? Don’t answer that. I already know the answer. You’ve already pretty much lost everything worth living for.

So I’ll be back in the office on January 7th and you can make an appointment with my assistant at that time if the socks don’t cut it. But since January 7th is a long time away, I really do suggest you try the socks first.

May the power of socks be with you,
Dr. A. Chu, MD, The Gnome

EvanGelical Discovers Gnomish Lord and Savior

 

I have seen the light!

This image appeared to me in a magnificent dream I had last night after passing out from a rum binge. The enormous glowing gnome said to me,

“Hey Evan! I know you’re trying to start up a gnome religion and all and that’s cool, man. I thought I’d help point you in the right direction.

 

Read over my shoulder, why dontcha. This here glowing book lists the most important tenets of the gnome religion, for which you are destined to be a prophet.

These are the lines that I read over the glowing gnome’s shoulder:

  1. Thou shalt form religious principles from conscience, thinking and life’s experiences as a gnome.
  2. Thou shalt support freedom of religious thought among gnomes.
  3. Thou shalt consult honor nature to find peace and meaning in life as a gnome.
  4. Thou shalt consume copious amount of alcohol with other gnomes for the purposes of achieving enlightenment.

I’m pretty sure there were other “thou shalts” as well, but I got so excited that I stopped reading and ran out into the streets to proclaim the word of the gnomish lord and savior.

Crap. I forgot to ask that guy’s name. Does he go by “God” like most of the deities out there? Or does he go by something a tad more creative? Hmm. Must find out. *updates to-do list*

I found a couple sources from past gnome prophets that claim to help gnomes find spirituality, but I say they’re all rubbish. You can read for yourself! I’m not here to hide anything….I’m here to point out why the past prophets sucked and why I am the most awesome prophet so far!http://gnomopedia.comli.com/wiki/index.php/Gnome_religion

Human Christmas might be over, but the spiritual awakening of the gnomes is just beginning! I have some emails out to property managers about renting worship space. Stay tuned for my upcoming spiritual quest schedule!

Yours in light, truth, and drunken enlightenment.

A Book Review of Jennifer Zane’s “Gnome For The Holidays”!

 

It’s the evening of Christmas Eve and what am I doing? Well as your gnomerhood librarian, I’m reading of course!

I just finished a delightful little novel called Gnome For The Holidays by Jennifer Zane. Roxy The Gnome recommended it to me after she gave rave reviews for Ms. Zane’s first gnome novel, Gnome On The Range.

Contrary to popular belief, I’m not your typical macho guy gnome. I like my romance novels and I’m not afraid to show it. Gnome For The Holidays is Ms. Zane’s third gnome novel.

THREE NOVELS ABOUT GNOMES! SHE’S MY HERO!

The novel is set in Bozeman, Montana and the main character is a professional graphic designer but somewhat lonesome young woman named Emma. The setting is focused at a “white elephant” Christmas gift exchange party that Emma attends. The delightful, meddling, and porn shop-owning character of Goldie plays a critical role in this third novel as well.

Goldie convinces Emma to let her pick a gift from her porn shop to bring to the   white elephant party. Much to her surprise, Emma runs into a significant man from her past at the party and a whole lot of drama is stirred up. Emma just “happens” to pick A GNOME NAMED GEORGE as her white elephant her gift. The significant man just “happens” to pick (spoiler alert!) the porn shop gift. And you’re gonna have to read the story to get the rest of the scoop.

It’s Christmas Eve for godssake….shouldn’t you be reading something holiday-related about gnomes and kinda dirty?! Check the book out on GoodReads and Amazon!

Merry freaking Christmas to you all….whether you’re celebrating in The Gnome Abode, in a hollowed out tree, or in a fictional porn shop.

xoxo,
