Title: We lost an important man yesterday........
Post by: DutchMF on December 06, 2013, 08:09:01 PM
His name was Kabouter Prikprak (don't ask, it's dutch):
(http://imageshack.com/a/img59/9309/xy8x.jpg)

We had a big storm yesterday, with winds well over 100 km/h. Our faithful garden gnome was knocked over and, as you can see, suffered some major, fatal brain damage. Since we don't have a garden (2 stories up), he's been sitting on his mushroom on our balcony for over 5 years, never complaining about the lack of a fishing rod or a wheelbarrow. He was one of the few things our cat never attacked, and will be sorely missed.

Now, you didn't see that one coming, did ya?  ;)

Try not to judge too harshly.  People can't help it.  Gnome is where the heart is.

True I think, although  I am not as familiar with the Keebler.  It's not a name I come across in the standard gnomenclature.

Let's not argue over semantics, the fact is he died and no one cared! Ahahahahaha I saw it the other day in a news feed. When I saw it I said, I thought he was already dead. Yup!

No, he didn't actually die then.  The Professor revived him using a defibrillator built from two coconut halves.

You know, every time someone important dies, we troll out a lot of fake pleasantries about the person even if we did not gnome them. It's a fairy common thing. I'm Froud to say I don't take part in that.

I agree.  Sometimes you just have to get out and walk the earth.  There are many benefits to a gnomadic lifestyle.  It's usually the path to elf-actualization.
