His name was Kabouter Prikprak (don't ask, it's dutch):

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? ;)

Get out the Super Glue so Kabouter can stand guard once more! ;) 8)
Please except the expression of my deepest sympathie!
Gone, but not forgotten.
Only 5 years! He was with you for such a short time! I just gnome he'll be sorely missed by you! But I'm fairy sure you could repair him with some glue!
Some epoxi and a paintjob will bring him back to life! Use ur DIY power!!
Good time to add some mojo LED eyes as well...
Look at his eyes. The horror. The horror.
Ummmmm. So Nelson Mandella dies and this forum is mourning a gnome?
Your point?? I mean, I didn't mention Mandela, did I?

Try not to judge too harshly. People can't help it. Gnome is where the heart is.
You have my condolences for the passing of your pot friend.

So true. Sometimes we cannot help but think of our elf above all others.
We can fix him. We have the cement!

He knew winter was coming... shortly.
Goodnight sweet prince :'(

Yeah, elf dedication dwarfs all other concerns. It's a hard hobbit to break.

Restore him to greatness as he will become a beacon of hope, redemption, and perseverance to the madbean collective.
Seriously man fix that little-fugger 8)

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!
Apparently he died last year as well.

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

You gnome what? I tried for about 5 minutes to come with a pun, but I kept coming up short.

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.
Well, some would rather live in ignominy than do what it takes to pixie up the pieces and move forward.
Church. We must move on from this tragedy. But, as a wise man once said, "Gnomatter where you go...there you are."
Remember all his adventures?
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.
Check please! 8)

I'm glad you don't think we've just been trolling.
I suppose this thread is becoming a bit of a Labyrinth. It's okay if you'd like to Bowie out.
Gnome more great travel deals :'(
