This is no joke

Then why does it make me laugh so hard?

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.

Sorry, but I just find it hilarious to be terrified of a little gnome. Some of you should check your yards and make sure your gnome hasn’t left for a South American vacation, because he’s really causing a ruckus. You have to watch the video. To hear the boy scream like a girl just makes me roll on the floor laughing. Good stuff.

    Ever notice that you do not see these reports coming out from the Redneck community?

    Lil’ guy like that would end up as either tomorrows dinner or a hood ornament on a 3/4 Ton Chevy at the first sighting. The last thing that poor lil’ sideways walking dude would hear would be- click click, BAM!!

    There is a reason the USA rules the world…

    Maybe it is the Travelocity Roaming Gnome.

    ROFL.

    I love it.

    Sam’s comment was good, too, but Ted’s is a tough act to follow.

    One quick alteration: Those reports do come out of redneck country, but only once… only once. Shoot first, report later.

    Hi Tammi,

    We should, in my opinion, rescue that thing and stick it in the race for President. Really, I strongly suspect that the gnome vote is going to be pivotal this year.

    Hi Ted,

    Right on!

    Hi all!

    John, it’s okay, don’t be scared. That thing looks like he’s only having fun. :)

    Ted — well … funny. Thanks for stopping in once in every blue moon.

    Sam, that’s what I was thinking — possibly the travelocity gnome. Crazy little critter.

    Bridget — don’t inflate Ted’s ego. ;)

    Velvet, The Illinois shaped cornflake is awesome. I might bid on one shaped like TX. Those girls are having some good clean fun. Good for them! Oh, I’m not sure what that sideways walking thing is, but I think it’s adorable. :)

    Grit, once again you’re a genius. What’s new? You probably get a little tired of people saying that all the time. Imagine the fun to be had at the inaugural ball. I bet that little thing can really shake a leg. :)

    Sorry I’ve been sort of MIA — just doing other things. Thanks again for stopping in everyone and Ted — I’ll see you at lunch. ;)

    Hi Tammi,

    Not really. You can call me a genius all you want, and I will probably never tire of it :) As to the future of gnome politics, I suspect we’ll be bombarded with TV ads based on “know your gnome” and “if you don’t know the gnomenclature, get out of office!” Considering the apparently indestructible nature of his/hers/its pointy hat and along the line of your shaking a leg comment, I also expect to be swamped with break dancing videos during my evening TV viewing.
