Name the Gnome
My long wait was rewarded. I knew if I toughed it out Target would put the gnomes on sale...and they did! WooT!
Please say hello to my new garden gnome!

That doesn't look like any of the six gnome pictures that I have saved. *grin*
I vote for Jerome. Jerome the gnome.
If the gnome was a woman, would she be miss gnomer?
Actually, if we named him Miss Gnomer, that would be a misnomer.
Okay, I'm finished.
Or, we could name her Gnaomi. If it was a her.
I vote for Name. Name the Gnome.
How much does Target have the gnomes on sale for? I might have to go get one. He is CUTE!
He looks like a Gus to me.
You could name him TAR, after the gnomes in The Amazing Race. He's a cutie.
I vote Chomsky. For Noam Chomsky. I thought he was an asshole years ago, but somehow he got famous and is the most famous Noam I know of.
Shan, of course.
Jerome! Jerome the Gnome!
...or you can call it Fred. Yeah.
Blah. Not Noam Chomsky.
Transformational grammar...eesh.
There's a kids' show called "Gordon the Garden Gnome".
So maybe Gordon?
Or how about 'Alaska'?
Hee. I like Gnaomi. Maybe he had a sex change. You've got a transgendered gnome, don't you?
(finally understanding the BB jokes)
Keebler.
Will you be knitting him little outfits for winter?
( you do realize that he is going to come to life and hack up all your flowers at night? It's true)
Does Travelosity know he's taken a second job in your garden?
How about Gnorman Gnome?
You do know at night they come alive and smother you? They also battle cats.
Wasn't Battlecat on Masters of the Universe?
Orco the gnome?
My gnome is very well behaved...he hasn't hacked up my flowers, battled my cats, or tried to smother me. Yet.
*looks outside to check on gnome*
:-)
Momma...they were on sale at Target for $13.99, down from $19.99.
And I'm loving the names so far.
I vote for Gnome Chomsky. :)
He looks like a Speedy to me. *grin*
Not here to name the gnome, but I do have a picture of your gnome on my cell phone. I was in Target and they were all lined up and I just cracked up and took a picture of them and sent it to the husband.
Why are gnomes so humorous?
How about Shannotsoawoman?
Oh boy, I must get a gnome for my new house LOL.
A Nookie gnome. *snort*
LOL, carey! *pictures putting two gnomes in compromising positions*
I like Gnome Chomsky. Jerome & Miss Gnomer also get an honorable mention from me.
How cute! I also believe that you have a transgendered gnome (takes one to know one, you know) so I vote for Gnaomi.
Yehti!
Sasquatch!
So? Have you decided on a name?
I see a weed.
Will.
You could always go with Grandfather Asshole. That was the funniest thing I read in a long time.
*snort* I found "Grandfather asshole" to be priceless. LMAO
My nominations?
Gnorman.
Urban Gnome-boy.
Actually, this gnome thing lends itself to a plethora of puns. To wit:
Gnome is where the heart is.
There's no place like Gnome.
To Gnome is to lovm.
Gnome-man is an island.
Gnome if you want to. (Think B52s)
Gnome pain, Gnome gain.
and I will contend to this day that Roberto Duran was actually calling Sugar Ray Leonard a "Gnome Ass." (ok, that was a bit obscure. Just a tad.)
Transgendered? TAR? I think that this gnome can only be named Phil Keoghan.
Although "Bob" has a certain appeal as well.
