We have a ceramic snail in front of the house (my wife got it as a gift). We don't exactly have a front lawn, so it's sitting inside a large vase beside the front door. She says she wants to put 'other stuff' in the flower boxes beside the garage, but thankfully there's no room there for gnomes.

I have a garden gnome. It is a granite carved statue of a gnome like figure urinating a la "Mannikin Pis"

It was a present from my brother who is slightly weird and pokes badgers for fun..

The gnome is kind of lurking in the herbaceous border but when I get my garden landscaped, I suspect he may get relegated to behind the compost bin

When I lived with my parents... The crazy old german across the street ( sorry for sterotyping germans,,, not all of them are old http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ) had about 100 garden gnomes.... NOne were ever stolen.

Why. He had this huge deer.... That was the target... But it took about 4 people to move it...

At christmas he would create the Birth of Jesus with all the garden gnomes.... and then go griswal with the lights. It was rather disturbing..... People would drive from all over to see the display...

I'll just bet people who have garden gnomes, pink flamingos, and other manmade infestations of brightly-colored pLastic and ceramic displayed in their yard are the same types of people who stand beside you in elevators and whistle as if they are the only person in the universe, sit in the cubicle beside yours and always use the speakerphone instead of the handset, sit right behind you in a theatre of 200 seats when 199 of them are empty, and park their shopping buggy on the middle-right side of an aisle while they stand on the middle-left side of the aisle trying to figure out if the 12-ounce can of beets costs more (or less) per ounce than the 16-ounce can does.

(ok, OK, so I'm having a bad day http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif )
