Donna from Garden Walk Garden Talk and I revisited the site of my previous entry and took a close up photo using special gnome sensitive equipment (patent pending GWGT). I have attached what we found. Donna believes that the gnomes were away campaigning against Santa when I took my original photographs. For more information on their grievances, see the-gnomes-take-on-santa-in-numbers. You can thank Donna for helping me capture these rare and secretive creatures on film just as they erupted from underground. She has a real knack with gnomes.
wow, I need one of those lens!
"I think I should get extra points for this rare photo which I am sure National Geographic would pay top dollar for. I will give you first shot free of charge because I am in the holiday spirit."
When field reporters unite anything can happen:

Creativity Bonus
For steadfastly refusing to go pointless through the end of the year, for the uprising of the field reporting staff and because someone finally proved my theory: 4 points

After exhaustive research I believe I found the magic lens:
25 cents for gnome viewer, 50 cents for unicorn viewer, you can see old porn for free
The gnomes look like Santa. Is this picture real or computer generated? I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAutumn Bell, um... the picture is magic but it is GWGT's story to tell
ReplyDeleteI guess Carolyn should have been here for the fantasy yard art competition...
ReplyDeleteTufa Girl, you are so right! We will be having another contest next year so hold onto your hats.
ReplyDeleteThat viewer is all very well, but what if you want to watch gnome porn?
ReplyDeleteMasked Blogger, if you want gnome porn:

If you want a gnome porn viewer, come over later, and we'll talk.
The gnomes were out campaigning against Santa?!?! They're anti-Santa and in league with the deer that destroy yards? What scourge have I brought upon my house by inviting these gnomes into my yard?
ReplyDeleteOh, I think she should totally get some points for tenacity and creativity!
ReplyDeleteI was pouting for Carolyn because of no points. I finally brushed away the tears and cleared my throat so I can post my comment. Please give a point for her rare capture. She stood there motionless for so long to get this image, those little buggers are quick.
ReplyDeleteok, I feel like the Grinch.
ReplyDeleteEl Gaucho, you bring a gnome in and things just begin to happen around your yard. Good luck my friend.
eventer79 and GWGT... alright done. You know I am a sucker for field reporter negotiation.
Now that is more like. Rules can be broken, I knew it would only take a few crocodile tears, a little sincere begging and some well positioned backup. Thanks eventer79, Carolyn Will be happy I am sure, at least I hope so anyway.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't even comment because I was speechless with grief (although I did recover enough to give the post 5 hearts on Blotanical). Now I am so happy that Christmas morning will be a let down. The fearless field reporters have prevailed in the end.
ReplyDeleteFour points and 6 hearts later, now we're are talking. Way to go Carolyn. You earned the coveted award of the Loyal Order of the Golden Manatee. I still don't quite know what it is, but apparently it is a great honor.
ReplyDeleteGWGT see FAQ's: http://www.theyardartgame.com/p/faqs.htm To be bestowed the golden manatee is the highest honor that can be obtained by a field reporter. Basically it means, in some way you knocked my socks off.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the explanation. Now I know what I have to aspire to. I need to go back to rubber duck landing. Where there are hundreds of rubber ducks and more legitimate gnomes than you can count. Be ready to lose your socks next year. You won't even have the patience for all the counting. I can get a years worth of points with one house, plus all the other yard stuff they have. I made nice with the lady so I am in for the grand tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the laughs this year, LH! I wish you and yours a merry and a happy! Your blog is definitely one of a kind and in the best way possible!
ReplyDeleteLVL, thank you so much for the warm comments. Merry Christmas to you and your friends and family.
