Wherefore Art Thou, Gnomeo?
During the holidays, "gnome" is where the heart is. Share with us your gnome pictures. And if your gnome happens to be free to move about the country—or various places in the Geneva area—that's OK with us.
Yes, there's no place like gnome for the holidays.
Please forgive the gnomenclature of the headline, "dek" and lead paragraph, but in my endless, desperate search for the next viral story, I am turning to gnomes. (And, as an aside, I think "Viral Gnomes" would be a good name for a rock band.)
I was going to say that I suspect this appeal for posts has about as much chance of success as the "" experiment. But it turns out the picture of the big toe got WAY more attention and UVs than I expected or hoped. (But more on that at another time.)
