Beag Óg Bramblefoot

Tom appears to have gotten quite a nice hat.

I’ve only caught a few episodes of Ground Force, but it is safe to say I’d rather have the team work on my garden as opposed to placing statuettes of the team in my garden. However, the wee folks over at Gardeners’ Tips spotted the option should you seek it out.

Even better, they posted a few jokes ungnome to me at the time:

In a well known water feature a Gnome was placed on a rock in the center of a pond – The feature was called ‘Gnomeman is an Island’

Two Garden Gnomes walk into a bar. The third one ducks.

Gnomes grow a vegetable that helps brush your teeth – ‘Bristle Sprouts’

A garden gnome with an uncanny resemblance to a certain 72-year-old environmentalist. A veritable Godzilla in the form of the chemical industry.

It is becoming increasingly harder watching the waistline now that it has come into berry season. I’m a sucker for a wee little piece of tart or cobbler on a nightly basis. I’ve had to put up some netting to keep the birds away from the patch, though I am nice enough to put out a few consolation picks.

The red currants will make some great jam once they are ready.

These don’t look like any gnomes I have seen before, but the wee folks over at Generate are offering up these so-called “urban gnomes.” No word yet on their gardening skills, but I’m not holding my breath.

I stumbled upon some fabulous graffiti while wandering around the streets of Dublin. While standing in front of this wall I felt like I was on stage assisting a great magician, which is somethign I always wanted to do. As long as it isn’t that Chris Angel guy, who pulled apart that poor girl on the park bench … imagine what he could do to a wee garden gnome!

A gnome elder once told me that you can judge a gnome by his shoes, so while passing through Dublin Airport I took the chance to get a wee shine. The nice humanfolk there even have a special gnome rate which is much appreciated.

I may have been able to relate better to the *fun* of Outdoor Gnome Bowling, had it been Elf Bowling, but at least it may lessen the use of actual gnomes for tortuous entertainment. I hope it doesn’t influence the little ones to turn on gnomes as they grow older. The last thing we need is a Grand Theft Gnome video game series.
