More dastardly Gnome hatred abounds...
Quote:
'Creepy Gnome' Terrorises Town
A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.
The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.
Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina.
He said: We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning.
I began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking.
"Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones.
"We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid."
Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome.
He said: This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighborhood now.
"One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.

Looks like a gnome to me! Probably a Redcap, you know one of those nasty gnomes that dips it's pointy little hat in blood!

THAT GNOME IN THE VIDEO IS CRAZY... Matter of fact, it's probably one of the reasons gnomes are hated so much. I mean look at how he is walking! ATTACK!

I blame WOTC and the dumping of the Gnome from the PHB.

I blame it on the fact that gnomes just taste so damn good to troll folk.

Omote, you remind of the Tracy Morgan character on Saturday Night Live, Brian Fellows:

My heart is glad

I don't know you anymore. I'm so disappointed, that you can openly mock our garden friends knowing FULL WELL the dangers that the rabbit-kin face on a day to day basis.
Look full in the face of this terror!!!

Well, I can't say I'm a troll of any sort, but there is something about that jar that looks so scrumptious. *licks lips* Anybody got any flumph sauce?

LOL!
Hey, you know I'm starting to wonder now... We are close to St. Patty's Day... could we perhaps be mistaking a poor Leprechaun trying to find his Pot o' Gold for a ferocious town-stalking gnome?

Nay, ye can tell by its walk... so sayeth the lord ranger I met just a fortnight hence.

Ah, okay
You know it's funny seeing this news about Gnome sightings because recently we've been hearing news that a 'Legendary Lizard Man' has been sighted in South Carolina and scratching up people's cars. Makes me wonder what other creature's we'll be seeing this year...

Oh dear.... Well I wouldn't go to South America anymore if I were you. I think we're having a Gnome Revolt.
