Garden Gnomes are EVERYWHERE

Apr 02, 2007 20:41

Disappointingly, I noticed that everyone seemed to take my Kaleidoscope of Kitsch post at face value, and not one person accused me of pulling an April Fools joke. I was half-hoping someone would at least accuse me of pranking, even though it was true ( Read more... )

If it helps any, my first thought was "April Fool?" but my second was along the lines of "Wait, why would she prank her Livejournal friendlist by claiming to plan a garden full of gnomes?"

Because gnomes are inherently funny? Funnier when strewn across a gnome-hating co-worker's office though. :D

*howls*

Oh, that is BEAUTIFUL.

And the reason I didn't comment on your earlier post was because I was in a hurry at the time, and simply registered it as "Ha, April Fool's" and kept going. I should have known you would have a Nefarious Plan.

Yeah, so next time I say I purchased 40+ lawn ornaments, you know it's safe to assume that I really DID purchase 40+ lawn ornaments, though you might want to ask whose lawn is getting flamingoed. :D

I'll bring my camera tomorrow to take pictures of the gnome-man's land that currently resides on my cabinet.

I was proud. It's one of the more effective pranks I've pulled in recent years.

The best part? The gnomes mostly came from the dollar store, which makes them three times as cheap and five times as hideous.

That is truly brilliant. I hope -- nay, I beg -- that you'll be able to spare a gnome or two for a trip to Australia.

I have 20 minignomes. I'm sure I can send a few on a world tour.

My family all wondered what in the heck I was laughing at. I was DYING.

My uncle kind of did something similar. For my grandpa's birthday one year, he made up a bunch of masks of Grandpa's face, and we all wore them as a surprise. After the party was over, my uncle gathered up all the masks and proceeded to hide them all over the house-- inside cupboards, on the bottom of bags of flour, on the inside of the toilet seat lid. We were running across them for *years*.

LOL. Man, that's even creepier than garden gnomes!
