Wherein I demonstrate my ridiculousness.

[mrs.jacinthe]

We bought a garden gnome (at CVS, of all places) when we lived in Ohio, and he's made three moves with us.  But the California sun was really starting to get to his (no doubt toxic chemical laden) paint job.  He was faded to a sort of mottled grayish pink and it was SAD.

So this last weekend I set out to refresh him.  I went to HD to buy white spray paint, but instead this happened:



Also, I feel the need to note that his name has always been Steven.  But lately, we've started calling him Phteven because the (tuna the dog) meme cracks me up. 



And one last Tuna PIP (which made me gigglesnort OUT LOUD the first time I saw it):

LOVE the silver gnome! I have a godzilla crushing gnomes that I *want* to put out but I'm worried about the sun damage.

YHL would have been been super impressed if you had gone with oil-rubbed bronze.

Also, Tuna cracks me up.

He looks like a gnome Elvis!

That dog is hilarious. I didn't know his name.

[LadySusan]

He looks like he's ready to hit the Disco!

That's one jazzy gnome. He looks like he's about to bust a move!

[bunnymendelbaum]

I love you.

That is all.

[mrsemilys]

Amazing. I needed a laugh

[auntie]

love.

The guy who does my mulching (when I don't do it myself) leaves behind a gnome as his calling card. He tucks them in so they aren't easily spotted. The weird thing is that he sort of looks like a garden gnome himself which is why he does it- to remind you to call him.

I love the gnome and Tuna cracks me up every time.

I can't criticize anyone's gnomes. I have 2 zombie gnomes in front of my house.

My only question is what paint did you use? I never find silver/metallic paint that is actually shiny. It always seems to be more sparkly than shiny.

I love the silver gnome and auntie think the guy who does your mulching is awesome; I love that he leaves them as calling cards

[texassmith]

[munkii]

There is nothing (NOTHING) ridiculous about a silver gnome.

[adhdfashion]

I think he needs a couple rhinestones.

I always suspected he had a secret family somewhere.
