Erin probably isn’t fully aware of this yet, but the back yard is in the process of being occupied by a cadre of garden gnomes. Actually, she probably is, but her way of dealing with the invasion is primarily by laughing at me, which, when I think about it, is a damned sight better than some of the other options at her disposal. Most of the gnomes are relatively benign, but I’ve been looking for gnomes that will provide a more robust presence…and what better way than gnomes armed with an AK-47 or an M-16A2 rifle? Let’s see those damned squirrels try and sneak through interlocking fields of fire established by garden gnomes with itchy trigger fingers, eh?
Now if I could just find gnomes armed with RPGs, flame throwers, LAWs, or bazooks, I’d be able to sleep soundly at night….
