    Dont you hate pants?

    What kinda gnome are you?

    A fine quandry with a sad answer.

    I fear these days I am what is known as an Urban Gnome. Gone are the days of rolling hills and damps dens. It's all white walls and Ikea, much to my dismay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    Dont you hate pants?

    Who doesn't? Or perhaps more importantly who shouldn't?

    No, a nice cosy onesie will suffice. (Preferrably Humus Brown or Lichen Green)

    What does a gnome find sexually attractive?

    What does a gnome find sexually attractive?

    I believe a well known Gnomish saying will answer this one.

    "A hole's a hole and the hole's the goal."

    Would a gnome ever have sex with a starling?

    If so why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Iv'e heard that gnomes have gnobs that look like walnuts... Is this true??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    Would a gnome ever have sex with a starling?

    Good heavens! No!

    The Starling and all his ilk and Dwarvish kin and the very antithesis of all the is Gnome. That said there is a discrete underworld industry based on starling pornography and the like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    Iv'e heard that gnomes have gnobs that look like walnuts... Is this true??

    I'm afraid not. You appear to be confusing Gnomes with Gnolls. The sexual organs of a gnome are remarkably similar to those of a Human which, of course, is delightful.

    When was the first time nothing happened?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    When was the first time nothing happened?

    It was a bright Tuesday morning and a mild breeze was coming in off the coast. I was standing there and all of a sudden nothing just seem to happen. It was as simple at that. I later returned to enjoy a breakfast of boiled egg and lightly buttered toast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    But a breeze happened...? Isnt a breeze some thing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    But a breeze happened...? Isnt a breeze some thing?

    You misunderstand. Events occured as described until nothing happened. Nothing ceased happening and normality then resumed.

    Is the 'G' actually silent? Because I enjoy pronouncing it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Is monkeyfudge's hatred of chimps irrational?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Is monkeyfudge's hatred of chimps irrational?
    When have I ever said that I hate chimps?

    I only hate the fact that people think that chimps are monkeys...

    It's like when someone thinks that Ireland is part of the UK... you don't like that they think that, but it doesn't mean you hate the UK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    Is the 'G' actually silent? Because I enjoy pronouncing it.

    The beauty of the 'G' in the word 'Gnome' is in its flexibily. Among the numerous pronunciations are Gnome, Gnome and of course Gnome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    Is monkeyfudge's hatred of chimps irrational?

    Of course not. Without his hatred of the fact that people think chimps are monkeys his love of the very monkey itself would not seem so sweet.

    Im so glad you said that

    greetings wise Gnome,

    my question is....why do bad things happen to good people?

    And salutations to you my good Clownbag. I must admit you name amuses me each and everytime I see it. Mmm, yes.

    Bad things things happen to good people for the very same reason that good things happen to bad people. It's basically because millions of years ago the ancestors of the Weasel made a vile pact with the forefathers of the Starling. From this pact comes all things ill, odd and unexplained.

    How many roads must a man walk before you can call him a man?

    The meaning of Life is a harsh and unforgiving one.... but it is not mine to tell, that would be too easy. No, you must discover it yourself but when you do find out down come running to me with a face full of snot and tear. I told you so.

    Tori is a 6.46.

    You know the the answer as well as I do. No. I also find 'moist' often falls into the same category.

    The easiest way to the heart of most Gnomes is through nonsensical poetry, for instance "The Jabberwock" as referenced in my signature. Other methods include vole tickling, removal of raisins from fruit muesli, albino polarbear hunting.

    As to your second question, the answer is no. It would seem man has an inbuilt mechanism that activates once the word 'erection' is mentioned. Immediatly his brain checks his body for an erection and when none is found an instant release of tension results in amusement.

    Finally you hint at a truth dearest Scraggs. But which is the lie and which is the truth? Will we one day find that all our 'cod' have been replaced by a southern imposter?

    Only time will tell.

    I'm afraid that spacecoyote is to blame for your current status. Clichés are devious creatures, they can talk, walk and use every deciept to enslave the listener.

    Have you ever had dealings with a Pipe Troll?

    For those gnot in the gknow:
    Pipe trolls are evil little shits quite literally. When you have been sitting for ages and you ass goes gnumb that is actually a pipe troll putting their magic pipe dust on your ass so he can crawl in and take up lodgings - in your pipe!

    They gnumb ur ass so you dont feel them spreading ur cheeks with their very large (relatively) hands. They are well known for their smelly finger nails and trade the contents of under their nails as we would gold.

    High ranking pipe trolls are identifiable by their large shit layden eyebrows. Large eyebrows are seen as godlike and are compareable to mens fasinations with their penis.

    I can can safely say that I haven't. Trolls and Gnomes don't really get on well together and Pipe Trolls don't get on with anyone (Except each other. Repeatedly.) Though they are not despised like Dwarves and others of the Starling no reputable Gnome will deal with one openly unless it is of benefit to others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Should we put a silent "G" before any word starting with a "n" or words like "know"?
