Ha! Yes, indeed… but then again… the art world has a history of being male-centric. Remember, this is a commission for Jimmy Chow, “artist extraordinaire.”
Did anyone count the gnomes?
DOES anyone want to count the gnomes?
What Randie should probably do now is take one of the gnomes and in front of all the others, make an “example” of him if any of them want to step out of line.
Hey… safety first!
I’m not sure which worries me more…… the one with fangs or the bug-eyed one looking desperately like HE’S gnomeophobic! the one sticking out his tongue is just funny. So I tried doing a quick count…… and gave up around 300. Just sort of lost my place. It’s REALLY hard to count uneven rows of very similar things! Let’s just settle upon Mark 5:9 shall we? “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
That’s about right there, Trev. And this would be most un-nerving. When Jimmy Chow sets these up in a gallery environment with white lights and white wall… what do you suppose his message is? Do you suppose HE is the Head Gnome Supreme Leader?
Hm, he might just have a supreme case of short man syndrome! Honestly, no offense to the creative visual types but…… I don’t get artists a lot of the time. I really don’t. Of course I may just be a different form of crazy. After all, ‘All the best people are crazy!’, but they don’t say how specifically.
Ha… Yah… that’s good… I cannot help but think of “Night on Bald Mountain” and think of the first version I heard of that piece… on the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack. So it has a bit of cheesy disco-ness to it. Of course, then I think of the cheesy disco song that came right after that on the record, “Open Sesame” … I have to laugh.
I wonder if there’s another buried tomb somewhere in China full of terra cotta gnomes…
This makes me think of the “..maze full of twisty little passages, all different…”
Terra cotta gnome army? Man, that’d be surreal since the originals were all unique representations of real men! That gets right into ‘horror story’ territory. So much for sleep tonight…… quick, give Stephen King a call!
This would be fun! And Trev, glad I could help out with the “sweet dreams.” If Mr. King wishes to contact me, I’m ready whenever he is to tell him my story.
I can hear the tramp of little feet marching! RUN AWAY!!
Now that you’ve said that, I have the exact sound in my head… it’s the intro to the song “Who Needs Sleep?” by the Barenaked Ladies.
they all have beards.obviously this is gnome man’s land/

My God, they’re breeding!
It would appear to be so. There are quite a few!
I think I read of this in some old H.P. Lovecraft book.
It very well could be an episode of The Twilight Zone. Randie has had a run-in with that before.

OOoooo, Good Suggestion! Randie needs to take matters into her own hands!
Seems to me, that you have some experience in this sort of thing. Hmm…
Tongue! TONGUE!
You found one of three! Good job!
shivers…
Indeed. So you have a fear of gnomes, too?

I get more of a Night on Bald Mountain from this scene; it is then followed by Hall of the Mountain King.
