According to this this report from that pinnacle of reputable British journalism The Sun, a stunted, pointy-hat-wearing gnome is haunting a small South American town.
“Teenager Jose Alvarez – who filmed the gnome – yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, Argentina.
“One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.—
The video footage is creepy in a ‘Blair Witch’ yeah-and-pull-the-other-one kinda way, but the real question must be: Hands up who’s seen Polanski and his midget sidekick lately?
(I really wish this had happened in the Emerald Isles. It would have given me the unparalleled opportunity to use the headline ‘Gnome Man is in Ireland’)

[…] strikes me that this gnome is MUCH more scary than this […]
Gnome sweet gnome.
‘Gnome Man is in Ireland’
I’m home with the flu, and just laughed so hard at this that I nearly passed out. Cheers!
Well, you know the old saying: gnome news is good news.
Also – sorry – on first reading I missed the “is” part of your endnote and didn’t get it. I’m better now, and groaning profusely.
Also Part Deux – I think a homunculus watch would be pretty cool. Sort of like a Mickey Mouse watch with slightly less colorful clothing. Although… hmm.
I agree, it must be Polanski . .
Y’all can’t fool me- that John McCain!
Cissy Strutt: And I thought my pun was bad.
Hypatia: Hello and welcome to The Cow! I’m sorry I added an extra symptom to your illness.
SpamJam: Groan. And, I would pay for an Homunculus Watch. Much more than I’d pay for a Mickey Watch. But the creme-de-la-chronos would surely be a Prowler Watch.
Malach: Well he’s not at his blog, so he’s gotta be somewhere.
Colonel: Nah. That gnome is younger and more agile than John McCain. And would make a much better US president.
Man, that shit is creepy. However, I really think it’s probably just a drunk midget.
What is it with you and Donne?
There is my pet gnome! Bad gnome, bad boy!
Actually his name is Itsy. He got out last week and we have been looking for him since. You can catch him with a can of tuna.
‘Gnome Man is in Ireland’ – I wish I had said that. And as Oscar Wilde once replied to a very similar comment, “You will!”
