The Gnome is Back:-)

After an absence of some while - Following a break from the Mudcat and a Gno more Gnome message - the Gnome is back.

I decided that the Gnome pseudonym had had it's day and became plain old Dave Polshaw. But one of the Gnome Daughters pointed me in the direction of David the Gnome or, in his native Spanish, David el Gnomo.

So, here I am. Always remember that, in mythology, the Gnome is keeper of a secret treasure. If you ever wonder why I am so smug and gnod gnowingly while you wallow in your ignorance then just remember the treasure. It is mine. You will never find it.

Hehehehehehehehehe

I suppose you could be known as DeG or Degsy to your familiars?

As for your secret treasure can we have some guesses?

Is it in any way related to those pills, potions and offers of "personal enhancement" that appear as Spam almost by the hour?

Didn't the Mancunians overrun Europe back in the Dark Ages or something?

Yep, we did, Rap. Under the leadership of Fu Mancu...

Les, no guesses but I will buy you a pint at Swinton, if you make it, for pointing out I should be DeG:-)

BTW - Just decided that I am going to wear a Gnome hat all day at Swinton Folk Festival. If anyone rings my bell I'll buy them a pint. But I'm not saying if I am being literal or rude! :-D

Cardiff. That's the town I was thinking of. Cardiff.

It's in Wales and not Cornwall, I think. There might be a difference but I'm not certain.

Hmmmm... maybe this is a clue to his hideous secret...

An anagram of David el Gnomo is 'mad long video'...

A closet porn star, perhaps...!!

With draft beer and a smile, Ned Pearsall raised a toast to his deceased neighbor, Henry Friddle, whose death greatly pleased him.

Henry had been killed by a garden gnome. He had fallen off the roof of his two-story house, onto that cheerful-looking figure. The gnome was made of concrete. Henry wasn't.

A broken neck, a cracked skull: Henry perished on impact.

This death-by-gnome had occurred four years previously. Ned Pearsall still toasted Henry's passing at least once a week.

The only anagrams I can make of 'erm' are mer, rem, mre and rme.

I think I have probably just insulted someone but I am not quite sure whom and with what...

You DO realize that "el Gnomo" is an absolutely vile insult in certain Spanish dialects?
