I'm not exactly afraid of gnomes. I just think they're kind of creepy. Always have. But now I can't get away from them. They're everywhere.
Due to the phenomenal success of the film "Gnomeo and Juliet" they've become movie stars. Who would have thought they'd do Shakespeare?
But then who would have thought that a roaming gnome would be the official Travelocity mascot?
And now I read that a woman in England has 2,000 gnomes, all named.
And that in 2009 a German artist posed 1,250 gnomes in a Nazi salute in protest of modern fascism.
No wonder I'm afraid of gnomes. No, wait I'm not afraid of them. Really.
