As not to hijack the completed siggy thread, I thought I'd help out our new folks by explaining the gnomes that keep getting mentioned.

Last Christmas, somehow (someone remind me), the subject of gnomes was brought up in the Secret Santa thread. We got carried away and the gnomes haunt us to this day.


We've had other running gags, including Susan/rosiemac constantly ripping her knickers in the vacation thread (lost in the Great Crash of 2004) and Susie/kittylover4ever's gas problem.

Crazy cat folk that we are...

I can explain how the gnomes started
I had Danielle last year for Secret Santa, and she wouldn't post her likes and dislikes in the hints thread. I had a pretty good idea what I was getting her, so I had a few specific questions I needed answered, particularly favorite scents and colors. I enlisted a snooping santa to get her to post. It was decided that we may as well have fun with it, and she was asked a few off the wall questions, one of which was "Do you like gnomes". Her disgusted reaction in the thread merited quite a few replies after that.

I just looked it up

do you like gnomes?? NO NO and NO!!! sorry to those that do - but I cant stand them

Almost? I have been busted on here so many times its crazy. Even my big boss busted me. He knows my mom well and went over there and I called to tell I got busted on TCS and she was trying to get him to call my boss and tell her to send me over to be counsiled. Luckily he likes me and didn't do it!!

If it makes you feel any better, gnomes scare the daylights outta me.
I will walk on the other side of the street if I see one in a yard.

That's it! I'm starting a gnome rescue!
I'll build a little enclosure and make sure that they have plenty of food and water.
