New Crew Member for Gnome Fest

Because everybody needs somebody, I thought our resident Gnome, Billy



could use a little company at da Fest.

Through the miracle of Ebay, enter Jerry:



This is what Ebay had to say about him:

NEW Farting Gnome Sassy Novelty for Garden Yard

He looks cute enough, but when you pass by this Farting Gnome lets out unexpected gassy explosions along with a series of several seam-splitting comments sure to stun his victims. Hidden motion sensor is sure to surprise all that cross his path. Durable PVC. 11" Tall. Uses 2 AA batteries, not included.


Now, how was I supposed to resist that? I mean REAL-LY.

There's a little back story to choosing the name Jerry. My pal Joel used to call all his friends (so it wasn't a big problem) either Billy, lil Billy, Jerry or maybe Captain or Cap. He said it was to simplify things. Truth is it amused him in a way only your own little asinine joke can. He'd call me, say "Hey, Billy." I eventually learned to reply "What's up Jerry?". We still play this game from time to time. I used to try thinking up other names to call him, usually something feminine. (Ring) "What's up Jerry?" (sometimes he'd switch it up on you) "Not much Lilly.......Tomlin". Ah, the things you do to amuse yourself....


...like buy a farting gnome.

Aw don't give up the faith just yet. Your hubby will bring home the 24 hour green and you will be good to go again. If not maybe a Gnome will leave a little sumptin under your Christmas tree.
