this was a tough competition, made all the more difficult by my inability to remain lucid while self-medicating. note to self: mixing over-the-counters does not a prescription-effect make. although it does provide some great entertainment.
(on that front, i will be visiting the orthopod tomorrow, and if he/she dares tell me there is nothing wrong, i will beat him/her to death with whatever objects I can wield using only my good arm.)
and now, the long awaited results of the second * golden state * contest:

in fifth place: we find common wombat’s “ferdinand frankel.” like wombat, i am partial to the name ferdinand. i am not sure what this says about me, or wombat, but i’m confident that it’s not good.
fourth place: dead puppy’s “al gergnome.” which coincidentally, made me go all nerdy and briefly consider “gene gnome,” before realizing that i am now officially someone my boyfriend would have beaten up in middle school. excluding, of course, the fact that i am hot and my rack would have distracted him even then. (b cup by fourth grade! holla!)
third place: is maenwyn’s “gnome chomsky.” i understand that this appears to be along the same lines as the last submission, but come on. “gnome chomsky?” rules do not apply.
second place: goes to the illustrious grend31 for “sir dimbkin punfoodle, esq.” it is pretty clear that the gnome is educated. i wasn’t sure if he was an esq or an md, but you don’t carry around books like that for no reason. it’s like we’re supposed to believe he likes to read. seriously. who reads?
and in first place, the blue ribbon, the big cheese, the head honcho, the the winner and gnamer of my gnome (not a euphemism): moocow, who introduced us to
fjorken van der bean,

riding a poorly-clipped* in sea monkey at sunrise.
obviously.
and because i do like prizes, of course there is shwag! who doesn’t like getting oddities in the mail from virtual strangers?
unfortunately, due to my current circumstances, i am unable to afford prizes or each of my winners. thus, only the cow gets a tangible prize, whilst the rest of you get my admiration. which is not for resale. even on ebay.
and what does moocow get exactly?
this awesome t-shirt, which is on its way to his door. here’s to hoping it convinces some lucky girl to make the babies.

chillin with my gnomies
*goddammit i need photoshop on this crap computer. msn paint sucks giant poo balls.

I totally feel you on this post. I love that Amélie movie and those Travelocity tv spots. Gnome sane?
Curse you and your cleverosity MooCow!!! I'll get you yet! And yer little dog too!
*ahem*
And with that being said, you totally picked the correct winner Miss Kendra. Moo not only kicked my arse, he will look so damned hip in that shirt.
egan: i do in fact gnome you mean. gnomes are like crack to me.
grend: congratulations on your place! you did wonderfully. and thanks for the inside track on the size issue. moo looks skinny in pictures, but photoshop. you know.
I see you like yarn. This has been noted. I have a good source for yarn as you probably gnow. Is Gary Gnu going to pay us a visit?
Had you named him Al Gergnome, I might have sent him flowers.
I didn't even place. I thought Bob was a great name.
Dammit.
egan: i *do* like yarn. you could be my only canadian source for yarn. if it gets shipped over the border, do we have to pack it in mint leaves or something? so the dogs won't know?
navel: fjorken likes flowers too you know. but point taken.
It's good you asked Miss Kendra. Moo is a tough one to clothe. In fact, just this morning we spent hours trying to get him into his Tuesday body stocking.
Oh, and ultimately it was Jesster who came through with the sizing information.
Gnomes are tiny like me :)
brooke: you snuck in! bob is the name of the guy in the cube next to me, so it seemed odd. but you placed in my heart, brooke. i heart you.
grend: tell jesster i said thank you then. and then make out with her. that part has nothing to do with me, but she might like it.
froggie: if only you two could meet.
egan: well i don't know. somehow i got the impression that you were of canadia. so you too are now an american that is mistaken for canadian. it happens to me all the time, so it must be the good looks thing.
Canadian? Huh. I guess my dashing good looks imply that I am Canadian or was it the French? I'm 100% grade A American yo!
and somehow my comment got in ahead of yours... that old blogger magic.
Oh, call him what you will, he'll always be Ferdinand to me.
I do love Canada though. Make no mistake about it, Seattle is in the States.
*blinks*
*checks again*
You know I wasn't sure how anything was going to top meeting TheHock...
And then this happens.
Oh my effing...wow. I'm speechless.
Woot.
wombat: you may call him ferdinand if you wish. but only in the wee hours, and only if you're naked.
don't ask why. really.
egan: Boy and i have been tossing around the possibility of seattle being our next destination. what do you think? can they handle all that is me?
moo: maybe you should call TheHock and see how she likes you now.
Shut your mouth. WHERE THE HELL DID THAT SHIRT COME FROM????
Gnome matter that I didn't win. I still love you.
Oh, I never entered? pass the meds.
libby: it's a david and goliath shirt. fromnt he stupid factory. really.
bebebijoux: i love you too. and pass the meds.
This settles it. I have a crush on you miss kendra... And I promised myself I wouldn't get attached after that whole spinning girl fiasco!
Also, I've seen Noam Chomsky speak and ironically, there really is something quite gnomey about him. He's tiny and has gray hair.
Such total bullshit..I cant even remember what I said but I know it was better than that.
I'd go with either Pat M'Groin, I.P. Nightly, or Rusty Bedsprings.
jiggs: i'm flattered! to be the object of your blush (blog crush) was a new year's resolution of mine. so i can just cross that off the list and bask in the warm glow.
calzone: i'm sorry. your entry (hehe) was wonderful, but i needed something relatively work appropriate. you know how it is, these losers just don't understand our love.
Kudoes (kudos?) all around. Y'all are way to amusing and literate for my low-rent arse.
There's no place like gnome.
Seattle is a great town. We are in day 23 of straight rain though. But I love rain.
monkeygurrrl: low rent. pshaw! i've seen your arse, and it's lovely.
egan: 23 days of rain? god hates seattle.
Not even honorable mention for my suggestions? Not a tip of the hat? Not even a "these were the worst names submitted" category for me to be awarded with?
Dag yo.
acw: sorry? you totally got prizes last time. don't hate the player- hate the game.
It was your new year's resolution!
How could I hope to defend myself against your feminine wiles?
I waving my white flag and I won't lie: I'm glad I surrendered.
Here's a question that bugs me. Do gnomes have bellybuttons? Are they mammals like people or their own thing elves?
i am so sad. i totally froze during the gnome contest. like one of those smart people on jeopardy who becomes an instant dumbass on teevee. you can see the harvard years flash before their eyes. only with gnomes, see.
jiggs: as you should be.
navel: magical creatures don't need bellybuttons. but they might have them for fun.
robiewan: i know. it happens to the best of us.
and then the hillbilly with the mullet wins.
i like cookies. who would have gnome we'd have so much in common. bwaahahah! i better gno now, i might embarass myself.
I will make another audio post this afternoon and I will read you a story.
MSN paint sucks.
All right Miss Kendra.. its up. Just for you ;)
Three things: First, I really like your blog. Second, don't despair - Photoshop sucks little poo balls, so you're only missing a little. Third, for some reason "I smell like cookies" sounds verrrrry sexy to me. I think I need help.
No, Pat Robertson hates Seattle.
I so hope MooCow gets to make the babies. How could a reproductive minded female resist such a hot shirt?
I love the name too.
Sorry Miss Kendra. I've got a stuffy nose and can't read the other comments at the moment. I bet there is something hilarious happening about 32 comments in, but I can't wade in. The water is too cold and I'm a big baby.
new audio post, please.
Although I am incredibly disappointed that Vidal SassGnome didn't make the cut (seeing as how gnomes serve the purpose of hair groomers in your life and it all seemed incredibly clever and hilarious to me) I may be able to help you out with the Photoshop thing. I know some people who know some people. :) Just email me.
I heart you too MK!
OMG. I would like to state, for the record, that MSN anything sucks giant poo balls, and I'm being quiet now before I get in trouble.
And God hates Seattle. I am drowning. Knit me a liferaft.
i wish i wasn't on drugs right now (hooray for new drugs) so that i could respond individually, but know that in my head, i have responded. and responded well.
i must go vegetate now.
Hi #NAME#. Just found your site via vision direct. Although I was looking for vision direct I was glad i came upon your site. Thanks for the read!
