    They arrived to make people smile. That’s what the media said. Now humanity is enslaved to the gnomes, just 5 short years later.

    there’s a gnome place called gnomesville near where i live. Someone started putting a few gnomes there, and now there are literally thousands upon thousands. It’s pretty cool. Started with just 1 gnome.

      We have Elfland in my area. Started out with a kid’s toys on an empty lot, then when the lot got developed it got moved to a permanent home in a community space.

    That’s quite gnomantic, in a way. Very thoughtful.

    Is that a UK euphemism? That’s quaint.
