Yes

are you people morons? Is this some kind of big joke? You can't be serious... garden gnomes? My gosh. Do you live in a fairy tale world? You know, that old cartoon "the gnomes"? it wasn't a documentary! Goodness, what is next? Free the flowerpots? Death to swimming pools? You know, your website makes me want to buy a hundred gnomes and put them in my yard, and I would just LOVE you to come by and try to steal them.

I just don't get it
	I dont get it....free the gnomes....pardon me for being rude...I dont mean to be but....where exactly do you free them too....I just dont get it....free the gnomes...there not real.....I dont get it....not trying to be rude at all....I just dont get it!

It's not slavery...just enforced happiness

I want to hire them. Besides, I'm not so sure they want to be free. I personally believe that, if they come to work for me, they will be happy in their new occupation of terrorizing neighborhood children, and yes, even my grandchildren, in my Garden of Terror which is planned for the far back right corner of my yard...under the dying muskadine and scuppanong vines. What could be more fun for a gnome than to be able to freely dart out of their hiding places and nip at the ankles of small children as they traipse through the garden. Well, ok, as they run screaming, not traipsing... They will have ample free time to explore the other areas of the yard. I have a pond which they are free to lounge around, as long as they leave my fish alone. Of course, they are at risk for becoming a meal for the occasional possum or raccoon and danger from the air is ever present with the swooping down of hawks and herons. There are two pink, plastic flamingos, Fred and Ethel, who are regular hanger-outers at the pond . They are very tame and will allow the gnomes to be photographed with them. While I don't actually have any gnomes at the moment, I've been keeping my eyes out for some who would like gainful employment...preferably some down on their luck fellows (and gals) as I think adversity breeds character and makes for more interesting specimens. Also, they might not be as picky about their digs. I will provide materials for them to set up housekeeping. I'm considering putting an old commode, sink and tub back there for shade plantings (the area is very dark, damp and shady...an environment I understand gnomes prefer) and will also toss in a variety of materials that might be usable as gnome homes, including toadstool seeds. I will be happy to communicate with any gnomes that would like to advise me on the gnome home preferences and would also like to know about what sort of currency they prefer. Do they only deal in gold or will they accept good ole American dollars? If it's gold they want, then the deal's off...I learned my lesson about gold from the Leprecaun scam that nearly did me in. Boy, those little green buggars really are obsessive about gold and will do just about anything to obtain it! I'm just now getting all my fillings and crowns replaced (with silver, I might add)...so if gnomes have any little quirks relating to gold or silver, I need to know about it. So, again, I'm not talking gnome slavery...they will be housed, fed, clothed and paid...with time off when there's nothing going on. A few stipulations will apply, such as don't leave the back yard, stay out of my car unless invited...those Leprecauns...well, that's another story, leave the dog and cat alone and stay out of the See Rock City birdhouse. Oh, and it's imperative that they keep the noise level down. They are to be seen and not heard. Don't want the zoning board to get suspicious. There are very stringent gnome laws in this town. After a probation period, I will consider taking one or all with me when I go to the beach. I will consider interviewing an Imp or two as well, but admit to being a little spooked by them. I have some tall grass I would like for them to reside in and dart in and out with an impish leer when someone walks by. So rest assured that if any gnomes or imps should decide to come to reside in my garden, they will be treated well. I will give them buttons and needles and thread, felt, and feathers and foam for their bed...Cheerios, Triscuits, M&M's, Sprinkles, Tabasco, Pickles and Carbonated Drinkles...and the one other thing all gnomes want the most...Cinnamon-Garlic Cut-off Crust Toast.

	Hi guys, you all seem like sensible people.but I Iooked through your site and I still can't understand why you want to free gnomes. I mean things like poverty, war and violent dictators like Bush are much more important than plastic shits that stand in your garden. Yours not so sincerely, Jalex.

yep, evol

How dare you think about trying to steal the gnomes away from us!!!!! They are not enslaved! If they had any problem with it, they would have gotten up and left by now, you loser!!!!!!!!!!! our gnomes will not be blinded by your stupidity!!!!!! We will stand!!!!! Can't we all just get along? You know what, I bet your one of those evol people from blues clues that are trying to brainwash my little brother with Nazi extremist ideas! Why don't you make such a big fuss over blue HMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
