Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 12, 2012

You will soon be worshipped by gnomes.

Lio will probably turn around and run them over.

All together now:

“We represent the lollipop guild…”

Gnomes are headed to Nome.

Well, they didn’t have a clear path to ride on before… Yeah, so awesome, ride on, Elves, ride on…

Now we know what they do in their spare time when they’re not making cookies…

Hey Lio, holding up traffic again?

Lio is sort of the grand marshal of the gnome parade; and he thought he was just mowing the lawn. You never can tell!

Somewhere the Roaming Gnome (from Travelocity.com) is applauding you, Lio.

hey man, hurry up with the highway

“Elves has left the building.”

Gnomes, Go Home!

They’re actually protecting Lio. They’re guardin’ gnomes.

Those little guys aren’t so bad once you get to gnome.

We have a convoy!

Lio needs to wear something cooler. Who ever heard of mowing the grass in a long sleeved shirt when it’s really hot out? He’s always fully clothed and his dad is always in shorts…no matter the season.

Wow. Am I the only one thinking of the 1967 Disney film The Gnome-Mobile? Starring Walter Brennen and the kids from Mary Poppins. Dang, I can’t remember it all so now I only have half the theme song stuck in my head.

Always a traffic back up behind heavy equipment

traffic report is bumper to bumper on the beltway

Looks like they want to get through.

Funny, you don’t look Vogon.

Any of them have last name Chomsky?

There’s no face like gnome.

By the time the grass is all cut, there will be hundreds. I keep stepping on their little pointy hats.

he he he!
