Did any of you guys have this book when you were a kid?



Please share your favorite memories of this classic book.





As I recall, there were nude gnomes in the book as well, but I won't post those because this is a work friendly website.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
Gangsters planted a "secret" marijuana field within the vast tracks of land my water horse owns, at first I enjoyed thinking of them as gnomes. Mythical creatures lurking around out there, sneaking about in the wee hours of the morning up to mischief. Then they fed my water horse lead and I just don't know if I have the mental resilience to continue talking about gnomes. I'm sorry. I must take my leave.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

the art is very good btw OP can you post more pictures? pretty sure that "troll grinding gnome's feet off on millstone" was one of the pictures so maybe post that one?

I think I once read a really long article about how those aren't actually racist, but since people don't know their history they assume they are and since everyone assumes that then they may as well actually be racist or something like that. Complicated business, these gnomes.

I heard the same about those little lawn statues of a blackety black man jockey riding a horse. Supposedly they meant this house is a stop on the underground railroad and are therefore the exact opposite of racist, but gently caress if I'm going to actually look it up.

Why is painting a gnome black racist? This seems like an overreach.

That's obviously racist and not what I meant. I was taking about the picture from the last page of the lawn gnome with brown skin.

I swear by 20 posts per page.

And that looks like a reasonable skin tone for a black person, I guess the lips are weird but there are people with vibrant lips out there so whatever.
