And of course, when gnomes are outlawed...

How can you throw an unwieldy, non-aerodynamic garden gnome that distance with such accuracy? This woman has really good arm!!

It's "bull hockery". "Hocky" being an antiquated term for "sheep dip", being an antiquated term for "road apples" being an antiquated term for ... you know, I never realized just how many terms there are for "manure".
To: Red Badger
Hate thos garden gnomes but....this may change my mind. Isn't it wonderful to see people stand up for THEIR rights and property? And...isn't it wonderful to have so many friends help out too? This is a good story. A good story.

My Nan has a quantity of gnomes in her Berkshire garden.
I agree. They need to be outlawed :D

Fliff piffle! The Roaming Gnome doesn't say Bull Hockery! But it may be honkity or hoggidy. "Bull Sheep Dip" doesn't make sense. Hump Goobiddy, I say!

I'm certain it's "hockery", but whether it is, or isn't, I think we get where he's going. Don't forget your hat! I wish they hadn't dropped that tag line. We loved it in our house.

"When it hit him he lay down for a while. I got my rolling pin in case. I didn't want to break another gnome." LOL, this is my favorite line of the article...

"You are old, Mrs. Collop", the reporter said
"And your hair has become rather white
"And yet you ge-nomed this guy right on his head
"Do you think at your age this is right?"
The granny replied, "Well, I'll tell you, my son
"I feared it would injure his brain
"But then I was perfectly sure he had none
"So I nailed him without feeling much pain"
"You are old, my dear grandma, I should hardly suppose
"That your arm was as steady as ever
"Yet you landed a strike on the tip of his nose
"What makes you so strong and so clever?"
"At my age", said the granny, as she shook her grey locks
"I keep all of my limbs strong and supple
"By the use of some steroids - one shilling per box
"Allow me to sell you a couple?"

Had to go to a meeting so I'm late.
Garden Gnome Blues
Went out last evening,
To break in a house.
Picked a little old lady,
As meek as a mouse.
I was on the roof top,
She heard me alone.
She went outside and yelled at me,
Then hit me with a Gnome.
I got the hit in the head with a Garden Gnome Blues.
Now my story is spreadin all over the news.
Outsmarted by a granny in fuzzy shoes.
I got the hit in the head with a Garden Gnome Blues.
