It just seems so... "British." I remember an episode of Fawlty Towers ending with John Cleese about to use a garden gnome as a weapon.

I certainly hope that garden gnome was registered.

I think what you're trying to say there is that this could very well have been an Assault Gnome.

He added: "Our usual advice would be not to get involved

If someone is on your property, attempting to enter your home, whatever you do: do not get involved!

If you want a Gnome try Gnome on the Range, or try digging in a shallow grave in the Heimlich National Forrest.

The loam gnome becomes a dome gnome.

Grandma Stops Intruder With Garden Gnome

Stupid intruder armed himself with just a garden gnome? Like that is going to scare a grandma...

garden gnome as a weapon

First thing I thought of, the episode ends with Basil marching off with intentions of inserting a large garden gnome into the bumbling contractor O'Reilly.

I still can't believe they only made 12 episodes. It seems like there were 30. I guess the writing was so tight that each episode carried a lot of punch.

"I certainly hope that garden gnome was registered."

She got it over the Internet. It's a full automatic.

I can't remember, is that what Hank did? I know his conscience got the better of him after a while.
