What Unspeakable

...EE-VILLE.

Gnome, gnome on derange.

It's being called the "Gnomesville Massacre" and emergency workers in Western Australia are offering a reward for the capture of vandals who smashed their way through a local tourist attraction.

An unknown number of attackers lopped off the heads or smashed several dozen of the pot-bellied statues this week at Gnomesville, a collection of more than a 1,000 colorful characters deep in a forest south of Perth.

"We are incensed by the damage done to the gnomes and willing to pay a reward to catch the culprits," State Emergency Service Volunteer Association President Phillip Petersen told Reuters.

Six orange-colored gnomes depicting emergency workers were among those destroyed, Petersen said, adding the reward was A$500 ($390).

The population of Gnomesville has grown from a handful of statues placed covertly in the forest a few years ago, making it a popular stop off for tour buses visiting nearby vineyards.



Look at those cheerful pudgy faces...::sob::...the BASTARDS.

I hope Tim hasn't seen this yet, bless his tender heart. It'll ruin his day. Global warming and polar bear gonads shrinking pale in comparison.

What do you call 1000 smashed gnomes in a forest south of Perth?

A good start.

I wonder if the little @#%&ers would fit in a skeet thrower?

That's a spot in severe need of a couple of men with automatic weapons.
