Here Today... Gone To Hell!

A TOWN in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.

The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.

Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina.

He said: ?We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning.

?I began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking.

"Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones.

"We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid."

Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome.

He said: ?This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now.

"One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.?

"Baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
I see a gnome tonight..."




Anyway, I just found this kinda weird...

LOL. And they've never heard of little people? It was probably just some guy having fun.  :hihi:

Damn it...I've been wondering what happened to Vern Troyer.

Guess that answers THAT question.

Somebody's going to have to go get him off his latest bender......I'll put a call into "Celebrity Rehab".

hahahahaha

I`m from Argentina, and that story is a fake!!  Funny but not true at all...
I cant believe that this gnome`s story got to the US...  haha

I guess Rachel Ray was visiting.  She'd have to be considered either a gnome, troll, or mun-chee-chee.  Did I mention I can't stand Rachel Ray? 

 "yum-o"  :hihi:

Oh D!  That post was "D-lish!"  :hihi:

Notice how all this footage of odd and unusual incidents are always grainy?
1400

I'd love Rachel to sit on my lap and tell me her secret recipe.

I would've ran and kick it.

I do that all the time. IMO, if you're taller than someone, you have authority over them.

She's all yours buddy!  Me no likey.  (insert vomit emoticon here) 

She can sit on my lap any day. I think she is just absolutely hot.

then she can cook you up some grub.

She has an appeal to us older guys (no offense Sman.)

Hey, I'm an old guy (33), and my idea of older sex symbol is Kim Raver of 24 and Lipstick Jungle. 

Have you ever just seen somebody on tv and thopught to yourself, that chick just looks like she has bad breath?  Yeah, I'm nuts.   ;D  But I'm serious.  She's totally not my type...the worst part about her is that I had to look at her over the holidays when she was on the Ritz cracker box!!!!!!!!!

I love that it wears a pointy hat and especially walks sideways :rofl:

last I heard, it was trying to book a flight to Florida :hihi:

Not to this older guy.

Back when she did her Maxim (I think it was Maxim) spread...she wasn't too bad.

Now?  She looks like an aging transvestite.  Those "man hands" make me wanna run for Sandra Lee's house, pronto.....at least her implants make her look a LITTLE more feminine.

But man....that girl can cook.  And for that reason, and that reason alone, I continue to be a "30 minute meals" watcher.

WAIT!  It was the ROAMING GNOME FROM TRAVELOCITY!

The thing musta been on holiday from commercials and it's busy run on The Amazing Race!

Got pissed at the local bar, and was out walking it off.

Jeesh...glad for that.  I don't have to go try to find Vern, now.

The Maxim spread sold me, but then again I have no standards.

The only thing I'd rule out is a midget, and that's because I don't drink anymore.

lol.

My Response: Maybe I should try LSD too.

 :rofl: :rofl: Too funny! What do they think a gnome would do? Bite their ankle?

All midgets do.

Or at least, they should.
