I hate gnomes... smug little fuckers with their inane, leering concrete smiles and jaunty, dipshit hats.

I'm hereby sponsoring the Gnome Olympics, a quadrennial event dedicated to the imaginative, athletic and brutal destruction of as many garden gnomes as possible.

Gold medals are up for grabs in a range of events:
Shooting
Throwing
Smashing
Melting
Fusing
Pulverising
Vaporising...

If it rids the world of another garden gnome then I'm all for it.

       If you were addicted to gnomes, and you wandered about a lot, would you be described as a gnomadict?

       When I was a teenager, at night we used to line them up on their owners' front window-ledges, all facing inwards, so when the owner came to open the curtains next morning...

       I fear that the popularisation of such an event would precipitate vast numbers of said item to be churned out, without adherence to normal supply and demand constraints. It seems that a reasonable market equilibrium has been struck between manufacturers and purveyors of said item. Rather let time, and fashion, be the force to reduce their numbers.   

       Please note: Throughout this anno I have not said gnomes. Dooooh!

       And now, a word from our sponsors: "Gnike, Just crush it."

       Ahh... steamroller races. "I love the smell of gnome guts in the morning."

       How about a sort of two-competitor-team-on-a- scooter-drive-by -gnome-shooting-biathlon ?

       Sounds like you could use a "large gnomon supercollider" (solar powered, of course.)

       //"large gnomon supercollider"//
I don't think this idea extends to sundials, does it?
