Not a real garden gnome but a fake one that comes (not literally, but you know what I mean) in the middle of the night and scares the excrement out of your house guests.

Programmable, animatronic lawn ornaments that go BUMP! in the night; Leave concrete turds on your lawn and deliberately attack anyone sneaking around your house, whether they should be or not.

When they're not scring people they simply scoop up pebbles from your path, load them into blowpipes and spit them onto your, and you neighbours', rooftops just to annoy everyone.

In daylight their wheels and batons and red, glowing eyes are all hidden away in the cast concrete form of these nasty, little, custom-made poltergeists.

       Maybe at dawn they could crawl up the walls, and spend their day clinging to the guttering and sneering at passers-by ... Gargoyle Gnomes ....

       I wonder why there is no category for gnome ideas. I wonder why so many gnome ideas come from a self confessed gnome hater.

       There appears to be a Bee in your Bonnet!
In answer to [zeno] I suspect the answer is "Know Thine Enemy"

       In response to your wonderings, [zeno]:   

       There will be a category when there are enough ideas to warrant one.   

       A new neighbour in our street has some sort of sick obsession with the damned things. Their front yard is a bizarre shrine to all things gnome and fey. I'll see if I can post a photo so you can see the extent of the madness.

       '9 Gnomes Mad' Perhaps?
gnomethang, Sep 30 2008
  

       Might want to make discreet inquiries about the health of their relatives.

       There should a movie called Twelve Gnomes.

       <turns gnome over and reads disclaimer: "Any resemblance these gnomes bear to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.   

       Honestly.   

       You have our word on it.   

       We promise.">

       I want that to be true

       // gnomes bear //   

       Bear Gnomes ? Gnomes that look like bears in pointy hats ?   

       Verrrrry surreal ....

       AKA Palace Guards, I think.
UnaBubba, Oct 02 2008
  

       I've been thinking about this idea. Poltergnomes should really be spitting out little pebbles onto the rooftop. That I would vote for.
