FYI, some of the influential people of our community DON'T live in our community.
Did I mention that gnomes can transport themselves through time and distance by eating copious amounts of vegetation as well as human foods high in calories? Still wonder why you see so many food wrappers on the bike paths? Little grandfatherly gnomes are theft artists, to say the least.
Our great leaders are not the only victims of gnomish stalking, however. It is said that news reporters in the local area have been trying for quite sometime to figure out where all their bisquick mix in their kitchen cabinets keeps disappearing to.
Also, if you pay attention you may notice a latent trend in outdoor lawn lamp thefts is on the rise, in particular neighborhoods. These lamps are the perfect size for gnomish hands. Yes, the Ihop gnome is not the only miniature thief within our fair city.
