Owning one or two of these weird little guys is O.K. but I think when you start filling your yard with these tiny little freaks it says to me and any young prankster like yourself back then, “Please screw with me” cause I need to be played with.(01-19-2022, 02:45 PM)Mobile-Agma Wrote: For what Purpose other than to devalue his own assets, I don't see a reason for doing that.

Still, try to imagine how many properties you would have to successfully buy for that to happen? Think of the Property Tax you would have to pay on essentially useless properties! Not to mention, where the heck do you get a steady supply of 'Romanesque' statues with nutbar inscriptions??!?!
Probably the guy has a friend who is a budding artist -- a scupltor -- who is having the time of his life creating Brad-Pitt-look-alikes that are sprouting off about Death Ray magic from outer space!

Oh, you have no idea!!!
They once plotted out one poor target-house that the homeowner would have awakened only to find more than 10 garden gnomes arranged in positions depicting a sex orgy!!
I think they even had a bodyguard-gnome that was kind of making sure no-one else would bother the other amourous gnomes!
She would call and tell me these stories, and we would just be howling with laughter!
And I must say, we had a few 'human targets' of our own -- idiot-children who said the most outrageous things on-line, only to have two sudden somewhat-related 'doubles' that were making a live parody of the person's foolishness. (I must admit, I was young then, and nowhere near 'mature', but she and I would have left (user whose name is omitted but you can guess) in a mad rage, and the rest of the on-line community with aching sides and tears!)
(All my neighbours thought I was plumb crazy, laughing so loud, so often, when they knew I had no TV and there was no-one over visiting! LOL!)
I mean let’s get serious here, when you have a collection of ceramic midgets that have weird names like Brinder or Winkelthorpe that have different personalities belong to different clans such as tree clan or middle earth clan. Maybe you are asking for a late night visit from the neighbourhood prankster to reposition your “special little fellas”.
