so why call yourself the furious gnome?

I've gotten a lot of emails from the blog asking me, so hey, what's up with your blogs name?


Well.... a joke I have heard before, actually I guess I was the joke, anyways someone called me a gnome once, and with the group of people I was with at that time it just really sticked. I didn't get that upset, I mean, gnomes aren't necessarily a bad thing, right? They seem to be real jolly people,not a care in the world. These guys over here to the right happen to have joined up in a band and are having the time of their lives. Lucky Gnomes! Who wouldn't want the fame, fortune, that come with being in a band.



So after awhile, let's just estimate I'd say about TEN years of gnome jokes and references, surprise gifts (who wraps up garden gnomes anyway?), and joke after joke after joke, I drew a line in the sand. The gnome to the left is simulating a JUDO chop to an adversary, excellent form by the way. Wile Martial Arts training has taken a back seat to other developments in my life, I have instead chosen to hone my skills in the WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!


Now I would embrace what those used against me, I would become, the FURIOUS GNOME!
