I adore gnomes and all things supernatural/fantastical. So, after intense brainstorming (sorry to Frederick Cope for having to hear all of our ideas), we settled on calling the gnome "Denny Chimes." It has a nice ring to it. ;)
Before each game, he is gently placed in front of the television, so that he can send positive vibes and goodwill to the players. After the game, we've been taking a picture of all participants in said game. So, here are the games, the Copelands, the guests, and Denny Chimes!!

We're undefeated when we watch with friends, so please come visit to ensure more victories.
ReplyDeletep.s. The angry picture might be misnamed: you look like a mad, evil scientist about to choke Oliver and I look like I'm fighting through constipation. Apologies to all.
please note the change in Oliver's face from "sad" to "angry"... he's obviously more scared!! ha. The last one made me laugh out loud. Now, I'm about to go find me and Auburn gnome!
ReplyDeletePoor Mr. Oliver--he's such a good sport. He was certainly scared of my impression of Dr. Horrible and of Adam's fists. Poor boy...but he survived! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get an Auburn gnome...we can have Dueling Gnomes over Thanksgiving/Iron Bowl weekend!!
