Creepy Gnome terrorises town in Argentina

[salvorhardin]

Hah! My bet is it's a plastic lawn gnome. They're in league with the white plastic chairs donchaknow.

A TOWN in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.

The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.

Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina.

Bowie was so embarrassed in later years by this that he refused to play it live. So the NME launched a campaign to force him to play it on his 'requests' tour - "Just Say Gnome".

7. FUCK YEAH!

man, if I had some weird stuff like that happening in my neighborhood, I'd like to think I'm the kind of crazy person who would run straight for it, tackle it, and drag it into the light.

That would be awesome.
