                  Once a year, as the leaves turn, and a chill
                  permeates the air, the
                  dreaded LAWN GNOME
                  emerges from his woodsy
                  lair to give his
                  "yay" or "nay"
                  to the
                  festivities. 
                   
                  (Why is he called a lawn gnome? Shouldn't he be a wood gnome since he lives in the woods? But if we called
                  him a wood gnome wouldn't
                  most people assume
                  that he is actually made of wood, when in fact most lawn gnomes are
                  ceramic or concrete?)

                  Um...What's the deal? This kid is still standing
                  next to me and he's not
                  trembling.

                  THE HORROR!...What could be more terrible than a lawn
                  gnome and a clown? (Matt
                  Romine & Clint
                  Williams) 
                   
                  "After I beat this
                  clown, I'm gonna'
                  haul him off to my woodsy
                  lair and deep-fry
                  'em" laughs the despicable
                  LAWN GNOME.

                  "Hey LG, have you
                  ever had hot dogs"
                  asked Alex? 
                   
                  "Naw boy. But I was
                  wonderin', have
                  you ever heard of deep-fry?"

                  Lawn Gnome and Jordan Lowe. "Hey kid, I'm selling a new line of
                  deep-fryers. With the holidays approaching
                  you could really use one. If you want to
                  visit my woodsy lair I could do a demo for
                  you."

                  Marc 'Rabid" Romine and the villainous Lawn Gnome. Marc won
                  a store gift certificate
                  for most points
                  won from playing a variety
                  of games. LG won
                  a certficate for his costume. 
                   
                  Why do all the players
                  disappear after being
                  photographed with Lawn
                  Gnome? Do the words
                  "woodsy lair",
                  and "deep-fry"
                  mean anything?
